Adventures with Azure DevOps: .azcli Files to .sh

I am building a pipeline for deploying my application, the first thing I needed to do was deploy my Azure resources.

I have a tendency to be more imperative with my deployment strategy, using Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI over Azure Resource Management (ARM) templates.

I use Visual Studio Code to code my azure-pipelines.yml file, Azure Powershell, *.ps1, and Azure CLI, *.azcli files.

I use the .azcli file extension for the Visual Studio Code integration.

It seems though that the AzureCLI@2 task only wants to run files with an extension of .sh.

Fully qualified path of the script(.ps1 or .bat or .cmd when using Windows-based agent else .ps1 or .sh when using linux-based agent) or a path relative to the default working directory
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/deploy/azure-cli?view=azure-devops

Assuming my findings are correct, I think I am going to have to duplicate my .azcli files and assign the .sh extension.

I have a file called CreateResourceGroups.azcli that contains the following script:

az group create -n YOUR_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME -l "YOUR_LOCATION"

1	az group create -n YOUR_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME -l "YOUR_LOCATION"

I created another file, called CreateBashScripts.ps1, that contains the following:

Copy-Item -Path CreateResourceGroups.azcli -Destination CreateResourceGroups.sh

1	Copy-Item -Path CreateResourceGroups.azcli -Destination CreateResourceGroups.sh

And then in my azure-pipelines.yml I have the following:

stages:
&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;stage:&nbsp;ProvisionAzureResources
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;jobs:
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;job:&nbsp;ProvisionAzureResources
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;steps:
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;task:&nbsp;AzurePowerShell@5
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;displayName:&nbsp;CreateBashFiles
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;inputs:
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;azureSubscription:&nbsp;'YOUR_AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_NAME'
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ScriptType:&nbsp;'FilePath'
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ScriptPath:&nbsp;'./CreateBashFiles.ps1'
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;azurePowerShellVersion:&nbsp;'LatestVersion'
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;task:&nbsp;AzureCLI@2
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;displayName:&nbsp;CreateResourceGroups
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;inputs:
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;azureSubscription:&nbsp;'azure.com_mattruma'
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;scriptType:&nbsp;'bash'
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;scriptLocation:&nbsp;'scriptPath'
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;scriptPath:&nbsp;'CreateResourceGroups.sh'

stages:

  - stage: ProvisionAzureResources

    jobs:

      - job: ProvisionAzureResources

        steps:

        - task: AzurePowerShell@5

          displayName: CreateBashFiles

          inputs:

            azureSubscription: 'YOUR_AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_NAME'

            ScriptType: 'FilePath'

            ScriptPath: './CreateBashFiles.ps1'

            azurePowerShellVersion: 'LatestVersion'

        - task: AzureCLI@2

          displayName: CreateResourceGroups

          inputs:

            azureSubscription: 'azure.com_mattruma'

            scriptType: 'bash'

            scriptLocation: 'scriptPath'

            scriptPath: 'CreateResourceGroups.sh'

That seems to do the trick!

Now I get all the VS Code support for .azcli files and simply copy and rename them so Azure DevOps can run them.

If there is a better way, or I am totally missing something, please share!
