Azure Pipelines–Pipeline Resource Trigger

Yesterday I started blogging about my journey moving from the ‘classic’ build approach to YAML templates. I shared how you can use a Build completion trigger to link your YAML build to a previously completed build. Although this approach works, it is no longer recommended.

A better way is to use ‘Pipeline Resource Triggers’.  This is done by defining a pipelines resource inside your YAML template. pipelines is a dedicated resource only for Azure Pipelines. Let’s have a look at the syntax:

In your resource definition, pipeline is a unique value that you can use to reference the pipeline resource later on. source is the name of the pipeline that produces an artifact.

Remark: As I mentioned in the example above, the source name is case sensitive.

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
