How to use Azure DevOps server TFS Predefined Variable in My Ansible Playbook

Question

 want to use Azure DevOps Predefine Variable "$(Build.SourcesDirectory)" in My playbook:

Here is my playbook:

---
- hosts: KBR_MTL361
  tasks:
   - name: copy file
     win_copy:
      src: D:\Web.config
      dest: $(Build.SourcesDirectory)

I am running this ansible-playbook using Azure DevOps Pipeline:

TFS Pipeline Task

But it is not working

Is there anyone who has any idea how to use the variable in the pipeline?

Answer 1

Variables make it simple to get important data into different areas of the pipeline. Variables are most commonly used to define a value that you can subsequently use in your pipeline. All variables are changeable strings. The value of a variable in your pipeline can change from job to job or from run to run.

When you define the same variable with the same name in numerous places, the one with the more local scope wins. As a result, a job-level variable can override a stage-level variable. A variable set at the pipeline root level will be overridden by a variable set at the stage level. A variable that is set at the root of the pipeline.
