Azupre Pipelines + Github + Can't create CHECKS for pull requests

Question

I have created a new Pipeline at dev.azure.com, I have linked to the github repo, and even got triggered on a new Pull Request is created. BUT I can't get a new check for that branch:

PR: trigger is activated and working:

Also the CI is activated:

And the web hooks are created in github:

Summary: I don't know how to link OR create a new check that appears as selectable at github branch configuration.

Answer 1

My final goal was getting a check for using it at pull request verifications. I'm new in this of CI. After some research, I notice that in the dev.azure pipeline the connection to git hub had the same name as one of the available checks in GitHub branch configuration. So, I mark that check. In this case what happened was that it created a new check when PRs were done, but this check never got updated.

I think there are other configurations options that I actually don't know well. It seems to be related to the fact that in the repo should be a yml file with the pipeline configuration or something like that.

SOLUTION (for me): After talking with a friend of mine, he suggested NOT using azure pipelines for branches/PR validation. Instead, he suggested using Github Actions. That was the solution. After playing a bit with this GitHub actions (runtime versions, running paths, etc.) I got it works perfectly.

Answer 2

If your pipeline doesn't show up in this list, please ensure the following:

• You are using GitHub app authentication
• Your pipeline has run at least once in the last week

If you're using GitHub app authentication for your Azure Pipelines integration with GitHub, you can use your pipeline's build results with GitHub Checks to help protect your branches.

Besides, to configure mandatory validation builds for a GitHub repository, you must be its owner, a collaborator with the Admin role, or a GitHub organization member with the Write role.
