Azure Pipeline Enable Task base on variable value

I have a task in my pipeline which should be enabled base on the value of a variabe. The variable is defined in a separate yml file and it is set to true or false.

          - task: AzurePowerShell@3
            displayName: 'Create envionment'
            inputs:
              azureSubscription: 'id'
              ScriptPath: $(workFolder)/Provisions/Environment/create.ps1
              errorActionPreference: stop
              azurePowerShellVersion: LatestVersion
             enabled: $(createEnvironment)

However this gives me an error : Unexpected value $(createEnvironment)

Is it not possible to achieve this ?

You can use ${{variables.createEnvironment}} to refer to the variable. See below:

- task: AzurePowerShell@3
  displayName: 'Create envionment'
  inputs:
    ....   
  enabled: ${{variables.createEnvironment}}

The reason $(createEnvironment) not working is because $() is parsed at runtime. But ${{}} will be parsed at compile time. See here for more information.

You can also use Condition. But you need to wrap the variable createEnvironment in single quote ''.See below:

condition: eq(variables['createEnvironment'], true)

You should be using condition vs enabled parameter. It should look like this:

          - task: AzurePowerShell@3
            displayName: 'Create envionment'
            inputs:
              azureSubscription: 'id'
              ScriptPath: $(workFolder)/Provisions/Environment/create.ps1
              errorActionPreference: stop
              azurePowerShellVersion: LatestVersion
             condition: eq(variables[createEnvironment], true)
