Get current Timestamp and concatenate with string in yml file

Setting up a yml based azure build pipeline for which publishing artifacts require timestamp based name. Trying to do something like this

'ArtifactName' + currentTimeStamp

How can this be done in an yml file?

You can set the build name in the first line of yml script.

name: $(Date:yyyyMMdd)-$(Hours)$(Minutes)$(Seconds)

See tokens here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/process/run-number?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml

And then set the artifactName concatenating the $(Build.BuildNumber) that represents the name set before

    artifactName: 'ArtifactName-$(Build.BuildNumber)'

This should give you expected result:

trigger:
- master

pool:
  vmImage: ubuntu-latest

steps:
  - pwsh: |
      Write-Host "Setting up the date time for build variable"
      $date=$(Get-Date -format yyyyMMdd-Hmmss)
      Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=currentTimeStamp]$date"
    displayName: 'Geting timestamp'

  - task: PublishPipelineArtifact@1
    inputs:
      targetPath: '$(Pipeline.Workspace)'
      artifact: 'ArtifactName-$(currentTimeStamp)'
      publishLocation: 'pipeline'
