Question

• I installed az cli and azure-devops extension.

>> az --version
azure-cli                         2.44.1

core                              2.44.1

Dependencies:
msal                              1.20.0
azure-mgmt-resource             21.1.0b1

Python location 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\CLI2\python.exe'

• set the default configuration for organization and project using

az devops configure --defaults organization=<org> project=<project>

• Run the following command

> az pipelines create --name 'MyCi'
Error: The following arguments are required: --repository 

However according to MicrosoftDoc the --repository parameter is Optional

• I am new to DevOps and don't know much about the devops-cliI.I try the full command.

> az pipelines create --name 'NameCI' --description 'pipeline for project' --repository AzureRepo
--branch main --repository-type tfsgit
Error: Page not found.  Operation returned a 404 status code.

• I can successfully create pipelines from browser
• I can delete pipelines from azure devops-cli but I cannot create pipelines.

Answer 1

According to the doc, I am trying to create an Azure Pipeline for a repository hosted in an Azure Repo in the same project.

az pipelines create --name 'ContosoBuild' --description 'Pipeline for contoso project' --repository SampleRepoName --branch master --repository-type tfsgit

I am receiving the same error message as yours.

By specifying the arguments "yml-path", the operation is successful.

Sample:

az pipelines create --name 'CreatedByCLI' --yml-path /azure-pipelines.yml --repository AzureCLIrepo --branch main --repository-type tfsgit

Output:

You can't create pipelines from Azure DevOps CLI. There is no command az pipelines create thats why it returned Page not found. Operation returned a 404 status code.
