To add these tasks, use the name for YAML pipelines or friendly name of classic pipelines.

Installing PSRule extension

To use PSRule within Azure DevOps Services, install the extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace. For detailed instructions see Install extensions.

If you don't have permissions to install extensions within your Azure DevOps organization, you can request it to be installed by an admin instead.

Using within YAML pipelines

To use these tasks within YAML pipelines:

• Install rule modules with the ps-rule-install task (optional).
• Run analysis one or more times with the ps-rule-assert task.
• Publish analysis results with the Publish Test Results builtin task.

For example:

steps:

# Install PSRule.Rules.Azure from the PowerShell Gallery
- task: ps-rule-install@1
  inputs:
    module: PSRule.Rules.Azure   # Install PSRule.Rules.Azure from the PowerShell Gallery.
    latest: false                # Only install the module if not already installed.
    prerelease: false            # Install stable versions only.

# Run analysis from JSON files using the `PSRule.Rules.Azure` module and custom rules from `.ps-rule/`.
- task: ps-rule-assert@1
  inputs:
    inputType: inputPath
    inputPath: 'out/*.json'                  # Read objects from JSON files in 'out/'.
    modules: 'PSRule.Rules.Azure'            # Analyze objects using the rules within the PSRule.Rules.Azure PowerShell module.
    source: '.ps-rule/'                      # Additionally, analyze object using custom rules from '.ps-rule/'.
    outputFormat: NUnit3                     # Save results to an NUnit report.
    outputPath: reports/ps-rule-results.xml  # Write NUnit report to 'reports/ps-rule-results.xml'.

# Publish NUnit report as test results
- task: PublishTestResults@2
  displayName: 'Publish PSRule results'
  inputs:
    testRunTitle: 'PSRule'                          # The title to use for the test run.
    testRunner: NUnit                               # Import report using the NUnit format.
    testResultsFiles: 'reports/ps-rule-results.xml' # The previously saved NUnit report.
