How to setup submodules Azure DevOps
Can somebody clarify how SubModule works in azure devops
MyDevOps Root Folder
I have a Solution called MyCore.sln containing 4-5 projects
I have my Main Solution called MyMain.sln containing another 4-5 projects project referencing MyCore.sln projects
It all compiles and works locally but fails when building in azure devops
Gone into MyMain.sln folder in powershell and executed as follows
executed as follows git submodule add https://myGroup@dev.azure.com/MyGroup/MyProjec/_git/MyCore
- I can now see a folder inside my Main Repo called MyCore with projects inside and I start reference them
I can see .gitmodules file
However when I go and build the pipeline it cannot find the projects that are referenced (belonging to myCore repo)
Am I missing the obvious?
Are there any comprehensive instructions on how to setup submodules in azure devops?
Can I visualize this anywhere?
In the advanced section of the Get Sources step you need to enable the Checkout Submodules option.
If you're using YAML builds, you need to add:
steps:
- checkout: self
submodules: true
As to your follow-up questions:
Where should I put my solution files
Ideally, you'd have a single solution, since you expect these projects to build together. Having multiple solutions will be awkward. If you want to share the components from one solution, you are probably better off publishing the projects from your 2nd repo as NuGet packages.
