While scanning a simple key, could not find expected ':'. Syntax error in azure-pipeline.yaml

I am trying to execute an azure pipeline. It was executing fine. But when I added a task to conditionally check pom.xml file exists then only I need to execute that particular task, but it fails

Solution

  • Your script needs to be more indented:

    - bash: |
    if [ -f Maven pom.xml ]; then
      echo "##vso[task.setVariable variable=FILEEXISTS]true"
    fi
- task: Maven@3
    etc
