How to document the runtime values of Build Variables in Azure DevOps build pipeline

Question

In TeamCity it is very easy to see the runtime values of all parameters used by (or more correctly: available to) the build, with those parameters actual values at the time of the build.

Azure DevOps build pipelines also use parameters (they call them variables). But how can I see what the values of those variables were during the build?

For example, my build pipeline defines a variable called $(agent.builddirectory). HOw can I see what that variable resolved to?

Answer 1

Edit your pipeline and add one of the following tasks

1. You can use a Bash task (requires Bash on the agent) with

Type = Inline
Script = env | sort

2. For Windows agents only, you can use a Command Line task with

Tool = cmd.exe
Arguments = /k set
