Trigger build in parent repository from submodule in Azure DevOps

1
votes

I have all my git repos and build definitions stores on Azure DevOps. As of now, I have build policies for the master branch in each seperate repository that ensures that no breaking changes can be merged into master.

One of the repos is used as a submodule in another repo. Say I have repo-A and repo-B, where repo-B is a submodule in repo-A:

├── repo-A
│   ├── repo-B

When a PR is requested in repo-B from feature-branch I would like to run my builds in repo-A with feature-branch checked out in repo-B. Can this be done in Azure DevOps and if so, how?

Trigger build in parent repository from submodule in Azure DevOps

I am afraid there is no such way we could trigger build in parent repository but PR from sub-module. At the moment, we could only trigger and build on a single git repository.

There is a closed user voice about this request for Azure DevOps. If it is important to you, you can open a new ticket here:
