How to get URL of Pipeline Build

Question

From within a run of Azure Pipeline build, is there any way to get the URL of the build that is running?

Something like:

https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_build/results?buildId={build_number}

I would have assumed that it would have been available as one of the environment variables, but it doesn't seem to be.

Did you tried below solution? How did it go? – Levi Lu-MSFT Sep 20 '19 at 04:12 — Levi Lu-MSFT, Sep 20 '19 at 04:12

This one will work using all predefined variables

$buildUrl="$(System.TeamFoundationCollectionUri)$(System.TeamProject)/_build/results?buildId=$(Build.BuildId)" 

Write-Host $buildUrl

There is no pre-defined variable of the build URL, but you can get it easily because you have a variable for the build id:

steps:
- powershell: |
   $buildUrl = "https://dev.azure.com/$(System.TeamFoundationCollectionUri)$(System.TeamProject)/_build/results?buildId=$(Build.BuildId)"
   Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=buildUrl;]$buildUrl"
  displayName: 'Set build url variable'

In the next step I print the $(buildUrl) variable:

Use `_build` instead of `_builds`. – iaswtw Jul 08 '22 at 23:58

Here is alternative using System.CollectionUri variable which name is more generic, not specific to TFS. There is no equivalent with project name, so System.TeamProject has to be used, which will also work for GitHub repository.

The composed URL can be cached in Azure Pipelines variable in pipeline or job scope:

variables:
  MyResultsUrl: '$(System.CollectionUri)$(System.TeamProject)/_build/results?buildId=$(Build.BuildId)'

Adding query parameter ?view=logs you can make the URL jump straights to the logs.
