Azure Pipeline Argument Formatting YAML

Question

I am working on some yaml for a pipeline and im using th Helm Task.I need to pass in arguments but I can only pass them in as a single line

arguments: --set key=$(value) --set key=$(value) --set key=$(value) --set key=$(value) --set key=$(value) --set key=$(value)--set key=$(value) --set key=$(value)

Can't seem to find a good way to add a hard return in yaml. It would be nice if it looked like this

arguments:
--set key=$(value)
--set key=$(value)
--set key=$(value)
--set key=$(value)
--set key=$(value)

How's your issue going? – Cece Dong - MSFT Jul 01 '20 at 10:05 — Cece Dong - MSFT, Jul 01 '20 at 10:05

As far as I understand, question is more related to azure pipelines rather than helm. Did you try the following?

arguments:
- "--set key=$(value)"
- "--set key=$(value)"
- "--set key=$(value)"
- "--set key=$(value)"
- "--set key=$(value)"

I figured this out. https://yaml-multiline.info/. You need to use a Block Style Indicator.

Example:

arguments: >
  --set key=$(value)
  --set key=$(value)
  --set key=$(value)
  --set key=$(value)
  --set key=$(value)

The ">" lets the compiler know that this is a block and converts it to a single string
