How to include a yaml template between 2 different tasks in the another template in Azure pipeline deployment

Question

I'm new to yaml pipeline deployments, Can any point me to the right direction on how to include a yaml template between different tasks in the main template in Azure pipeline deployment.

I have created build.yaml file which has several tasks. Now I need to include/call/use another template (which has some tasks) in between the tasks in build.yaml

how can we achieve this ?

Can you add to your question the yaml and the template you want to insert? — WaitingForGuacamole, Jan 14 '22 at 14:29

Did you refer to the YAML pipeline documentation? It includes extensive examples of how to use templates. — Daniel Mann, Jan 14 '22 at 22:45

You can directly insert a step template between two tasks in a job like as below.

step-template.yml

steps:
- task: Bash@3
  displayName: 'Insert step'
  inputs:
    targetType: inline
    script: echo "This step is inserted form the templates."

azure-pipelines.yml

steps:
- task: Bash@3
  displayName: 'Before inserted step'
  inputs:
    targetType: inline
    script: echo "This step is before the inserted step."

- template: step-template.yml

- task: Bash@3
  displayName: 'After inserted step'
  inputs:
    targetType: inline
    script: echo "This step is after the inserted step."

Note: You can only insert Step templates between tasks in a job. The Job templates and Stage templates are not available.
