I can't understand why dependencies don't work. I need to fix - task: cake@2 and other commented tasks. Now they looks like jobs, but I need to convert them into tasks. Here that task:

 - task: Cake@2
            displayName: Restore FE and Sitecore modules
            condition: Or(eq(dependencies.check.outputs['ChangedFiles.BE'], 'true'), ne(variables['Build.Reason'], 'PullRequest'))
            inputs:
              script: "$(Build.Repository.LocalPath)/src/build.cake"
              target: "Server :: Restore"
              verbosity: "Quiet"
              Version: "1.3.0"

Here's the whole code

Reproduce the same issue with the similar YAML sample:

enter image description here

The cause of the issue is that we are not able to directly use dependencies expression in condition field.

To solve this issue, you need to change the following two points.

  1. To use the variable in previous job, you can define variable to get the output variable in previous job. Then you can use the new variable to set the condition.

  2. The format you used to get the the output variable is incorrect.

Based on your situation, here is the correct sample:dependencies.Init.outputs['ChangedFiles.FE'].

Refer to the following example:

name: test-build$(Rev:.r)
trigger:
  branches:
    include:
      - develop
      - release/*

  paths:
    exclude:
      - "environment/**/*"

schedules:
- cron: 0 19 * * 1-5
  displayName: evening-deployment
  branches:
    include: 
    - develop
  always: false # whether to always run the pipeline or only if there have been source code changes since the last successful scheduled run. The default is false.

pool:
  vmImage: "windows-latest"

variables:
  - group: shared-variables
  - name: ArtifactsLocation
    value: "$(Build.Repository.LocalPath)/output"
  - name: NUGET_PACKAGES
    value: "$(Pipeline.Workspace)/.nuget/packages"
