A friendly reminder that variable syntax in #AzureDevOps isn't important until it is. Which is all the time. Refresh your knowledge today so you don't end up like *someone* I know who was fixing a pipeline template bug at 1 am... It's me, hi! I'm the idiot, it's me... #DevOps #MVPBuzz #PowerShell

Yeah, been there and feel your pain 😭 Hope it all worked out 🤞

Yeah it was fine, I was just sitting there wondering what on earth was causing half my tasks to not compile... Didn't use expression variables.. what an idiot!

Also, whilst troubleshooting complex pipeline templates that compile differently based on variable / parameter values, never forget that the "Download full YAML" option exists. It performs the "compile" step for you, allowing you to debug without actually committing changes or running the pipeline.
