Question

We are using azure dev ops for CICD and validating PR\'s.

Yesterday I decided to start making yaml files for validation builds.

I created the pipeline. I set the

Answer 1

Set;

# A pipeline with no trigger
trigger: none

On your validation build pipeline. This will stop the build being run regardless of which branch / paths have been pushed.

The validation build pipeline will still respect the branch policies you've setup for PRs.

You can then have something like;

  paths:
    include:
      - 'src/ProjectA/*'
  branches:
    include:
      - development  

For your CI build pipelines which will trigger when there's a successful PR that affects ProjectA.
