Get test run ID from Azure DO Publish Results task

Programming

Is it possible to obtain the runId or the whole link (https://.../.../.../.../Runs?runId=1031864&_a=runCharts) produced by the Publish test results task in the Azure DevOps pipeline?

I’ve tried to assign runId in the release variables and to pass it in the following tasks, but this did not work.

task: PublishTestResults@2
  inputs:
    testResultsFormat: 'VSTest'
    testResultsFiles: '**/TEST-*.xml'

Can anyone suggest a solution?

Yes, it is possible to obtain the runId or the whole link produced by the Publish test results task in the Azure DevOps pipeline.

You can use the PublishTestResults task’s output variable testRunSystem to get the runId value.

Here’s an example:

- task: PublishTestResults@2
  inputs:
    testResultsFormat: 'JUnit'
    testResultsFiles: '**/TEST-*.xml'
  displayName: Publish Test Results
  name: publishTestResults

- script: echo $(publishTestResults.testRunSystem)
  displayName: Get Run Id

The above script will output the runId value. You can use this value to construct the link to the test run in your Azure DevOps portal.

Alternatively, you can use the $(System.TeamFoundationCollectionUri) and $(System.TeamProject) predefined variables to construct the link, like this:

https://$(System.TeamFoundationCollectionUri)/$(System.TeamProject)/_build/results?buildId=$(Build.BuildId)&view=ms.vss-test-web.build-test-results-tab&runId=$(publishTestResults.testRunSystem)
