Azure devops pipeline CmdLine Task script error

Question

Hi I am new to AzureDevops and pipelines, I am trying to create a CmdLine Task With a script that sets some variables based on the branch name here the script :

- task: CmdLine@2
  displayName: Find Branch type
  inputs:
   script: |
     IF contains($(Build.SourceBranch), 'release')==True (set isLongBranch=True
      ) ELSE IF contains($(Build.SourceBranch), 'support') (set isLongBranch=True
      ) ELSE IF contains($(Build.SourceBranchName), 'develop') (set isLongBranch=True
      ) ELSE IF contains($(Build.SourceBranchName), 'master') (set isLongBranch=True
      ) ELSE IF contains($(Build.SourceBranch), 'hotfix') (set isLongBranch=True
      ) ELSE (set isLongBranch=False)
     IF contains($(Build.SourceBranch), 'release') (set isSonar=True
      ) ELSE IF contains($(Build.SourceBranch), 'support'), 'support')] (set isSonar=True
      ) ELSE IF contains($(Build.SourceBranchName), 'develop') (set isSonar=True
      ) ELSE IF contains($(Build.SourceBranchName), 'master') (set isSonar=False
      ) ELSE IF contains($(Build.SourceBranch), 'hotfix') (set isSonar=True
      ) ELSE IF contains($(Build.SourceBranch), 'feature') (set isSonar=True
      ) ELSE IF %isPoolRequest%==True (set isSonar=False
      ) ELSE (set isSonar=False)
      #echo $(Build.SourceBranch)
      #echo $(Build.SourceBranchName)

The error I get is :

'release')==True was unexpected. ##[error]Cmd.exe has stopped. exit code : '255'.

Azure devops pipeline CmdLine Task script error

I got the same error with you, if I use the same code as you.

Generally, we use the findstr to check if the variable contains substring, like:

echo $(Build.SourceBranch) | findstr "release" >nul &&(
    echo "include"
)

Alternatively, you could use powershell scripts to do this:

$files = @("$(Build.SourceBranch)")
$excludeTypes = @("*release*","*support*", "*master*")

    foreach ($type in $excludeTypes) {
        if ($file -like $type) { 
            Write-Host ("Match found: {0} matches {1}" -f $file, $type)
            $Env:isLongBranch = true
        } 
          else
        {
          $Env:isLongBranch = False
        }
    }

You could check this thread for some more details.
