Research direction

The payload names no repository files or tests. Start by reading the Azure DevOps YAML example and checking the project's documented pipeline entry points for whether MSDO scans pipeline definitions; done would be a clear supported or unsupported answer for detecting SonarQube or Nexus IQ steps.

Description

enhancement

Hi,

Could I also use this to check for the existence of certain steps in an Azure DevOps YAML pipeline? Does it have this capability? For example, if there is a step that uses SonarQube or Nexus IQ - ie. can MSDO scan the following Azure DevOps YAML file and look for the existence of the steps involving SonarQube (example YAML below):

trigger:
- master # or the name of the main branch
- feature/*

steps:

- task: SonarQubePrepare@5
inputs:
SonarQube: 'YourSonarqubeServerEndpoint'
scannerMode: 'Other'
extraProperties: 'sonar.projectKey=YourProjectKey'

- task: SonarQubePublish@5
inputs:
pollingTimeoutSec: '300'
