The official Ubuntu documentation can be found here.

Azure Devops Build yaml: "No repository found by name templates" even though it is displayed – Ubuntu

I have created a new OneBuild Pipeline and associated a OneBuild.Buddy.yml with it. But when trying to run validation here:

enter image description here

we get:

Validation: /.pipelines/OneBranch.Buddy.yml: No repository found by name templates

Build validation error

But the file exists – which is clear since the contents are displayed right there. So what does the error mean?

Note: this question differs from a similarly named one ADO YAML failing: No repository found by name templates because that one had a syntax error but mine passes an independent yml validator

Here is the pipeline yaml

    You need to define a repository resource so that the pipeline knows where @templates is located.

    i.e.

    repositories:
- repository: string # Required as first property. Alias for the repository.
  endpoint: string # ID of the service endpoint connecting to this repository.
  trigger: none | trigger | [ string ] # CI trigger for this repository, no CI trigger if skipped (only works for Azure Repos).
  name: string # repository name (format depends on 'type'; does not accept variables).
  ref: string # ref name to checkout; defaults to 'refs/heads/main'. The branch checked out by default whenever the resource trigger fires.
  type: string # Type of repository: git, github, githubenterprise, and bitbucket.

    Ref: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/yaml-schema/resources-repositories-repository?view=azure-pipelines

    If the template is located in the same repository as the pipeline, you don’t need to specify @templates — @templates would be referring to a repository resource named templates.

    In your pipeline you have this part:

    extends:
  template: v2/OneBranch.Official.CrossPlat.yml@templates

    Thing is that v2/OneBranch.Official.CrossPlat.yml@templates means:

    Take file v2/OneBranch.Official.CrossPlat.yml from the resource templates

    But I don’t see any definition of resource templates and any other resources at all.

    If we refer to the documentation:

    Azure Pipelines | Template types & usage

    # File: azure-pipelines.yml
resources:
  repositories:
    - repository: templates # That is how you define resource `templates`
      type: git
      name: Contoso/BuildTemplates
      ref: refs/tags/v1 # You might want to pin it to a specific tag to avoid surprises.

jobs:
- template: v2/OneBranch.Official.CrossPlat.yml@templates  # Then you use resource `templates` here

    So, you need to:

    1. Define resource (repository) with the name templates.
    2. Refer to the file from it later using template: v2/OneBranch.Official.CrossPlat.yml@templates.
