assign variable by bash script during variable declaration time

Question

For my azure-pipeline.yml file, I would like to assign variable by bash script to get the name after the slash from the repoName as my imageName

variables:
  vmImageName: 'ubuntu-18.04'
  repoName: $(Build.Repository.Name)
  imageName: ${repoName##*/}

The repoName is top/cci I expected the print out result for imageName is cci. But the result is ${top/cci##*/}

How can I use the bash script to get the strings after the slash during the variable assignment?

Sorry I don't get it. Can you tell what value you want to have in imageName? — Krzysztof Madej

Maybe you can try this format:

pool:
  vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'

variables:
  vmImageName: 'ubuntu-18.04'
  repoName: $(Build.Repository.Name)
  imageName: $(basename $(repoName))

steps:

- task: Bash@3
  inputs:
    targetType: 'inline'
    script: |
      echo ImageName = $(imageName)

- task: CmdLine@2
  inputs:
    script: |
      echo ImageName = $(imageName)

The imageName: $(basename $(repoName)) seems to work well on my side.

variables:
  vmImageName: 'ubuntu-18.04'
  repoName: $(Build.Repository.Name)
  imageName: $(basename $(repoName))

Results:

If this is not what you're looking for, maybe you're looking for Set variables in scripts...
