Table of Contents

Question

You are assisting with the automation of ALM by using Azure DevOps pipelines.

You need to pre-populate an environment variable with specific details for the target environments.

What should you do?

Select only one answer.

A. Run the Microsoft Power Platform Checker.
B. Generate a deployment settings file.
C. Add a reference by using the Power Apps CLI.
D. Remove the current value before exporting the solution.

Answer

B. Generate a deployment settings file.

Explanation

This item tests the candidate’s knowledge of creating and using environment variables.

The deployment settings file is a JSON file that contains the environment variables. You can edit this file to set the details for the target environment. You can include a settings file in the Azure DevOps pipeline to update the environment variables. Adding a reference by using the Power Apps CLI adds a project folder for a PCF code control into a solution. Removing the current value before exporting the solution is best practice but does not allow you to pre-populate the environment variable in the target solution. Running the checker step in the pipeline runs a set of best practice rules on the components in the solution but does not pre-populate the environment variable in the target solution.
