Note

Pipelines may be configured with a job level timeout. If the job level timeout interval elapses before your step completes, the running job (including your step) is terminated, even if the step is configured with a longer timeoutInMinutes interval. For more information, see Timeouts.

Important

The publish step is supported on Azure DevOps Services only. If you use it on Azure DevOps Server, you'll receive an error message similar to Pipeline Artifact Task is not supported in on-premises. Please use Build Artifact Task instead. Use Publish Build Artifacts if you're using Azure DevOps Server.
