Example pipeline for running Momentic on Azure Pipelines. More reference configs live in momentic-ai/examples. Azure DevOps is auto-detected, so Momentic reads git metadata (branch, commit, pipeline) from the build environment automatically. For a given root package.json:
package.json
{
  "name": "my-momentic-repo",
  "scripts": {},
  "devDependencies": {
    "momentic": "latest"
  }
}
Create a file called azure-pipelines.yml in your repository with the following contents:
azure-pipelines.yml
trigger:
  - main

pool:
  vmImage: ubuntu-latest

steps:
  - task: NodeTool@0
    inputs:
      versionSpec: "22.x"
    displayName: Install Node.js

  - script: npm install
    displayName: Install dependencies

  - script: npx momentic install-browsers --all
    displayName: Install browsers

  - script: npx momentic run
    displayName: Test
    env:
      MOMENTIC_API_KEY: $(MOMENTIC_API_KEY)

  - script: npx momentic results upload test-results
    displayName: Upload results
    condition: always()
    env:
      MOMENTIC_API_KEY: $(MOMENTIC_API_KEY)

​
Authentication

To run any commands, you must authenticate with Momentic by providing the MOMENTIC_API_KEY environment variable.
  1. Create an API key in the Momentic dashboard and copy the value.
  2. Add it as a secret pipeline variable named MOMENTIC_API_KEY (mark it as secret so it is masked in logs). Avoid committing it to the pipeline file.
  3. Secret variables are not exposed to scripts automatically, so map it into the environment of each momentic step with env:, as shown above.

​
Sharding

If you have a large test set, you can use sharding to run tests in parallel. This can significantly speed up your CI runs. Use a parallel job strategy and read the 1-indexed System.JobPositionInPhase and total System.TotalJobsInPhase for --shard-index / --shard-count. To collect every shard into a single run group in the dashboard, add a job that merges and uploads results after the tests finish.
