Unable to Authenticate when using YAML Build about vststasks

[julioarruda]

The checkout and persist credentials is a step, not job configuration, and you need to declare env: on task

steps:
- checkout: self
  persistCredentials: true

- task: GitflowBranchGate@1
  displayName: 'Gitflow Branch Gate'
  inputs:
    hotfixBranchLimit: 5
    hotfixBranchDaysLimit: 30
    releaseBranchLimit: 5
    releaseBranchDaysLimit: 365
    featureBranchLimit: 10
    featureBranchDaysLimit: 90
    hotfixBranchesMustNotHavePendingPullRequests: false
    releaseBranchesMustNotHavePendingPullRequests: false
    releaseMustNotBeBehindMaster: false
    mustNotHaveHotfixAndReleaseBranches: false
    featureBranchesMustNotBeBehindMaster: false
    CurrentFeatureMustNotBeBehindMaster: false
  env:
    SYSTEM_ACCESSTOKEN: $(System.AccessToken)

We have a winner - thanks @julioarruda and @kerwinc for your support! :)

This task work on yaml if you put this:

env:
SYSTEM_ACCESSTOKEN: $(System.AccessToken)

And this step:

• checkout: self
  persistCredentials: true

@MooVC as @julioarruda mentioned, you need to allow the task to use the System.AccessToken. Has the above solution worked for you?

Thanks for coming back on this one @kerwinc. I'm probably missing something here but when I did as suggested I get the following:

##[error]Could not find remote branch: refs/heads/master
