New Contributorqsys-generate outputs Info as Error
Hi everybody,
I implemented a CI pipeline for Quartus projects in Azure DevOps / TFS that also runs qsys-generate.exe.
One of the first outputs, namely "Info: Parallel IP Generation is enabled." gets marked as an error:
##[error]2026.04.28.14:01:10 Info: Parallel IP Generation is enabled.
That leads to a fail of the whole pipeline (even though everything is fine). I can solve this by redirecting stderr to stdout, by calling qsys-generate.exe with the argument "2>&1". But of course this would also "hide" real errors.
Could this issue please be fixed at some time?
Thanks,
Thomas

From what I understand, the Quartus is supported in Microsoft Azure Platform.

Correct me if I am wrong, it seem that Azure DevOps / TFS and Microsoft Azure Platform are related but not the same thing.

If that is the case, the Quartus is not officially supported using the Azure DevOps / TFS.

thomaseggerHi Richard, thank you!
But as far as I unterstand this error, it should not be platform-dependend or -triggered. Each console running qsys-generate should see this "Info: Parallel IP Generation is enabled." as an error. Or am I wrong?

This appears to be an informational message rather than an error message. Normally, errors are reported in the format:
Error: <error message>
In your case, it seems possible that all messages are being treated as errors. You may want to disable the Parallel IP Generation feature and check whether subsequent informational messages are also reported as errors.
