Hi, I'm currently an intern and building a web application with react. I'm only doing frontend and have no access to the backend.
After some development we want to host the website and the backend guy is building a pipeline.yml for me. Fast forward website doesn't work because of missing environmental files in the pipeline. I added them on azure but somehow you need to do that in the pipeline.yml as well. I have no idea how to do that and he said: "Find out for yourself and tell me later"

How should I work from here? I feel left alone with that backend stuff. Why should I fix this pipeline, isn't it his job or is it frontend?

    Pipeline should be configurations manager or DevOps. If you're running on devops then technically anyone on dev team can fix it if they know how.

    You could just ask for access and add it if you feel like it, otherwise ask explicitly for help some of the other devs

    Juniors with no backend and infrastructure knowledge should not be expected to just magically fix a deployment.

    Use the last comment to defend yourself and look at this as an ability to come out a hero

    And think yourself lucky

    I was given impossible coding tasks as in the fucking shit was sabotaged previously

    If it isn’t that he fucked it up find out
    If it doesn’t work to doc figure that out
    If you can’t figure out why you can’t go further anyway

    Eg if it’s one of those wonderful pieces of shit with terrible error messages and no logs worth a damn

    @Hazarth Thanks for advice. I added them on azure like on heroku for .env data. But somehow that's not working. I don't know anything about docker, azure, .yml.

    Definetely keep communication with him in some form you can refer to later in case this becomes a pattern and you need to defend yourself.
