How to manage deployment job with the current build commit

ozbillwang

So we have two stages: Build (CI) and deployment (CD)

 

Everytime after I run a build I got a number, for example, 123

 

When I start a new deployment, I set three environments: 

dev

staging

production

 

the only difference betwen these environments are one environment variable , for example, I set below variables in the deployment job.

 

environment = dev

 

Now I found it is hard to get this simple job done. Because there is no source code checkout to check the commit in that build. 

 

For example, when I run the deployment on build 123, I should see the source code only in that build. tomorrow, I have a new commit and run the build, and generate build 124

 

If I start the deployment again with same build number 123, it in fact deploys the latest commit (that's in build 124). 

 

Bamboo ask me to do via Artifact, but I don't think that's the right way to do CICD. 

So how can I do? any better way?

Hi @ozbillwang,

Can you describe a bit more about the tasks you are using in your deployment stage?

How are you accessing the code that was built within your build stage.  Artifacts are generally the way that Bamboo moves built items that you which to save between jobs/stages/etc.  So I feel like they gave you the correct advice, but I'd like to know more about what you are doing in your environment to understand why you do think that is the correct way to do things?

Thanks!
