How to run next job/stage in case previous one Failed ONLY?

Viktoriia Mishchanyn

I need to add mvn rollback stage in case the previous stage is Failed ONLY. It should not run in case previous jobs are successful. Can be between tasks as well

 

I was wondering if is there a bamboo variable I can use to add as a condition for with failed/passed value? and how can I correctly add this?

Hi @Viktoriia Mishchanyn 

The easiest way would be to put your mvn commands in a shell script and handle the failed logic in there.
You can easily catch the exit code of the mvn command and if it is a failure code you proceed with the mvn rollback.

If you want to build this with separate Bamboo stages/ tasks:

When the stage fails and becomes red in Bamboo it will not run any other stages or tasks afterwards except for the final stage.
So you need to mark the stage where you do the mvn rollback as final.

In the final stage you'll need a way to know if the previous stage was successful.
For that you'll have to catch the exit code of you intitial mvn command and store it as a Bamboo variable. Bamboo is not great at sharing variables between stages but here is a way: Inject Bamboo variables task 

In the final stage you can use a condition on the task where you execute mvn rollback where you check for the injected variable value
