pipeline fails without error message when set the variable

Victor Scurtu

Here is the command which works in a git bash and fails in the pipeline.
No error messages in the log.

CURRENT_VERSION=$(mvn help:evaluate -Dexpression=project.version -q -DforceStdout);

 

However this line works fine in both:

- PREVIOUS_VERSION=$(cat previous_version.txt);

Please advise.

Hi Victor,

Is there a property <version> in the pom.xml of your repo, at the commit that this build is running for? I can reproduce this error if the pom.xml doesn't have the <version> property for the <project>.

In case that property exists at the commit that this build is running for, I would suggest the following:

• Add at the beginning of the script in the bitbucket-pipelines.yml file the command set -x
• Add the expression as a separate command in the script in the bitbucket-pipelines.yml file so we can see if there is any output
• Add the following command as well, which, instead of -q uses -X, to see more verbose output

  mvn help:evaluate -Dexpression=project.version -X -DforceStdout

Afterwards, you can post the output of the commands here so we can take a look.

It would also be useful to know the following:

• Does this build run on Atlassian infrastructure or are you using one of our Runners?
• In case it runs on Atlassian infrastructure or on a Linux Docker runner, what Docker image are you using as a build container for the step with this command?

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

Kind regards,
Theodora
