How to get name of the step of the pipeline and use that name in Email notify subject

Abinaya Abi

I am using Cypress and Bitbucket for CI/CD. I have scheduled the run in bitbucket pipeline. I use the email notify feature in after script to get the test result via mail. it is difficult for me to understand which module failed. I have added bitbucket build number, step uuid. But, I want to include the name that I have added in the script.

I want the {BITBUCKET_STEP_NAME} to have the name of the step that is "Module 1". But, it was not working.

 

step: <<: default-step

name: Module 1

after-script: 

pipe: atlassian/email-notify:0.13.1

variables:

USERNAME: "xxxx@gmail.com"

PASSWORD: "......"

FROM: "xxxx@gmail.com"

TO: "yyyy@gmail.com"

HOST: "smtp.gmail.com"

PORT: 587

DEBUG: "true"

SUBJECT: "${BITBUCKET_STEP_NAME} [STAGING] BUILD# ${BITBUCKET_BUILD_NUMBER} ${STATUS}: ${BITBUCKET_STEP_NAME} Notification for ${BITBUCKET_BRANCH}."

BODY_PLAIN: "The artifacts can be downloaded from the following URL: $ARTIFACTS_URL"

 

${BITBUCKET_STEP_NAME}

 

${BITBUCKET_STEP_NAME}

 

${BITBUCKET_STEP_NAME}

Hi Abinaya,

BITBUCKET_STEP_NAME is not a default variable that can be referred to, hence why it's not returning the expected result. We have a feature request raised with our developers to include this so that it can be referenced in builds:

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-23102

In the description of the above feature request, there is a workaround for grabbing the step name within the build script by using our REST API and authenticating with App Password - for example:

 BITBUCKET_STEP_NAME=$(curl --request GET --url "https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/${BITBUCKET_REPO_FULL_NAME}/pipelines/{${BITBUCKET_PIPELINE_UUID}}/steps/{${BITBUCKET_STEP_UUID}}?fields=name" -u $BITBUCKET_USERNAME:$BITBUCKET_APP_PASSWORD | jq -r '.name')

I hope this helps.

Cheers!
