Execute Final script only on build failure

Adam Terlson

I want to execute an arbitrary shell script, but I only want it to run on build failure. Is there some way to either:

- Set up Bamboo to run this script only on build failure
- Or check from within the script whether the build was successful. Perhaps an environment/build variable?

Thoughts and ideas appreciated!

Hi Adam,

Currently Bamboo builds are not able to access active data about a build from within that build. The data required to determine that a build failed would not be available until the build completed, not giving the script time to run. Depending on the types of tasks you are running in Bamboo you could potentially create a test task that runs the script based on the results so far.

It would take the results of the build from the last Job that would usually run just before the build finished. Then it should parse those, and run the script based on the results, before sending the exact same results it tested on and sending those to Bamboo.

If this doesn't work for your particular workflow could you please detail what you're looking to do here so I can maybe provide further assistance.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply Turner. I consider my use-case to be quite simple. We use Slack, and I want to message my team in Slack when the build goes down via a curl command which does a POST with a JSON payload. I just want to fire off a curl when the build fails. If you have an idea for a different approach I'm all ears! Basically I want exactly what bitbucket does with its notifications drop down with hipchat, except with Slack.

@Carlen Benard Another thought I had: can I set a variable from one script task and read that variable from another script?

Hi Adam, That makes perfect sense. What you'll wanna do to achieve it is this: - Add a new task at the end of your build that takes the results as input - Have this new task check for a non-zero exit code (this is the check Bamboo does to determine pass v fail). -If the build exit code is non-zero (aka would fail to Bamboo) have it run the script then push the results it got as input to their appropriate test or out to Bamboo. - If the build would succeed just pass Bamboo a good exit code Thanks!

Yes indeed it does do exactly what I want. However, it is not available for cloud.
