How to manually fail a bitbucket pipeline in bash script

[jawad_abbasi]

#!/bin/bash 

function run_cmd()
 {
 cmd=$1 
eval $cmd

 if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]; then
 return
 fi 
 echo "Failed to execute $cmd"
 exit 1 //This should be exit and fail the bb pipeline but it will give a successfull message in pipeline after echo 
}
 
 export BUCKET_KEY=$(run_cmd "python beanstalk_deploy.py")

Hi team, i want to manually fail my bitbucket pipeline whenever there is some error in my python script. It exits the script but didn't show a failure message. 

I have also tried it by using all of these set commands  at the start of bash script but also this doesn't works for me.

set -euxo pipefail

How can it get rid out of this ?

I solved this by using the below code:

//Calling the python script 
python beanstalk_deploy.py

//It contains the status of the last executed command
if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]; then 
  echo "success*********" 
  exit 0
else
  echo "failed************" 
  exit 1 
fi

 This works for me and it fails the bitbucket pipeline.

Ah!  BTW thats the better way to check return code of the command, but do not forget to return exit code from the python script.

@jawad_abbasi How do you exit a non-zero code in your beanstalk_deploy.py? I have tried exit(1) and sys.exit(1) but neither is working. Thanks
