Build only when a file contains specific text - jenkins

I would like to know how to continue with a build only when a file contains specific text?
I want the build to fail if the text is incorrect, otherwise continue with build.

update your script to return a nonzero exit status when the file doesn't contain the text. run your shell script via an sh step like this:
sh '/path/to/your/script_that_checks_another_file_for_certain_text.sh'
full pipeline:
pipeline {
agent { label 'docker' }
stages {
stage('build') {
steps {
sh '/path/to/your/script_that_checks_another_file_for_certain_text.sh'
echo 'this will not happen if the above script returns a bad exit status'
}
}
}
}

Jenkins treats any non-zero exit code as error

This is a concern as we have an executable which returns 2 as warning. We do not want to fail the Jenkins build pipeline just because of this. How can we modify the pipeline to accept an exit code 2, and prints out a reasonable warning message based on the exit code?
D:\Stage>c:\bin\mycommand
script returned exit code 2
When you run sh or bat in a Jenkins pipeline it will always fail the build (and throw an exception) for any non zero exit code - and that cannot be changed.
What you can do is use the returnStatus of the sh step (or cmd) which will return the exit code of the script instead of failing the build, and then you can use something like:
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('Run Script') {
steps {
script {
def exitCode = sh script: 'mycommand', returnStatus: true
if (exitCode == 2) {
// do something
}
else if (exitCode){
// other non-zero exit codes
}
else {
// exit code 0
}
}
}
}
}
}
The only drawback of this approach is that returnStatus cannot be used together with returnStdout, so if you need to get the returned output you will need to get it in another way (write to file and then read it for example).

Build on base of commit message condition or changed since last successful

I have multibranch with following code, i want that pipeline should start building only if
if commit message doesn't contain word like "INTERIM"
or how i can check "changed since last successful Build" condition
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('Build') {
when { changelog '.*INTERIM' }
steps {
echo 'I am building '+scm.branches[0].name+' branch.'
sh "echo Shell ${CHANGE_author}"
echo "echo Shell ${CHANGE_author}"
}
}
}
}
First condition is working but how i can achieve second?

Pass variables between Jenkins stages

I want to pass a variable which I read in stage A towards stage B somehow. I see in some examples that people write it to a file, but I guess that is not really a nice solution. I tried writing it to an environment variable, but I'm not really successful on that. How can I set it up properly?
To get it working I tried a lot of things and read that I should use the """ instead of ''' to start a shell and escape those variables to \${foo} for example.
Below is what I have as a pipeline:
#!/usr/bin/env groovy
pipeline {
agent { node { label 'php71' } }
environment {
packageName='my-package'
packageVersion=''
groupId='vznl'
nexus_endpoint='http://nexus.devtools.io'
nexus_username='jenkins'
nexus_password='J3nkins'
}
stages{
// Package dependencies
stage('Install dependencies') {
steps {
sh '''
echo Skip composer installation
#composer install --prefer-dist --optimize-autoloader --no-interaction
'''
}
}
// Unit tests
stage('Unit Tests') {
steps {
sh '''
echo Running PHP code coverage tests...
#composer test
'''
}
}
// Create artifact
stage('Package') {
steps {
echo 'Create package refs'
sh """
mkdir -p ./build/zpk
VERSIONTAG=\$(grep 'version' composer.json)
REGEX='"version": "([0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+)"'
if [[ \${VERSIONTAG} =~ \${REGEX} ]]
then
env.packageVersion=\${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
/usr/bin/zs-client packZpk --folder=. --destination=./build/zpk --name=${env.packageName}-${env.packageVersion}.zpk --version=${env.packageVersion}
else
echo "No version found!"
exit 1
fi
"""
}
}
// Publish ZPK package to Nexus
stage('Publish packages') {
steps {
echo "Publish ZPK Package"
sh "curl -u ${env.nexus_username}:${env.nexus_password} --upload-file ./build/zpk/${env.packageName}-${env.packageVersion}.zpk ${env.nexus_endpoint}/repository/zpk-packages/${groupId}/${env.packageName}-${env.packageVersion}.zpk"
archive includes: './build/**/*.{zpk,rpm,deb}'
}
}
}
}
As you can see the packageVersion which I read from stage Package needs to be used in stage Publish as well.
Overall tips against the pipeline are of course always welcome as well.
A problem in your code is that you are assigning version of environment variable within the sh step. This step will execute in its own isolated process, inheriting parent process environment variables.
However, the only way of passing data back to the parent is through STDOUT/STDERR or exit code. As you want a string value, it is best to echo version from the sh step and assign it to a variable within the script context.
If you reuse the node, the script context will persist, and variables will be available in the subsequent stage. A working example is below. Note that any try to put this within a parallel block can be of failure, as the version information variable can be written to by multiple processes.
#!/usr/bin/env groovy
pipeline {
environment {
AGENT_INFO = ''
}
agent {
docker {
image 'alpine'
reuseNode true
}
}
stages {
stage('Collect agent info'){
steps {
echo "Current agent info: ${env.AGENT_INFO}"
script {
def agentInfo = sh script:'uname -a', returnStdout: true
println "Agent info within script: ${agentInfo}"
AGENT_INFO = agentInfo.replace("/n", "")
env.AGENT_INFO = AGENT_INFO
}
}
}
stage("Print agent info"){
steps {
script {
echo "Collected agent info: ${AGENT_INFO}"
echo "Environment agent info: ${env.AGENT_INFO}"
}
}
}
}
}
Another option which doesn't involve using script, but is just declarative, is to stash things in a little temporary environment file.
You can then use this stash (like a temporary cache that only lives for the run) if the workload is sprayed out across parallel or distributed nodes as needed.
Something like:
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('first stage') {
steps {
// Write out any environment variables you like to a temporary file
sh 'echo export FOO=baz > myenv'
// Stash away for later use
stash 'myenv'
}
}
stage ("later stage") {
steps {
// Unstash the temporary file and apply it
unstash 'myenv'
// use the unstashed vars
sh 'source myenv && echo $FOO'
}
}
}
}

Jenkins Pipeline: Executing a shell script

I have create a pipeline like below and please note that I have the script files namely- "backup_grafana.sh" and "gitPush.sh" in source code repository where the Jenkinsfile is present. But I am unable to execute the script because of the following error:-
/home/jenkins/workspace/grafana-backup#tmp/durable-52495dad/script.sh:
line 1: backup_grafana.sh: not found
Please note that I am running jenkins master on kubernetes in a pod. So copying scripts files as suggested by the error is not possible because the pod may be destroyed and recreated dynamically(in this case with a new pod, my scripts will no longer be available in the jenkins master)
pipeline {
agent {
node {
label 'jenkins-slave-python2.7'
}
}
stages {
stage('Take the grafana backup') {
steps {
sh 'backup_grafana.sh'
}
}
stage('Push to the grafana-backup submodule repository') {
steps {
sh 'gitPush.sh'
}
}
}
}
Can you please suggest how can I run these scripts in Jenkinsfile? I would like to also mention that I want to run these scripts on a python slave that I have already created finely.
If the command 'sh backup_grafana.sh' fails to execute when it actually should have successfully executed, here are two possible solutions.
1) Maybe you need a dot slash in front of those executable commands to tell your shell where they are. if they are not in your $PATH, you need to tell your shell that they can be found in the current directory. here's the fixed Jenkinsfile with four non-whitespace characters added:
pipeline {
agent {
node {
label 'jenkins-slave-python2.7'
}
}
stages {
stage('Take the grafana backup') {
steps {
sh './backup_grafana.sh'
}
}
stage('Push to the grafana-backup submodule repository') {
steps {
sh './gitPush.sh'
}
}
}
}
2) Check whether you have declared your file as a bash or sh script by declaring one of the following as the first line in your script:
#!/bin/bash
or
#!/bin/sh

Pipeline step having trouble resolving a file path

I am having trouble getting a shell command to complete in a stage I have defined:
stages {
stage('E2E Tests') {
steps {
node('Protractor') {
checkout scm
sh '''
npm install
sh 'protractor test/protractor.conf.js --params.underTestUrl http://192.168.132.30:8091'
'''
}
}
}
}
The shell command issues a protractor call which takes a config file argument, but this file fails to be found when protractor tries to retrieve it.
If I take a look at the workspace directory for where the repo is checked out to from the checkout scm step I can see the test directory is present with the config file present the sh step is referencing.
So I'm unsure why the file cannot be found.
I thought about trying to verify the files that can be seen around the time the protractor command is being issued.
So something like:
stages {
stage('E2E Tests') {
steps {
node('Protractor') {
checkout scm
def files = findFiles(glob: 'test/**/*.conf.js')
sh '''
npm install
sh 'protractor test/protractor.conf.js --params.underTestUrl http://192.168.132.30:8091'
'''
echo """${files[0].name} ${files[0].path} ${files[0].directory} ${files[0].length} ${files[0].lastModified}"""
}
}
}
}
But this doesnt work, I dont think findFiles can be used inside a step?
Can anyone offer any suggestions about what may be going on here?
Thanks
to do the debugging you were attempting (to see if the file is actually there) you could wrap the findFiles in a script (making sure your echo is before the step that fails) or use a basic find in an "sh" step like this:
stages {
stage('E2E Tests') {
steps {
node('Protractor') {
checkout scm
// you could use the unix find command instead of groovy's findFiles
sh 'find test -name *.conf.js'
// if you're using a non-dsl-step (like findFiles), you must wrap it in a script
script {
def files = findFiles(glob: 'test/**/*.conf.js')
echo """${files[0].name} ${files[0].path} ${files[0].directory} ${files[0].length} ${files[0].lastModified}"""
sh '''
npm install
sh 'protractor test/protractor.conf.js --params.underTestUrl http://192.168.132.30:8091'
'''
}
}
}
}
}
