To be easier to use in declarative pipelines, the aws-codebuild plugin could set environment variables for build ID, artifacts location, and other relevant information. The plugin could set the variables for both successful and failed builds.
Currently, to get this information in a declarative pipeline, you must embed the pipeline step inside a script block:
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('Build') {
steps {
script {
def cbResponse = awsCodeBuild credentialsType: 'keys', projectName: 'hello-world', region: 'us-east-1', sourceControlType: 'jenkins'
env.ARTIFACTS_PATH = cbResponse.getArtifactsLocation().split('/', 2)[-1]
}
}
}
}
post {
always {
sh 'rm -fr artifacts'
s3Download bucket: 'my-artifacts-bucket', file: 'artifacts.zip', force: true, path: "${env.ARTIFACTS_PATH}", payloadSigningEnabled: true
unzip dir: 'artifacts', zipFile: 'artifacts.zip'
junit testResults: 'artifacts/build/reports/junit.xml'
}
}
}
Additionally, if the CodeBuild build fails, the returned object's getArtifactsLocation() method returns null, so it becomes impossible to download the artifacts from S3 (for example, to publish a failed test report to JUnit).
If the plugin were to set environment variables instead (for both success and failure), the above pipeline might look like this:
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('Build') {
steps {
awsCodeBuild credentialsType: 'keys', projectName: 'hello-world', region: 'us-east-1', sourceControlType: 'jenkins'
}
}
}
post {
always {
sh 'rm -fr artifacts'
echo "CodeBuild build ${env.CB_BUILD_ID} completed with status ${env.CB_BUILD_STATUS}."
echo "Downloading artifacts from ${env.CB_ARTIFACTS_ARN}..."
s3Download bucket: "${env.CB_ARTIFACTS_LOCATION}", file: "${env.CB_ARTIFACTS_NAME}", force: true, path: "${env.CB_ARTIFACTS_PATH}", payloadSigningEnabled: true
unzip dir: 'artifacts', zipFile: "${env.CB_ARTIFACTS_NAME}"
junit testResults: 'artifacts/build/reports/junit.xml'
}
}
}
Regardless of success or failure, the post block would have access to all the information it needs to download the artifacts.
