Below outlines a way you can capture variables from child pipelines in the parent pipeline.
Solution:
The solution here is to use annotations [1] to capture the variables from child pipelines. Annotations are in plain text and should be considered non-confidential.
Child Pipeline:
Below is a step you can add at the end of the child pipeline to "export" the variables for the parent pipeline to access.
setAnnotation:
title: Set var on parent
image: codefresh/cli
commands:
- PARENT=$(codefresh get -o json annotation workflow $CF_BUILD_ID cf_predecessor | jq .value)
- echo "PARENT: $PARENT"
- codefresh create annotation workflow $PARENT MY_VAR="my awesome value"
Parent Pipeline:
Below is a step you will use after the child pipeline completes to access the "exported" variable. This step uses the cf_export [2] to make the variable accessible in future steps.
displayAnnotation:
title: setVar
image: codefresh/cli
commands:
- cf_export My_VAR="$(codefresh get -o json annotation workflow $CF_BUILD_ID MY_VAR | jq .value)"
