Deploy Step

The Deploy step deploys a single named project from the snapshot to the stage.

  

Field

Description

Step Name

The name of the step.

Description

An optional description for the step.

Project Name

The name of the project in the snapshot to deploy.  This project must be in the snapshot, or the deployment will fail.

Force DeployWhether or not to force deploy the project.  If true, this is equivalent to checking force deploy when individually deploying a project to an environment through the deploy request form.  Optionally, use a Groovy expression to make this field dynamic based on some contextual value (e.g. a property defined on the pipeline, and specified on the release).
FlexFieldsIf Deploy Request FlexFields are configured, entry will be prompted for on the step configuration (not shown above).  If the information is provided in the stage execution info, it will override the data entered on the step configuration.
InputsIf the deploy workflow for the project has inputs, entry will be prompted for on the step configuration (not shown above).  If the information is provided in the stage execution info, it will override the data entered on the step configuration.
Precondition

An optional Groovy script which determines whether the gate or step is applicable during execution.  The script has access to variables and methods listed in the expression drop-down.  The script must return true if the gate/step is applicable, or false otherwise.  If no script is provided, the default is to return true (applicable).

ContinueIf checked, any failure will be ignored, and the pipeline execution will continue.
Notify Pipeline RoleSelects one or more roles from the pipeline definition to notify in case of error.  Default role members are defined on the pipeline, and optional overridden for each release.

Deploying a named project reduces the generic nature of pipelines, as it assumes that the specific project is in the release and snapshot.  To make the pipeline more generic, and therefore reusable, you should try to avoid tying it to specific projects where possible.

Script Variables

Optionally, a Groovy script can be written for any Subject, Message, and Precondition fields. The script has access to the following variables and methods listed in the expression  drop-down.

Variable

Description

ReleaseName

Name of the release provided when created
SnapshotNameName of the snapshot (auto generated by date and time when created)
SnapshotDuplicateFilesFlagTrue if there are duplicate files in the snapshot
SnapshotDescriptionDescription of the snapshot
StageExecutionId

ID of the execution
