I have bash script that executes multiple times in single a job. If the script fails I want to exit out of the job and mark the job as failed.

plan.sh

#!/bin/bash
terraform init 
terraform plan -out=${PLAN_FILE_NAME}

gitlab job

plan:
 before_script:   
     - chmod +x ${CI_PROJECT_DIR}/gitlab/deploy/plan/plan.sh  
     - export PATH="$PATH:${CI_PROJECT_DIR}/gitlab/deploy/plan"   
 stage:plan
 script:
    - cd ${FOLDER1}
    - plan.sh

    - cd ${FOLDER2}
    - plan.sh

    - cd ${FOLDER2}
    - plan.sh
 artifacts:
   - "${FOLDER1}/${PLAN_FILE_NAME}"
   - "${FOLDER2}/${PLAN_FILE_NAME}"
   - "${FOLDER3}/${PLAN_FILE_NAME}"

currently if the command terraform init or terraform plan fails for a folder, still the script keeps executing for the next folder and finally its marking the job as successful.
I want to exit out of job and mark the job as failed when there is an error during terraform init or terraform plan.

What would be a better way to handle this?

  • I think gitlab pipelines get marked as failed as soon as the script stage exits with a non-zero exit code. Why not do something like if ! terraform init; then exit 1; fi etc etc Commented Feb 1, 2023 at 22:21

    Basically GitLab already does what you’re asking, but your shell script isn’t exiting and returning a nonzero exit code when an error is encountered on one of the lines Commented Feb 1, 2023 at 22:30
  • So, in very brief, change #!/bin/bash to #!/bin/bash -e or add set -e as the next line of the script. (The latter is somewhat more robust, in that it also works if you explicitly run the script with bash plan.sh instead of the otherwise required bash -e plan.sh. But you are simply running plan.sh so this point is moot here.) Commented Feb 2, 2023 at 6:10
