How can I get a job to fail when a regex does not matches the output?

[Sahil Minocha]

Hi,

I am using Conditional Steps(Multiple) and Steps to run if condition is met.

I have a scenario to fail the build if an expression is not found in the Console Output.

What I am able to achieve is, I can change the build output when an expression matches using Text FInder, however I need to do the vice-a-versa.

I need to abort/fail the build if the regex does not matches the output.

For example, if the condition is not met, Jenkins says:

Checking console output
Run condition [Text Finder] preventing perform for step [BuilderChain]
Finished: SUCCESS

Whereas, if this "Run condition [Text Finder] preventing perform for step [BuilderChain]" arrives, I need to abort/fail the  build.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Sahil.

You can create a file if the condition was met (e.g. file "condition_x_matched"). Then add a Execute shell step and chaeck for the existance of the file. If the file does not exist - fail the build e.g. by doing `exit 1`.

Hi Nux,

Thanks for the reply. This logic worked for me.

Though I might not rely on Files/IO for the job output, however I have used the same approach with System variables and worked fine for me.

For best output, I would still be seeking if there is any plugin which permits the else condition as well.

Regards,

Sahil
