Load Build Variable

Continua CI takes a copy of the configuration, project and application variables (collectively known as server variables) at the start of each build. These copies are referred to as Build Variables. Any changes to server variables by other builds or by user edits are not reflected in the value of the build variable.

The Load Build Variable build event handler allows you to load the build variable with the current value of the corresponding server variable when specific events happen in the build timeline. 

Load Build Variable

Variable Name 

Select an existing variable. The drop down list will show all Configuration, Project and Application variables except for Expression variables which are read only.   

Persist On Build Event

Specify when to load the build variable by selecting one of the following Build Events:

• On Before Build Queued
• On Before Build Start
• On After Build Started
• On Before Stage Start
• On Sending Stage To Agent
• On Stage Completed
• On Build Pending Promotion
• On Before Build Continue
• On After Build Continued
• On Before Build Stage Requeued

 Some build events will allow you to specify the Stage or Build Status

Stage

For stage events you can choose the stage name or select "(all stages)"

Build Status

For completion events you can choose the status which triggers the build event handler. This can be Successful, Failed or Any.
