Build fail success environment variable

Question

I was hoping to know if there is a way to run a particular script, if and only if the build is successful. So if the build fails the script doesn't run.

Please and thank you.

You have several options.

• Easiest: you have a free-style software project -- just create an addition build step at the end of your build. The step will not be executed if one of your previous step fails. I don't know how it behaves if your build is unstable.

• Also easy: You have a Maven project: create a post build step (Steps to run after mvn build). You have the options to let these post build steps run on successful, successful + unstable, or always.

• Create another job for your script and trigger it with the parametrized trigger plugin. This plugin gives you the most flexibility.

Hope that helps.
