Description

Starts running a build.

Parameters

-ArtifactsOverride_ArtifactIdentifier <String>
An identifier for this artifact definition.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ArtifactsOverride_EncryptionDisabled <Boolean>
Set to true if you do not want your output artifacts encrypted. This option is valid only if your artifacts type is Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). If this is set with another artifacts type, an invalidInputException is thrown.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ArtifactsOverride_Location <String>
Information about the build output artifact location:
  • If type is set to CODEPIPELINE, AWS CodePipeline ignores this value if specified. This is because AWS CodePipeline manages its build output locations instead of AWS CodeBuild.
  • If type is set to NO_ARTIFACTS, this value is ignored if specified, because no build output is produced.
  • If type is set to S3, this is the name of the output bucket.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ArtifactsOverride_Name <String>
Along with path and namespaceType, the pattern that AWS CodeBuild uses to name and store the output artifact:
  • If type is set to CODEPIPELINE, AWS CodePipeline ignores this value if specified. This is because AWS CodePipeline manages its build output names instead of AWS CodeBuild.
  • If type is set to NO_ARTIFACTS, this value is ignored if specified, because no build output is produced.
  • If type is set to S3, this is the name of the output artifact object. If you set the name to be a forward slash ("/"), the artifact is stored in the root of the output bucket.
For example:
  • If path is set to MyArtifacts, namespaceType is set to BUILD_ID, and name is set to MyArtifact.zip, then the output artifact is stored in MyArtifacts/build-ID/MyArtifact.zip.
  • If path is empty, namespaceType is set to NONE, and name is set to "/", the output artifact is stored in the root of the output bucket.
  • If path is set to MyArtifacts, namespaceType is set to BUILD_ID, and name is set to "/", the output artifact is stored in MyArtifacts/build-ID.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ArtifactsOverride_NamespaceType <ArtifactNamespace>
Along with path and name, the pattern that AWS CodeBuild uses to determine the name and location to store the output artifact:
  • If type is set to CODEPIPELINE, AWS CodePipeline ignores this value if specified. This is because AWS CodePipeline manages its build output names instead of AWS CodeBuild.
  • If type is set to NO_ARTIFACTS, this value is ignored if specified, because no build output is produced.
  • If type is set to S3, valid values include:
    • BUILD_ID: Include the build ID in the location of the build output artifact.
    • NONE: Do not include the build ID. This is the default if namespaceType is not specified.
For example, if path is set to MyArtifacts, namespaceType is set to BUILD_ID, and name is set to MyArtifact.zip, the output artifact is stored in MyArtifacts/build-ID/MyArtifact.zip.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ArtifactsOverride_OverrideArtifactName <Boolean>
If this flag is set, a name specified in the build spec file overrides the artifact name. The name specified in a build spec file is calculated at build time and uses the Shell Command Language. For example, you can append a date and time to your artifact name so that it is always unique.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ArtifactsOverride_Packaging <ArtifactPackaging>
The type of build output artifact to create:
  • If type is set to CODEPIPELINE, AWS CodePipeline ignores this value if specified. This is because AWS CodePipeline manages its build output artifacts instead of AWS CodeBuild.
  • If type is set to NO_ARTIFACTS, this value is ignored if specified, because no build output is produced.
  • If type is set to S3, valid values include:
    • NONE: AWS CodeBuild creates in the output bucket a folder that contains the build output. This is the default if packaging is not specified.
    • ZIP: AWS CodeBuild creates in the output bucket a ZIP file that contains the build output.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ArtifactsOverride_Path <String>
Along with namespaceType and name, the pattern that AWS CodeBuild uses to name and store the output artifact:
  • If type is set to CODEPIPELINE, AWS CodePipeline ignores this value if specified. This is because AWS CodePipeline manages its build output names instead of AWS CodeBuild.
  • If type is set to NO_ARTIFACTS, this value is ignored if specified, because no build output is produced.
  • If type is set to S3, this is the path to the output artifact. If path is not specified, path is not used.
For example, if path is set to MyArtifacts, namespaceType is set to NONE, and name is set to MyArtifact.zip, the output artifact is stored in the output bucket at MyArtifacts/MyArtifact.zip.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ArtifactsOverride_Type <ArtifactsType>
The type of build output artifact. Valid values include:
  • CODEPIPELINE: The build project has build output generated through AWS CodePipeline. The CODEPIPELINE type is not supported for secondaryArtifacts.
  • NO_ARTIFACTS: The build project does not produce any build output.
  • S3: The build project stores build output in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-BuildspecOverride <String>
A build spec declaration that overrides, for this build only, the latest one already defined in the build project.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-CacheOverride_Location <String>
Information about the cache location:
  • NO_CACHE or LOCAL: This value is ignored.
  • S3: This is the S3 bucket name/prefix.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-CacheOverride_Mode <String[]>
If you use a LOCAL cache, the local cache mode. You can use one or more local cache modes at the same time.
  • LOCAL_SOURCE_CACHE mode caches Git metadata for primary and secondary sources. After the cache is created, subsequent builds pull only the change between commits. This mode is a good choice for projects with a clean working directory and a source that is a large Git repository. If you choose this option and your project does not use a Git repository (GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, or Bitbucket), the option is ignored.
  • LOCAL_DOCKER_LAYER_CACHE mode caches existing Docker layers. This mode is a good choice for projects that build or pull large Docker images. It can prevent the performance issues caused by pulling large Docker images down from the network.
    • You can use a Docker layer cache in the Linux environment only.
    • The privileged flag must be set so that your project has the required Docker permissions.
    • You should consider the security implications before you use a Docker layer cache.
  • LOCAL_CUSTOM_CACHE mode caches directories you specify in the buildspec file. This mode is a good choice if your build scenario is not suited to one of the other three local cache modes. If you use a custom cache:
    • Only directories can be specified for caching. You cannot specify individual files.
    • Symlinks are used to reference cached directories.
    • Cached directories are linked to your build before it downloads its project sources. Cached items are overridden if a source item has the same name. Directories are specified using cache paths in the buildspec file.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesCacheOverride_Modes
-CacheOverride_Type <CacheType>
The type of cache used by the build project. Valid values include:
