poll-for-jobs¶

Description¶

Returns information about any jobs for AWS CodePipeline to act on. PollForJobs is valid only for action types with “Custom” in the owner field. If the action type contains “AWS” or “ThirdParty” in the owner field, the PollForJobs action returns an error.

Warning

When this API is called, AWS CodePipeline returns temporary credentials for the S3 bucket used to store artifacts for the pipeline, if the action requires access to that S3 bucket for input or output artifacts. This API also returns any secret values defined for the action.

Synopsis¶

[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--action-type-id (structure)

Represents information about an action type.

category -> (string)

A category defines what kind of action can be taken in the stage, and constrains the provider type for the action. Valid categories are limited to one of the following values.

Source

Build

Test

Deploy

Invoke

Approval

owner -> (string)

The creator of the action being called. There are three valid values for the Owner field in the action category section within your pipeline structure: AWS , ThirdParty , and Custom . For more information, see Valid Action Types and Providers in CodePipeline .

provider -> (string)

The provider of the service being called by the action. Valid providers are determined by the action category. For example, an action in the Deploy category type might have a provider of AWS CodeDeploy, which would be specified as CodeDeploy. For more information, see Valid Action Types and Providers in CodePipeline .

version -> (string)

A string that describes the action version.

Shorthand Syntax:

category=string,owner=string,provider=string,version=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "category": "Source"|"Build"|"Deploy"|"Test"|"Invoke"|"Approval",
  "owner": "AWS"|"ThirdParty"|"Custom",
  "provider": "string",
  "version": "string"
}

--max-batch-size (integer)

The maximum number of jobs to return in a poll for jobs call.

--query-param (map)

A map of property names and values. For an action type with no queryable properties, this value must be null or an empty map. For an action type with a queryable property, you must supply that property as a key in the map. Only jobs whose action configuration matches the mapped value are returned.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

Shorthand Syntax:

KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string

JSON Syntax:

{"string": "string"
  ...}

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

To view any available jobs

This example returns information about any jobs for a job worker to act upon. This example uses a pre-defined JSON file (MyActionTypeInfo.json) to supply information about the action type for which the job worker processes jobs. This command is only used for custom actions. When this command is called, AWS CodePipeline returns temporary credentials for the Amazon S3 bucket used to store artifacts for the pipeline. This command will also return any secret values defined for the action, if any are defined.

Command:

aws codepipeline poll-for-jobs --cli-input-json file://MyActionTypeInfo.json
