Custom Scripts / Conditional Intervention

Legacy Uncategorised

Hello,

I’ve got a couple of questions around the deployment process.

  1. Is it possible to only run a certain step if a condition is matched? Maybe using a custom script, powershell/C# or something?
  2. Similar to above can we send emails based on a condition other than success/failure of deployment?
  3. Can i write a custom “Step” (plugin?)

How it works right now: we build a .nupkg using TC, this package might contain *.sql files. It is based on this condition that we want to be able to pause a deployment and run some custom steps.

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out. Let me try to help with those questions:

1) Is it possible to only run a certain step if a condition is matched? Maybe using a custom script, powershell/C# or something?

Its not possible and there’s a uservoice sugestion to add support to this: https://octopusdeploy.uservoice.com/forums/170787-general/suggestions/6594872-allow-the-run-condition-of-a-step-to-be-based-on-a . Though you cannot prevent the step from running, you could easily write an If/else statement in a Powershell Script step.

2) Similar to above can we send emails based on a condition other than success/failure of deployment?

I’m afraid its not possible until the above Uservoice suggestion gets implemented.

3) Can i write a custom “Step” (plugin?)

Yes: http://docs.octopusdeploy.com/display/OD/Step+Templates

Best regards,
Dalmiro
