vcs message is using git.branch / commit from default params. to publish messages to bitbucket

[ebo-bpi]

vcs notification seems to use values from git.* variables. if a workflow is trigger by a workflow hook or via a webhook (not the repository webhook) these values are incorrect (by default)
is there a way to override the git.* variables other than using a repository webhook?
would be nice to set them from a script, or have the input parameters for a vcs message available.

Hi, no, it's not possible to override them if it's not triggered by a repository webhook.

But, you can use the 'build variable', generated with https://ovh.github.io/cds/docs/components/worker/export/, then use them in you VCS Notification.
You can also use the default helper, see https://ovh.github.io/cds/docs/concepts/variables/

Hi, thanks for the quick reaction!
I do understand the use of variables (pretty nice by the way!) , but I don't get how to use this in the vcs message.
I'm talking about the message sent to bitbucket (status update / pr comment), not about an email.
How can I do that?

Example in your job:

#!/bin/bash
set -ex
make build | tee build.log
BUILD_LOG=$(cat build.log | tail -n 200 | base64)
worker export logcontent "$BUILD_LOG"

Example in your notification (markdown enabled):

Logs from the build:
{{.cds.build.logcontent | b64dec}}
