Due to inconsistencies between Windows and Linux handling of environment variables, these have been divided between environment variables that are set before calling an entry script to alter the behaviour of CDAF, and environment variables that are set within bash scripts to make them globally available.
Control Variables
The following environment variables are available to control the behaviour of CDAF
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| CDAF_BRANCH_NAME | Used by entry.ps1/entry.sh Override the branch name, primarily to test CI behaviour for non-default branch, i.e. main |
| CDAF_BUILD_ENV | Define the build environment, if not set, defaults will be used, see execution engine Build-time Variables for details |
| CDAF_DOCKER_REQUIRED | containerBuild will attempt to start Docker if not running and will fail if it cannot, rather than falling back to native execution |
| CDAF_DELIVERY | The default target environment for cdEmulate and entry, defaults are LINUX, or WINDOWS for on-domain or WORKGROUP for off-domain |
| CDAF_ERROR_DIAG | Dependency injected custom call if error occurs in Execution Engine |
| CDAF_HOME_MOUNT | to disable volume mount for containerDeploy set to ‘no’, note: this can be overridden a solution level, using CDAF_HOME_MOUNT as property |
| CDAF_IGNORE_WARNING | If messages are logged to standard error, the Execution Engine will log but not halt, however is this is set to yes, processing will halt yes or no, default is yes |
| CDAF_OVERRIDE_TOKEN | Default marker for DETOKN or PROPLD in Execution Engine is %, i.e. %key_name%, the markers can be changed using this environment variable |
| CDAF_SKIP_CONTAINER_BUILD | containerBuild will not be performed if this environment variable is set to any value |
| CONTAINER_IMAGE | Override containerImage in containerBuild & imageBuild |
| CDAF_CB_{variable_name} | Prefix used in containerBuild to supply local variables into the build time container |
| CDAF_CD_{variable_name} | Prefix used in containerDeploy to supply local variables into the deploy time container |
| CDAF_IB_{variable_name} | Prefix used in containerBuild to supply during image construction |
Global Variables
These variables are available to child scripts, custom scripts and task execution engine, see also Build-time Variables.
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| CDAF_CORE | CDAF helper script path |
| WORKSPACE_ROOT | Static for solution, WORKSPACE will change for project (build) or target (deploy) |
See also Build-time Variables.
Image Registry
These override Solution Properties properties. They are used to push the image created by dockerBuild to pull a base image from a private registry.
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| CDAF_SKIP_PULL | Skip updating of image |
| CDAF_PULL_REGISTRY_URL | Image registry URL, example myregistry.local (do not set for dockerhub) |
| CDAF_PULL_REGISTRY_USER | Registry user, example registryuser (if not set, default is ‘.’) |
| CDAF_PULL_REGISTRY_TOKEN | Registry token, example xyzx9234sxsrwcqw34 |
These override Solution Properties properties. They are used to push the image created by imageBuild to push to a private registry.
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| CDAF_REGISTRY_URL | Image registry URL, example myregistry.local (do not set for dockerhub) |
| CDAF_REGISTRY_TAG | Image tag(s), can being single value latest or list latest ${BUILDNUMBER} |
| CDAF_REGISTRY_USER | Registry user, example registryuser (if not set, default is ‘.’) |
| CDAF_REGISTRY_TOKEN | Registry token, example xyzx9234sxsrwcqw34 |
These override Solution Properties properties. They are used to push the image created by dockerPush to push to a private registry.
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| CDAF_PUSH_REGISTRY_URL | Image registry URL, example myregistry.local (do not set for dockerhub) |
| CDAF_PUSH_REGISTRY_TAG | Image tag(s), can being single value latest or list latest ${BUILDNUMBER} (default is latest) |
| CDAF_PUSH_REGISTRY_USER | Registry user, example registryuser (if not set, default is ‘.’) |
| CDAF_PUSH_REGISTRY_TOKEN | Registry token, example xyzx9234sxsrwcqw34 |
