Release Notes for Codefresh Pipelines and GitOps

Features & enhancements

Pipelines: New strict_fail_fast to control pipelines

You’re probably familiar with the fail_fast flag available for steps in Codefresh pipelines. The flag determines the pipeline’s behavior when there is a step failure. Accordingly, when set to false, the pipeline continues execution and returns a Build status of Build completed successfully. But what if you want to indicate that a step failed in the Build status even when the pipeline completes execution? Enter our new strict_fail_fast flag! Now, you can indicate that the step failed execution by simply adding strict_fail_fast to the step and setting it to true. After the pipeline completes execution, the Build status is designated as Failed.

step_name:
  type: git-clone
  title: Step Title
  description: Step description
  ...
  credentials:
    ...
  fail_fast: false
  strict_fail_fast: true
  when:
    branch:
      ignore: [ develop ]
  on_success:
    ...
  on_fail:
    ...
  on_finish:
    ...
  retry:
    ...  
  ...

For details, check out the Fields table in the documentation for the different step types, as in the git-clone step for example.

GitOps: Diff View for out-of-sync applications

We’re thrilled to introduce a significant enhancement simplifying troubleshooting Argo CD applications within Codefresh. With our new Diff View feature, you can instantly view the differences between the current state and the desired configuration of out-of-sync applications. The Diff View option displays all the updated resources within the application, allowing you to easily pinpoint changes and swiftly identify the root cause of the sync failure.

The option is always available in the application’s context menu in the GitOps Apps dashboard, and is enabled whenever the application is out-of-sync. If you have already selected an application, the Diff View option is available in the context menu at the top right of the page.

NOTE
Diff View for application resources is supported Runtime v1.0.38 and higher.
