Overview

The Spinnaker pipeline expression language is based on Spring Expression Language (SpEL).

The pipeline expressions are resolved by default in Kubernetes manifests specified as text.

Accessing Pipeline Element State

A Tag set by a Trigger

The tag set by a trigger can be accessed with the following expression:

- image: "something/something-else:${trigger['tag']}"

The example above did not work last time I tried it to use it in an artifact specification, but this did:

"helm.com/something/something-else-${execution.trigger.parameters.tag}.tgz"

For an example where this works see: Pipeline parameters.

The Judgment Value set by a Manual Judgment Stage

The value selected by a specific Manual Judgment option can be accessed by subsequent stages with the following expression:

${execution.stages.?[name == '<stage-name>' ][0].context.judgmentInput}

The expression can be used in the "Conditional on Expression" clause of subsequent stages as follows:

${execution.stages.?[name == '<stage-name>' ][0].context.judgmentInput == '<option-value>'}

where stage-name should be replaced with the actual name of the Manual Judgment stage and <option-value> with the actual option value using the same capitalization.

An alternative to get the selected option value is to use the ${#judgment() function. Did not manage to make it work, more experimentation is necessary. For more details see:

https://spinnaker.io/docs/reference/pipeline/expressions/#judgmentstring

${#judgment("<stage-name>")}

The Kind and Name of a Manifest Deployed by a Deployment Stage

${execution.stages.?[name == 'Deploy in Prod'][0].artifacts.reference}

Access an Output Produced by a Run Job (Manifest)

The output name is "replicas":

${ execution.stages.?[ name == 'Script Job' ][0].outputs.replicas }
