Concourse resource is not used error message

I have a concourse pipeline that bumps a semver, publishes a release to a GitHub-release resource and publishes a message using a slack-notification resource. All is fine until I try to start using on_failure: and on_success: steps.

I moved the slack put to on_success without issue. But when I try to move the GitHub-release put to on_success set-pipeline returns the error:

resource 'github-release' is not used

I tried putting it in both on_failure and on_success but I still get the message.

Is there a way to only publish this release when the build is good?

Solution

  • The on_success and on_failure only run a single step of a pipeline. If you want to run multiple steps, you have to use one of the block steps, such as do or aggregate to accomplish this.

    For example:

    on_success:
  do:
    - put: slack-notification
    - put: github-release
