Add extra information of your AWS CodeBuild build via environment variables.

How does buildspec.yml use the added variables?

Feature request:

Can you enhance your buildspec.yml example so that it uses the newly added environment variables in subsequent stages?

Get label text

Is there a possibility to get label content? e.g marking a PR with a label and merging into branch. I would like to get label text.

Extra environment variables not available to top-level build environment

The current installation method of spawning a child shell with
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thii/aws-codebuild-extras/master/install)"
does not work for making the extra env vars available to the main CodeBuild Container's environment.

Good informative systeme

CODEBUILD_PULL_REQUEST always equals false

This seemed to be working a couple of weeks ago but CODEBUILD_PULL_REQUEST always seems to be false for me now.

Any chance to get working with CodePipeline?

The variables are empty when i use the .sh file.

I obtain this error:

fatal: not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /codebuild)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

Thanks for this project

No git repo with CodePipeline

When using CodePipeline as "Source provider" for CodeBuild, there's no git repo on the build instance. Therefore, none of this works :-( .

These is very new to me, can you help to use these variable in lambda function

suggestion to fork, as a security precaution?

Excellent library, thank you for making the Github branch name available inside CodeBuild! As was noted on a StackOverflow answer, it's potentially dangerous to run curl to obtain the install script in this repo, due to the non-zero chances of an account breach. What do you think about giving mention to that concern in the README, along with a suggestion to fork the repo, so that folks who still want this solution can do so by accessing it from their own repos?

CODEBUILD_ env variables are reserved for internal use

The Build Specification Reference for AWS CodeBuild states:

Do not set any environment variable with a name that begins with CODEBUILD_. This prefix is reserved for internal use.

Choose a different prefix for the added env variables?

CODEBUILD_GIT_BRANCH sometimes mis-identified

I ran into a scenario where the CODEBUILD_GIT_BRANCH was mis-identified.

A commit to main triggered a build, and a very quick commit to another branch followed. When CodePipeline and CodeBuild ran and sourced the install script, the CODEBUILD_GIT_BRANCH identified was the branch of the subsequent commit.

I am not a git expert, please bear with the rest of the issue :-)

export CODEBUILD_GIT_BRANCH="$(git symbolic-ref HEAD --short 2>/dev/null)"
if [ "$CODEBUILD_GIT_BRANCH" = "" ] ; then
  CODEBUILD_GIT_BRANCH="$(git branch -a --contains HEAD | sed -n 2p | awk '{ printf $1 }')";
  export CODEBUILD_GIT_BRANCH=${CODEBUILD_GIT_BRANCH#remotes/origin/};
fi

In this pipeline run, I downloaded the output zip artifact (which has the .git directory) and ran some commands...

$ git symbolic-ref HEAD
fatal: ref HEAD is not a symbolic ref

So the second method is used

$ git branch -a --contains HEAD
* (no branch)
  bug/4762
  master
  remotes/origin/bug/4762
  remotes/origin/master

The commit was to master, and I think a command like the following (thank you, https://stackoverflow.com/a/52947601/1661089) might have worked better

$ git rev-parse HEAD | xargs git name-rev | cut -d' ' -f2 | sed 's/remotes\/origin\///g'
master

Most variable empty when building with Git clone depth 1

Thanks for your script 🙇‍♂️ . Makes working with codebuild more bearable.

When building with Git clone depth set to 1, most of the variables like commit hash, branch etc are empty. If building with clone depth set to some other value, everything works fine.

I think it's worth mentioning it in the readme.

CodeBuild doesn't store .git metadata, how do you suggest dealing with that?

hello @thii thanks for your script. It looks great. I was wondering though, CodeBuild is famous for not storing the .git directory which your script is dependent upon to work. How do you deal with that?
