Triggering a Run Manually
You can trigger a run of any step through the pipeline visualization. To manually run the entire pipeline, trigger the first step in the workflow.
With default configuration
To manually trigger a step:
- Click on the step. This will display the information box for that step.
- In the step's information box, click the "Trigger this step" button.
The step will execute, and its successful completion will trigger the subsequent steps of the pipeline. The record of the run is logged in the pipeline history.
With custom configuration
You can trigger a run of any step and provide a set of custom settings to test a specific set of conditions.
To manually trigger a step with custom settings:
- Click on the step. This will display the information box for that step.
- In the step's information box, click the "Trigger this step with custom configuration" button.
- In the resulting Run with custom configuration dialog, you can override the configuration settings, then click Confirm.
The step will execute with the custom settings, and its successful completion will trigger the subsequent steps of the pipeline. The record of the run is logged in the pipeline history.
Viewing Step Execution
You can view the shell commands issued as the step is executing.
To view real-time execution of a step:
- Trigger the step to execute.
- While the step executes, click on the step. This will display the information box for that step.
- In the information box, click "View Logs".
- This will call up the step log view, where you can see the shell commands issued by the step as they are executed.
Cancelling a Run
You can cancel execution of a run in progress by cancelling execution of a step.
To cancel a step:
- While the step executes, click on the step. This will display the information box for that step.
- In the information box, click the "Cancel This Step" button.
The step will cancel execution, and subsequent dependent steps of the pipeline will be skipped. The record of the run is logged in the pipeline history.
