Handle exit codes in scripts¶
Use tailor's exit codes to distinguish configuration problems from build failures in CI.
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
0 |
Success. |
1 |
Build or operational failure, such as an engine, IO, resolution, or signing error. |
2 |
Usage or configuration error, such as bad arguments, an invalid selector, an unknown image, or a dependency cycle. |
130 |
Interrupted run, such as Ctrl+C or SIGTERM cancellation (128 + SIGINT). |
Branch on $? after a failed command:
if tailor build gizmo; then
echo "build succeeded"
else
code=$?
case "$code" in
2)
echo "fix tailor.yaml or the build arguments"
;;
1)
echo "build failed; inspect the build log"
;;
130)
echo "build interrupted"
;;
esac
exit "$code"
fi
