build-waiter

The docker image codeship/build-waiter can be used to wait for outstanding builds on the current branch to be completed before resuming the current build.

Usage

Add the build-waiter service to your codeship-services.yml:

app:
  build:
    dockerfile_path: Dockerfile
waiter:
  image: codeship/build-waiter
  encrypted_env_file: waitercfg.encrypted

Add the a step to your codeship-steps.yml to call the build-waiter in the approprate spot:

- service: waiter
  command: build-waiter
  tag: ^master$
- service: app
  command: sleep 300
- service: app
  command: printenv

To only have the waiter wait on certain branches you can add use a tag directive. In our above example, the waiter would only be present for master branches.

Add waitercfg.encrypted file containing the following environment variables:

CODESHIP_USERNAME=user@codeship.com
CODESHIP_PASSWORD=password123
CODESHIP_ORGANIZATION=acme

Note that the CODESHIP_ORGANIZATION should contain the organization the project resides in.
