hook Stanza

The hook stanza configures hooks that are executed before or after operations. This can be useful to do things such as perform a security scan on an image, run database migrations on a deploy, etc.

Multiple hook stanzas can be specified. This will execute multiple hooks for an operation. The behavior with multiple hooks is documented on the hooks lifecycle page.

app "frontend" {
  build {
    # ...

    hook {
      when    = "before"
      command = ["./validate-creds.sh"]
    }
  }

  # ...
}

hook Parameters

Required

• when (string) - When the hook should be executed. Either "before" or "after".

• command (array<string>) - The command to execute. The first element of the list is the command to execute and each remainder is an argument. By specifying this as a list of strings, you do not need to worry about escaping arguments.

Optional

• on_failure (string: "fail") - Behavior when the hook fails. If this is "continue" then failures are ignored. Otherwise, a failure cases the entire operation to fail. See failure behavior.
