How to get the results (succeeded or failed) of previous stages/jobs in a pipeline of GitLab CI?

Question

In one pipeline there are multiple stages. How can I get the results (succeeded or failed) of previous stages/jobs in the last stage/job of a pipeline?

Answer 1

One way is to use the gitlab-ci job api to find the status from its response; However, depending on your use case; you can also use CI_JOB_STATUS in the 'after_script` of the same job.

You can use a custom variable as a flag, that you can set in the after script of the same job based on CI_JOB_STATUS.

Note: CI_JOB_STATUS can be success, failed, or canceled
