Starts a build with the specified configuration. This method returns a long-running Operation, which includes the build ID. Pass the build ID to GetBuild to determine the build status (such as SUCCESS or FAILURE).

Scopes

You will need authorization for the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform scope to make a valid call.

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform. You can set the scope for this method like this: cloudbuild1 --scope <scope> projects locations-builds-create ...

Required Scalar Argument

• <parent> (string)
  • The parent resource where this build will be created. Format: projects/{project}/locations/{location}

• -r .approval.config approval-required=false

  • Whether or not approval is needed. If this is set on a build, it will become pending when created, and will need to be explicitly approved to start.

• ..result approval-time=aliquyam

  • Output only. The time when the approval decision was made.
• approver-account=eos
  • Output only. Email of the user that called the ApproveBuild API to approve or reject a build at the time that the API was called.

  • Optional. An optional comment for this manual approval result.
• decision=dolores
  • Required. The decision of this manual approval.

• url=consetetur

  • Optional. An optional URL tied to this manual approval result. This field is essentially the same as comment, except that it will be rendered by the UI differently. An example use case is a link to an external job that approved this Build.

• .. state=gubergren

  • Output only. The state of this build's approval.

• ..artifacts images=dolor

  • A list of images to be pushed upon the successful completion of all build steps. The images will be pushed using the builder service account's credentials. The digests of the pushed images will be stored in the Build resource's results field. If any of the images fail to be pushed, the build is marked FAILURE.
  • Each invocation of this argument appends the given value to the array.
• objects location=aliquyam
  • Cloud Storage bucket and optional object path, in the form "gs://bucket/path/to/somewhere/". (see Bucket Name Requirements). Files in the workspace matching any path pattern will be uploaded to Cloud Storage with this location as a prefix.
• paths=no

• id=sit
  • Output only. Unique identifier of the build.
• images=duo
  • A list of images to be pushed upon the successful completion of all build steps. The images are pushed using the builder service account's credentials. The digests of the pushed images will be stored in the Build resource's results field. If any of the images fail to be pushed, the build status is marked FAILURE.

• default-logs-bucket-behavior=dolor
  • Optional. Option to specify how default logs buckets are setup.

• env=amet.
  • A list of global environment variable definitions that will exist for all build steps in this build. If a variable is defined in both globally and in a build step, the variable will use the build step value. The elements are of the form "KEY=VALUE" for the environment variable "KEY" being given the value "VALUE".
  • Each invocation of this argument appends the given value to the array.
• log-streaming-option=no
  • Option to define build log streaming behavior to Cloud Storage.
• logging=nonumy
  • Option to specify the logging mode, which determines if and where build logs are stored.

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

• The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
• The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
• You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
• You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

• -o out
  • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.
