100 Days of Devops day 81 Jenkins Multistage pipeline checker issue

[thisal]

Hey team,

The checker is expecting a random string every retry — that’s the problem. First time ‘x2pak7d5ycaa’, then different ones each time. But the task just wants “Welcome to xFusionCorp Industries” on the load balancer, and it is showing exactly that.

I tried 4 times:

• index.html updated correctly
• Pipeline deploys to /var/www/html
• curl test passes
• Build says SUCCESS
• Page looks perfect

Still fails because of the random string check.

Can you please check it?

Thanks!
Thisal

The requirements of the task have changed.

Add App Server 1 as a Jenkins agent (slave) node: name App Server 1 , label stapp01 , remote root directory /home/sarah/jenkins_agent , launch via SSH with host stapp01 and credentials for user sarah . Install java-17-openjdk on App Server 1 if needed.

I have the same issue, do anyone have a proper solution??

The task specifically asks for the content to be “Welcome to xFusionCorp Industries”.
If the validator changes the Gitea repo to a random string, and your Test stage is hardcoded to look for “Welcome to xFusionCorp Industries”, the grep command will fail every time.

To pass a validator that changes the source code, your Test stage shouldn’t look for a hardcoded string. Instead, it should compare what is on the website to what is in the local repository.

Update the Pipeline script to this “Dynamic” version:

pipeline {
    agent { label 'stapp01' }
    
    stages {
        stage('Deploy') {
            steps {
                script {
                    def giteaUrl = "http://sarah:Sarah_pass123@gitea:3000/sarah/web.git"
                    sh """
                        # 1. Ownership & Safety
                        echo 'Sarah_pass123' | sudo -S chown -R sarah:sarah /var/www/html
                        git config --global --add safe.directory /var/www/html
                        
                        # 2. Sync with Gitea
                        cd /var/www/html
                        git remote set-url origin ${giteaUrl}
                        git fetch origin master
                        git reset --hard origin/master
                        
                        # 3. Permissions for Web Server
                        echo 'Sarah_pass123' | sudo -S chmod -R 755 /var/www/html
                    """
                }
            }
        }
        
        stage('Test') {
            steps {
                script {
                    // DYNAMIC TEST: Compare the website content to the file on disk
                    // If they match, the deployment was successful regardless of the text
                    sh """
                        # Get content from the Load Balancer
                        WEB_CONTENT=\$(curl -sL http://stlb01:8091)

                        echo "Web says: \$WEB_CONTENT"
                        echo "File says: \$FILE_CONTENT"

I really appreciate the explanation! Using a dynamic check instead of a hardcoded string solved it. Task complete!

Glad that it helped.
