The "Relay Race" Pattern: Syncing Gradle Builds with Ansible in Tekton In a modern CI/CD pipeline, passing a dynamic build number from a Gradle build to an Ansible deployment is like a relay race. The "baton" is your version string (e.g., 1.2.345 ), and if it’s dropped between the build stage and the deploy stage, the whole race stops. Since you are running this inside Tekton , you have a structured way to hand off this data. Here is the architectural "story" of how to bridge that gap. Step 1: The Producer (Gradle) First, your Gradle build needs to "vocalize" the version it just created. Since your RPM task already knows the ${version} , we add a small helper task to write that specific string to a dedicated file in the workspace. In your build.gradle : // Create a simple task to 'announce' the version task exportBuildMetadata { doLast { def versionFile = new File ( projectDir , "build_metadata.txt" ) versionFile . text = project . version . toString () println ">>> Exported Version: $
