Instead of defining job property in build spec, you may define property LAB in sidebar menu Settings / Build / Job Properties. Also define job executor in parent project as @property:LAB@-docker-executor. This way you can override the LAB property as necessary in child projects, without changing build spec.

Thank you for the replay. Using job property seems to be nice workaround. But having LAB as param (of emum type) allows me to make deployments to multiple labs at once. Maybe I could get this job property via groovy script and use it as build param?

I am confused. Seems that you are specifying choice values of LAB param to be a groovy script. You also want to read the LAB property in the groovy script. But choice values are expecting an array, while LAB property is a single value...

I was planning to read LAB property as a string with comma separated lab names, and return it splitted as an array from the script.

Try below groovy script:

import io.onedev.server.model.Project

def labs = Project.get().getHierarchyJobProperties().find { it.name == 'LAB' }?.value
return labs ? labs.split(/\s*,\s*/).toList() : []

Property 'LAB' needs to be defined in project build settings taking comma separated values.

Thanks for the tips. I will try to make it working for me. Closing the question for now.

I was too fast with closing. I tried your snippet and got NPE. It looks like Project.get() returned null:

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Error evaluating groovy script:

Works at my side. Can you please create sample projects at this site demonstrating the issue?

I can try, but I don't have access to page where scripts are defined. Maybe you could temporarily add this sample script you mentioned earlier, and I will use it in my sample project.

Added script GetLabs

Ok, I think I set it up correctly. Project is toomyem/test. Deploy buildspec is defined in parent project (toomyem), and imported in child (test). There is a trigger in parent which should run deploy on change in child. But when I commit a change in test, there is no new build. Probably because of the problem with null on Project.get(), but I do not have access to logs on this system to confirm that. But this is happening on mine system.

Thanks for demonstrating the issue. I ran the build from UI instead of pushing commit. The script currently can not access project object in that case. I filed an improvement request OD-2674, and close this now.
