Step 6: Run the build

To run the build

1. Use the Amazon CLI to run the start-build command:

   aws codebuild start-build --project-name project-name

   Replace project-name with your build project name from the previous step (for example, codebuild-demo-project).

2. If successful, data similar to the following appears in the output:

   {
     "build": { 
       "buildComplete": false,
       "initiator": "user-name",   
       "artifacts": { 
         "location": "arn:aws:s3:::codebuild-region-ID-account-ID-output-bucket/message-util.zip"
       },
       "projectName": "codebuild-demo-project",
       "timeoutInMinutes": 60, 
       "buildStatus": "IN_PROGRESS",
       "environment": {
         "computeType": "BUILD_GENERAL1_SMALL",
         "image": "aws/codebuild/standard:4.0",
         "type": "LINUX_CONTAINER",
         "environmentVariables": []
       },
       "source": {
         "type": "S3",
         "location": "codebuild-region-ID-account-ID-input-bucket/MessageUtil.zip"
       },
       "currentPhase": "SUBMITTED",
       "startTime": 1472848787.882,
       "id": "codebuild-demo-project:0cfbb6ec-3db9-4e8c-992b-1ab28EXAMPLE",
       "arn": "arn:aws:codebuild:region-ID:account-ID:build/codebuild-demo-project:0cfbb6ec-3db9-4e8c-992b-1ab28EXAMPLE"    
     }
   }

   • build represents information about this build.

     • buildComplete represents whether the build was completed (true). Otherwise, false.

     • initiator represents the entity that started the build.

     • artifacts represents information about the build output, including its location.

     • projectName represents the name of the build project.

     • buildStatus represents the current build status when the start-build command was run.

     • currentPhase represents the current build phase when the start-build command was run.

     • startTime represents the time, in Unix time format, when the build process started.

     • id represents the ID of the build.

     • arn represents the ARN of the build.

   Make a note of the id value. You need it in the next step.
