Description

It's probably pretty common for infrastructure to depend upon the output of whatever CodePipeline is building. Such as if CodePipeline is building a Docker image which will be used by an ECS service.

It would be nice if Terraform was able to not only build a pipeline, but also wait for the pipeline to complete an execution (at least upon creation), similar to the way an aws_autoscaling_group uses wait_for_capacity_timeout to wait for instances inside the ASG to spin up. This would allow us to use depends_on in other resources which might need to consume the Docker image or whatever one is building with CodePipeline. Preferably this would be user-configurable the way that wait_for_capacity_timeout is, where the user can specify a timeout to wait or they can disable waiting altogether.

Currently we accomplish this with aws codepipeline get-pipeline-execution hacky bash scripts run through a provisioner block, but it would be nice not to need those.

New or Affected Resource(s)

• aws_codepipeline

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "aws_codepipeline" "foo" {
  wait_for_succeeded_status = 600 # Wait up to 10 minutes for the initial pipeline execution to reach a status of 'Succeeded'
  ...
}

Or:

resource "aws_codepipeline" "foo" {
  wait_for_succeeded_status = 0 # Don't wait for the pipeline execution. This could maybe be the default.
  ...
}
