deployment - Jenkins build passes when ssh deploy fails -

i'm using here tag in jenkins build step send deploy commands on ssh, , unfortunately build passing when commands inside here tag don't finish successfully: ssh user@host <<eof cd /path/to/app git pull bower install npm install grunt build cp -r /path/to/app/dist/* /path/to/dist/ forever restartall exit eof

is there better way approach problem?

you not catching error codes inside "here document".
last command exit , without exit code, default 0 success.
since last command of ssh success, whole command treated success, , build success.

easiest way fix that: chain commands && so:
cd /path/to/app && git pull && bower install && npm install && grunt build && cp -r /path/to/app/dist/* /path/to/dist/ && forever restartall && exit

best way fix that: write proper shell script, with error handling, , execute that. if lazy error handle every line, can start script set -e fail shell script on individual error

edit:

#!/bin/bash apppath="/path/to/app" distpath"/path/to/dist"  echo "my great deployment script" echo "deploying ${apppath} ${distpath}  if [[ ! -w "${apppath}" ]];     echo "${apppath} not writable, quitting"     exit 1 else     cd ${apppath} && git pull || { echo "failed on 'git pull'"; exit 2; }     bower install || { echo "failed on 'bower install'"; exit 3; }     npm install || { echo "failed on 'npm install'"; exit 4; }     grunt build || { echo "failed on 'grunt build'"; exit 5; }      if [[ -w "${distpath}" ]];         cp -r ${apppath}/dist/* ${distpath}/ || { echo "failed on 'copy'"; exit 1 }                 forever restartall || { echo "failed on 'forever restartall'"; exit 6 }          echo "deployment successful"         exit 0     fi fi 

you execute with: ssh user@host 'bash -s' < myfile.sh (if file local)
or if place file remotely, just: ssh user@host '/path/to/remote/myfile.sh'
