GetPrebuild

prebuilds.retrieve(PrebuildRetrieveParams**kwargs) -> PrebuildRetrieveResponse
POST/gitpod.v1.PrebuildService/GetPrebuild

Gets details about a specific prebuild.

Use this method to:

  • Check prebuild status and progress
  • Access prebuild logs for debugging

Examples

  • Get prebuild details:

    Retrieves comprehensive information about a prebuild.

    prebuildId: "07e03a28-65a5-4d98-b532-8ea67b188048"
ParametersExpand Collapse
prebuild_id: str

prebuild_id specifies the prebuild to retrieve

formatuuid
ReturnsExpand Collapse
class PrebuildRetrieveResponse: …
prebuild: Prebuild

Prebuild represents a prebuild for a project that creates a snapshot for faster environment startup times.

metadata: PrebuildMetadata

metadata contains organizational and ownership information

created_at: datetime

created_at is when the prebuild was created

formatdate-time
creator: Subject

creator is the identity of who created the prebuild. For manual prebuilds, this is the user who triggered it. For scheduled prebuilds, this is the configured executor.

id: Optional[str]

id is the UUID of the subject

formatuuid
principal: Optional[Principal]

Principal is the principal of the subject

One of the following:
"PRINCIPAL_UNSPECIFIED"
"PRINCIPAL_ACCOUNT"
"PRINCIPAL_USER"
"PRINCIPAL_RUNNER"
"PRINCIPAL_ENVIRONMENT"
"PRINCIPAL_SERVICE_ACCOUNT"
"PRINCIPAL_RUNNER_MANAGER"
updated_at: datetime

updated_at is when the prebuild was last updated

formatdate-time
environment_class_id: Optional[str]

environment_class_id is the environment class used to create this prebuild. While the prebuild is created with a specific environment class, environments with different classes (e.g., smaller or larger instance sizes) can be created from the same prebuild, as long as they run on the same runner. If not specified in create requests, uses the project’s default environment class.

formatuuid
executor: Optional[Subject]

executor is the identity used to run the prebuild. The executor’s SCM credentials are used to clone the repository. If not set, the creator’s identity is used.

id: Optional[str]

id is the UUID of the subject

formatuuid
principal: Optional[Principal]

Principal is the principal of the subject

One of the following:
"PRINCIPAL_UNSPECIFIED"
"PRINCIPAL_ACCOUNT"
"PRINCIPAL_USER"
"PRINCIPAL_RUNNER"
"PRINCIPAL_ENVIRONMENT"
"PRINCIPAL_SERVICE_ACCOUNT"
"PRINCIPAL_RUNNER_MANAGER"
organization_id: Optional[str]

organization_id is the ID of the organization that owns the prebuild

formatuuid
project_id: Optional[str]

project_id is the ID of the project this prebuild was created for

formatuuid
triggered_by: Optional[PrebuildTrigger]

trigger describes the trigger that created this prebuild.

One of the following:
"PREBUILD_TRIGGER_UNSPECIFIED"
"PREBUILD_TRIGGER_MANUAL"
"PREBUILD_TRIGGER_SCHEDULED"
spec: PrebuildSpec

spec contains the configuration used to create this prebuild

desired_phase: Optional[PrebuildPhase]

desired_phase is the desired phase of the prebuild. Used to signal cancellation or other state changes. This field is managed by the API and reconciler.

One of the following:
"PREBUILD_PHASE_UNSPECIFIED"
"PREBUILD_PHASE_PENDING"
"PREBUILD_PHASE_STARTING"
"PREBUILD_PHASE_RUNNING"
"PREBUILD_PHASE_STOPPING"
"PREBUILD_PHASE_SNAPSHOTTING"
"PREBUILD_PHASE_COMPLETED"
"PREBUILD_PHASE_FAILED"
"PREBUILD_PHASE_CANCELLING"
"PREBUILD_PHASE_CANCELLED"
"PREBUILD_PHASE_DELETING"
"PREBUILD_PHASE_DELETED"
spec_version: Optional[str]

spec_version is incremented each time the spec is updated. Used for optimistic concurrency control.

timeout: Optional[str]

timeout is the maximum time allowed for the prebuild to complete. Defaults to 60 minutes if not specified. Maximum allowed timeout is 2 hours.

formatregex
status: PrebuildStatus

status contains the current status and progress of the prebuild

phase: PrebuildPhase

phase is the current phase of the prebuild lifecycle

One of the following:
"PREBUILD_PHASE_UNSPECIFIED"
"PREBUILD_PHASE_PENDING"
"PREBUILD_PHASE_STARTING"
"PREBUILD_PHASE_RUNNING"
"PREBUILD_PHASE_STOPPING"
"PREBUILD_PHASE_SNAPSHOTTING"
"PREBUILD_PHASE_COMPLETED"
"PREBUILD_PHASE_FAILED"
"PREBUILD_PHASE_CANCELLING"
"PREBUILD_PHASE_CANCELLED"
"PREBUILD_PHASE_DELETING"
"PREBUILD_PHASE_DELETED"
completion_time: Optional[datetime]

completion_time is when the prebuild completed (successfully or with failure)

formatdate-time
environment_id: Optional[str]

environment_id is the ID of the environment used to create this prebuild. This field is set when the prebuild environment is created.

formatuuid
failure_message: Optional[str]

failure_message contains details about why the prebuild failed

log_url: Optional[str]

log_url provides access to prebuild logs. During prebuild execution, this references the environment logs. After completion, this may reference archived logs.

formaturi
snapshot_completion_percentage: Optional[int]

snapshot_completion_percentage is the progress of snapshot creation (0-100). Only populated when phase is SNAPSHOTTING and progress is available from the cloud provider. This value may update infrequently or remain at 0 depending on the provider.

formatint32
maximum100
snapshot_size_bytes: Optional[str]

snapshot_size_bytes is the size of the snapshot in bytes. Only populated when the snapshot is available (phase is COMPLETED).

status_version: Optional[str]

status_version is incremented each time the status is updated. Used for optimistic concurrency control.

warning_message: Optional[str]

warning_message contains warnings from the prebuild environment that indicate something went wrong but the prebuild could still complete. For example, the devcontainer failed to build but the environment is still usable. These warnings will likely affect any environment started from this prebuild.

id: Optional[str]

id is the unique identifier for the prebuild

formatuuid
