GetPrebuild

client.prebuilds.retrieve(PrebuildRetrieveParams { prebuildId } body, RequestOptionsoptions?): PrebuildRetrieveResponse { prebuild }
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
body: PrebuildRetrieveParams { prebuildId }
prebuildId: string

prebuild_id specifies the prebuild to retrieve

formatuuid
ReturnsExpand Collapse
PrebuildRetrieveResponse { prebuild }
prebuild: Prebuild { metadata, spec, status, id }

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

metadata: PrebuildMetadata { createdAt, creator, updatedAt, 5 more }

metadata contains organizational and ownership information

createdAt: string

created_at is when the prebuild was created

formatdate-time
creator: Subject { id, principal }

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?: string

id is the UUID of the subject

formatuuid
principal?: 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"
updatedAt: string

updated_at is when the prebuild was last updated

formatdate-time
environmentClassId?: string

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?: Subject { id, principal }

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?: string

id is the UUID of the subject

formatuuid
principal?: 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"
organizationId?: string

organization_id is the ID of the organization that owns the prebuild

formatuuid
projectId?: string

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

formatuuid
triggeredBy?: PrebuildTrigger

trigger describes the trigger that created this prebuild.

One of the following:
"PREBUILD_TRIGGER_UNSPECIFIED"
"PREBUILD_TRIGGER_MANUAL"
"PREBUILD_TRIGGER_SCHEDULED"
spec: PrebuildSpec { desiredPhase, specVersion, timeout }

spec contains the configuration used to create this prebuild

desiredPhase?: 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"
specVersion?: string

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

timeout?: string

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 { phase, completionTime, environmentId, 6 more }

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"
completionTime?: string

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

formatdate-time
environmentId?: string

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

formatuuid
failureMessage?: string

failure_message contains details about why the prebuild failed

logUrl?: string

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

formaturi
snapshotCompletionPercentage?: number

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
snapshotSizeBytes?: string

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

statusVersion?: string

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

warningMessage?: string

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?: string

id is the unique identifier for the prebuild

formatuuid
