Building and deploying in separate jobs

Deployments
1

I’d like to have two jobs, one for build and one for deploy, and a workflow that only deploys after a successful build. How do I make the built artifacts available to the deploy job?

Here’s my config.yml. The ‘hexo generate’ command builds a static website and puts it in the public/ directory.

version: 2.1
jobs:
  build:
    docker:
      - image: circleci/node:10.16.3

    working_directory: ~/repo

    steps:
      - checkout

      # Pull the theme's submodule code
      - run: git submodule sync
      - run: git submodule update --init

      # Download previously cached dependencies
      - restore_cache:
          keys:
            - v1-dependencies-{{ checksum "package.json" }}

      # Update node modules
      - run: npm install

      # Install the hexo-cli
      - run: sudo npm install -g hexo-cli

      # Cache the current state of the node modules
      - save_cache:
          paths:
            - node_modules
          key: v1-dependencies-{{ checksum "package.json" }}

      # Generate the static files of the website
      - run: hexo clean
      - run: hexo generate

  deploy:
    docker:
      - image: 'circleci/python:3.7.4'
    working_directory: ~/repo
    steps:
      - run:
          name: Install awscli
          command: sudo pip install awscli
      - run:
          name: Deploy to S3
          command: aws s3 sync public/ s3://agileexplorations.com --delete

workflows:
  version: 2.1
  build-deploy:
    jobs:
      - build
      - deploy:
          requires:
            - build
          filters:
            branches:
              only: master

Here’s the failure:

    $ #!/bin/bash -eo pipefail
    aws s3 sync public/ s3://agileexplorations.com --delete

    The user-provided path public/ does not exist.
    Exited with code 255

Nevermind. Figured it out. Needed to use workspaces.

Added this to the first job:

      # Persist into the workspace for use in deploy job. 
      - persist_to_workspace:
          root: public
          paths:
            - '*'

Added this to the second job:

      - attach_workspace:
          at: public
