Recent Updates

Runbook Automation SaaS receives new features and fixes in regular updates. The updates below are already live in SaaS and will be included in the next self-hosted release of Runbook Automation and Rundeck.

For everything in the current self-hosted version, see the 6.3.0 release notes.

Available Now in SaaS

Bypass the replica query cache

Cluster members no longer fail job start or runner health checks when another member has deleted a runner replica.

PR #10688

Git SCM import and export can optionally restrict remote URL schemes and reject hosts that resolve to non-public addresses. Both controls are off by default, so existing Git remotes keep working. Git transport errors shown in the UI and API are now a generic message.

Keep exit code for workflow step plugins on remote runner

Error handlers on failed workflow step plugins (local or remote runner) can now read ${result.resultCode}.

PR #10691

Fixed: when a workflow step plugin (for example a script-based workflow step such as a local script step) failed with a non-zero exit code, its error handler could not read the exit code: ${result.resultCode} was empty. A handler that exported it, such as a Global Variable step, failed with Empty value, so the exit code could not be passed to later steps or back to a parent job through a job reference.

Error handlers on failed workflow step plugins now get the step's exit code in ${result.resultCode}, the same as Command and Script node steps. This works on the local runner and on remote runners.

Note: with "If a step fails: Run remaining steps" (keepgoing) enabled, a successful error handler marks the failed step as successful. This is existing behavior. Before this fix, such handlers often failed because of the empty value, so the step stayed failed.
