Research direction

Start with the build_client_v6_0.get_build(project_name, buildId) call shown in the issue and inspect the returned build fields. Determine whether output variables or a parseable build-output string is available through this client; done means identifying a supported way to retrieve that information.

Description

Hi there,

with

        build_client_v6_0 = self._connection.clients_v6_0.get_build_client()
        while 1:
            build = build_client_v6_0.get_build(project_name, buildId)
            logging.debug("Build running (id: {}, build_number: {} status: {}, result: {})".format(build.id, build.build_number, build.status, build.result))
            if build.status in ['completed']:
                logging.info("Build finished (id: {}, build_number: {} status: {}, result: {})".format(build.id, build.build_number, build.status, build.result))
                break
            time.sleep(30)
        return build

I am able to run a pipeline remotely and verify it's result. But is there a way also to gather more information? E.g. from output variables or at least a string which I could parse.

Thanks
Karsten
