SnapCiManualTrigger

SnapCiManualTrigger will connect to Snap-CI's API and trigger a manual stage on a given pipeline or create a new pipeline.

It uses Snap-CI's API, with user and APIKEY, so it acts in a users name.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'snap_ci_manual_trigger'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install snap_ci_manual_trigger

The Service object can be used programmatically.

service = SnapCiManualTrigger.for user: snap_ci_user, 
                                  api_key: snap_ci_api_key,
                                  owner: owner,
                                  repository: repository, 
                                  branch_name: branch_name
                                  
# creates a new pipeline, and returns the ID
pipeline_id = service.new_pipeline

# triggers the stage "Deploy" in the new pipeline
running_pipeline_url = service.manual_stage stage: 'Deploy', pipeline_id: pipeline_id
 
 
# trigger the stage "Deploy" in a new pipeline in one command
running_pipeline_url = service.manual_stage_on_new_pipeline 'Deploy'

This gem adds a generator to create specific rake tasks that will make things easier.

We invoke the generator like this:

rails generate snap_ci_manual_trigger:rake_tasks my-org my-repo

And it will create a rake task for calling manual_stage_on_new_pipeline there. It will be used like this:

# this will call for the 'Deploy' stage in a new pipeline in my-org/my-repo in branch 'master'
rake snap_ci:my-org_my-repo[Deploy]

# this will call for the 'Deploy' stage in a new pipeline in my-org/my-repo in branch 'other_branch'
rake snap_ci:my-org_my-repo[Deploy,other_branch]

It reads the credentials from ENV (required):

• SNAP_CI_USER: Snap-CI username
• SNAP_CI_API_KEY: Snap-CI API Key

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake rspec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

• specify requirement of SNAP_CI_USER and SNAP_CI_API_KEY env vars in generated rake task.
• remove :environment req. in generated rake task.

• indentation in generated rake tasks

• Generators added
• major version bump since we now require railties, which could be a breaking change
