Generate Data JS Tool
This package provides a NodeJS CLI tool which basically consumes information from Github API and/or Jenkins API and generates a JSON file which is retrieved by the React web application.
Usage
This tool can be easy use as a NodeJS CLI tool or as a Github Action
NodeJS CLI Usage
In order to use you just need to install all required libraries, build the project and run the automatically generated distribution file at packages/action/dist/index.js
.
- Install libraries [run it from the project's root]
$ yarn
- Run the tool, this can be done either Command Line Interface approach (see local dev section) or using Github action (see action flow section)
Inputs
In this section you can find overall list of inputs that you can or must provide to the tool, either using cli or using the Github workflow.
| Field | Required | Default | Description |
| ------------------ | -------- | ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| github-token | true | | The Github token that must be used to interact with Github API |
| definition-file | true | | The file containing all projects for which you want to provide the status, an example - more infos here |
| title | false | Project status | The project/webapp title |
| subtitle | false | Contribution status | The project/webapp subtitle |
| base-branch-filter | false | | A comma separated list of base branches RegEx to be filtered. Like main,7.59.x,8.x
or main,^7.*
|
| project-filter | false | | A comma separated list of project RegEx to be filtered. Like drools,opta.*
or jbpm,^drools.*
|
| created-by | false | github action | The user/machine/whatever that regenerates the report |
| created-url | false | | Normally the job generating the info URL |
| logger-level | false | info | The log level. 'info' (default) | 'trace' | 'debug' |
| gh-pages-branch | false | gh-pages | The branch used by gh-pages
tool, where the webpage will be stored |
| branches | false | [] | The list of branches for which to provide branches comparison |
Local Execution
In order to locally run this, you simply need to run the cli tool providing at least all required arguments (more details in inputs section)
Here an usage example:
$ node packages/action/src/bin/cli.js -t 'Title' -st 'Subtitle' --token <GH-TOKEN> -df https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kiegroup/kogito-pipelines/main/.ci/pull-request-config.yaml [-o <PATH-TO-REACT-WEBAPP-DATA>]
Github Action Flow
This tool can be integrated in a Github action in order to automate the data generation process, for this purpose this project comes with an easy to use Github action that you only need to use in your own Github workflows.
Here the main important steps performed by generate-data action:
- Checkout in the branch where you want to store the webpage code and content, the default is
gh-pages
. - Execute the chain-status tool that, given a set of inputs, compute the configuration files and all the contents that are used by the webpage - this execution is performed using another Github action.
- Commit and push the newly generated data in the target branch (e.g.,
gh-pages
).
