heroku-cli-what-amideploying

Team doesn't create changelogs? Hard to keep track of what you're deploying? Using a buildpack that doesn't run migrations or any post-deploy tasks?

This is a Heroku CLI plugin for listing what files are being deployed and whether any migrations or post-deploy tasks should be run.

Dependencies

• git

This was built and tested with this release of the Heroku CLI:

$ heroku -v
heroku-cli/6.14.31-33a2d0a (darwin-x64) node-v8.5.0

Install

heroku plugins:install heroku-cli-what-amideploying

Run

Flags

• -a - (REQUIRED) This is your Heroku app name passed the same as you would pass to other Heroku CLI commands.
• -c - This is not yet implemented.

Commands

heroku what:amideploying -a your-heroku-app-name

<List of files will be here>

The command is also aliased so you can run either of the following:

heroku deploying -a your-heroku-app-name
heroku changed -a your-heroku-app-name

The command does a diff of the HEAD of the current branch and the commit hash of the last release of the given app.

It then outputs the changed files (the same as git diff --name-only hash1 hash2) and then checks to see if files have changed in either of the below detected folders.

If files have changed, it outputs a message with which type of task (migrations or after_party).

If migrations and post-deploy tasks are present the output of the command will look like this:

heroku what:amideploying -a your-heroku-app-name

<List of files will be here>

*** New migrations ***
*** New after_party tasks ***

Supported Detection

Migrations

**/*/db/migrate - This should cover Rails apps.

Post-deploy

**/*/tasks/deployment - This covers after_party.
