habx/devops-build-infos repository overview

⁠Build infos generator

⁠Goals

Provide a simple and clear way for software to identify their version at build time (and preferably report it at runtime themselves).

⁠What is it doing

⁠Versioning logic

• If you're on a tag, the version will be the tag name
• Otherwise, the version will be a long named version

⁠Limitations

It's currently dependant on a package.json to make some checks. This limitation could be easily removed.

⁠Generated files

This generate two files:

• build.json looking like this:

{
    "version": "1.17.0-20180923-2004-174e781-test-sentry-cli",
    "git_hash": "174e781",
    "git_date": "20180923-2004",
    "git_branch": "test/sentry-cli",
    "build_date": "2018-09-29T21:42:11.091593"
}

• version.txt looking like this:

1.17.0-20180923-2004-174e781-test-sentry-cli

⁠Using it

To test it locally, execute:

docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/work -ti habx/devops-build-infos

To use it with drone, add this line to the drone build file:

  get-build-infos:
      image: habx/devops-build-infos
