GoCD build status notifier

This is GoCD's Notification plugin that updates SCM with build status.

Supported:

• GitHub Pull Request status
• Stash Pull Request status
• Gerrit Change Set status

Requirements

These plugins require GoCD version >= v15.x or above

Get Started

Installation:

• Download the latest plugin jar from Releases section. Place it in <go-server-location>/plugins/external & restart Go Server.

Behavior

• Go Server notifies the plugin on every Stage Status Change with relevant details. The plugin scans the build-cause to see if the github.pr / stash.pr / gerrit.cs material is present.
• If it is, then Pull Request/Change Set status is updated with status=stage-result, context=pipeline-name/stage-name & target-url=trackback-url.

Configuration

• You will see Github Pull Requests status notifier / Stash Pull Requests status notifier / Gerrit Change Set status notifier / GitLab Feature Branch status notifier on plugin listing page

• You can configure the plugin (this feature requires GoCD version >= v15.2, use system properties to configure the plugin). The details should be as follows:

  • Server Base URL The URL of your go-server (by default, http://localhost:8153).
  • End Point If using enterprise edition, this needs to be configured for the enterprise endpoint. Else, it can be left blank.
  • Username A Github user with push access to the repository.
  • Password If not using two factor authentication, this is the password for the given Github user. Else, it can be left blank.
  • OAuth Token If using two-factor authentication, provide a personal access token (with the repo:status oath scope) instead of the password above. Else, it can be left blank.

• When the stage status changes...

• The PR state is updated!

Target URL:

• You can provide trackback through system property go.plugin.build.status.go-server. It defaults to 'http://localhost:8153' if not available. Eg:

-Dgo.plugin.build.status.go-server=http://localhost:8153

GitHub

Authentication:

• You can choose to provide username & password through system property go.plugin.build.status.github.username & go.plugin.build.status.github.password. Eg:

-Dgo.plugin.build.status.github.username=johndoe
-Dgo.plugin.build.status.github.password=thisaintapassword

or provide the oauth access token through system property go.plugin.build.status.github.oauth.

-Dgo.plugin.build.status.github.username=johndoe
-Dgo.plugin.build.status.github.oauth=thisaintatoken

• (or) through file ~/.github on Go Server with the following contents:

login=johndoe
password=thisaintapassword

or

login=johndoe
oauth=thisaintatoken

Github Enterprise:

• You can choose to provide endpoint through system property go.plugin.build.status.github.endpoint. Eg:

-Dgo.plugin.build.status.github.endpoint=http://code.yourcompany.com

• (or) through file ~/.github on Go Server with the following contents:

endpoint=http://code.yourcompany.com

Stash

Setup:

• You need to provide endpoint, username & password through system property go.plugin.build.status.stash.endpoint, go.plugin.build.status.stash.username & go.plugin.build.status.stash.password. Eg:

-Dgo.plugin.build.status.stash.endpoint=http://localhost:7990
-Dgo.plugin.build.status.stash.username=johndoe
-Dgo.plugin.build.status.stash.password=thisaintapassword

Gerrit

Setup:

• You need to provide endpoint, username, password & codeReviewLabel through system property go.plugin.build.status.gerrit.endpoint, go.plugin.build.status.gerrit.username, go.plugin.build.status.gerrit.password, go.plugin.build.status.gerrit.codeReviewLabel. Eg:

-Dgo.plugin.build.status.gerrit.endpoint=http://localhost:7990
-Dgo.plugin.build.status.gerrit.username=johndoe
-Dgo.plugin.build.status.gerrit.password=thisaintapassword
-Dgo.plugin.build.status.gerrit.codeReviewLabel=Verified

Gitlab

Setup:

• This works with git.fb poller plugin that can be found here https://github.com/ashwanthkumar/gocd-build-github-pull-requests/releases
• You will need a Gitlab Oauth token: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/personal_access_tokens.html
• You need to provide server_base_url, endpoint, oauth_token using the plugin configuration view
• Alternatively you can pass them through GoCD system property go.plugin.build.status.gitlab.endpoint, go.plugin.build.status.gitlab.oauth. Eg:

-Dgo.plugin.build.status.gitlab.endpoint=http://gitlab.com
-Dgo.plugin.build.status.gitlab.oauth=XXXX
