Tool that helps releasing an artefact

Releasing an artefact

This repo provides a script that allows to tag a git repository:

• It looks if the specified build completed successfully
• Gets the commit id from the build
• Suggests you the new version
• Tags the repository

##Prepare the environment

• To enable scripts to interact with jenkins, define a 'jenkins_key' and 'jenkins_user' environment variable in your bashrc file.

export jenkins_user=<username>
export jenkins_key=<api-token>

Replace with your jenkins username (no quotes) Replace with the value obtained from Jenkins

• In addition to that you need some python libraries: requests, pymongo and bottle.

$ curl -O http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
$ sudo python distribute_setup.py
$ sudo easy_install pip
$ sudo pip install requests
$ sudo pip install pymongo
$ sudo pip install bottle

• Configure github and jenkins urls in src/universal/conf/hosts.json

Release

• Tag the artefact: python release.py -v jenkins_job_name build_number The script in src/universal/bin will look at your jenkins instance for the specified green build and tag the repository with the same name as the job.
