Below is an example of the output when run the plugin using this code repository directory.

[
    {
        "name": "main.go",
        "path": "drone-findfiles/main.go",
        "isDirectory": false,
        "length": 1130,
        "lastModified": "2024-09-12T19:45:00Z"
    },
    {
        "name": "pipeline.go",
        "path": "drone-findfiles/plugin/pipeline.go",
        "isDirectory": false,
        "length": 5424,
        "lastModified": "2024-09-12T19:45:00Z"
    },
    {
        "name": "plugin.go",
        "path": "drone-findfiles/plugin/plugin.go",
        "isDirectory": false,
        "length": 3444,
        "lastModified": "2024-09-12T19:45:00Z"
    },
    {
        "name": "plugin_test.go",
        "path": "drone-findfiles/plugin/plugin_test.go",
        "isDirectory": false,
        "length": 9838,
        "lastModified": "2024-09-12T19:45:00Z"
    }
]

The plugin uses the Drone environment variable DRONE_OUTPUT to write the search result.

Step Definition

Below is an example to use the plugin inside a Harness CI pipeline.

- step:
    type: Plugin
    name: Find Files
    identifier: Find_Files
    spec:
      connectorRef: harness-docker-connector
      image: harness-community/drone-findfiles:linux-amd64
      settings:
        glob: "**/*.go"

To use the output JSON inside the Harness pipeline use the expression <+steps.STEP_ID.output.outputVariables.FILES_INFO> where the STEP_ID is the identifier from the find files plugin.

You can use the expression and inspect each attribute using jq tool inside a Run step.

files_info='<+steps.Find_Files.output.outputVariables.FILES_INFO>'

echo "Path"
echo $files_info | jq '.[].path'

Building

Build the plugin binary:

scripts/build.sh

Testing

Execute the plugin from your current working directory:

PLUGIN_GLOB="**/*.go" \
PLUGIN_EXCLUDES="**/*_test.go" \
DRONE_OUTPUT="drone_output.properties" \
go run main.go
