GitHub Deployment Resource

Fetches and creates GitHub Deployments and Deployment Statuses. For more about Github Deployments see the API documentation.

Source Configuration

• user: Required. The GitHub username or organization name for the repository that you are deploying.

• repository: Required. The repository name that you are deploying.

• access_token: Required. Used for accessing deployment data and creating deployments and deployment statuses.

• github_api_url: Optional. If you use a non-public GitHub deployment then you can set your API URL here.

• environments: Optional. A list of environments to get versions for.

Example

- name: deployment
  type: github-deployment
  source:
    user: BrandwatchLtd
    repository: analytics
    access_token: abcdef1234567890

- get: deployment

- put: deployment
  params:
    id:
      file: deployment/id # path to a file containing the deployment ID
    state: success

Behavior

check: Check for Deployments

/check always returns the single latest deployment. It assumes that any preceding deployments are invalidated by the existence of a later deployment.

in: Fetch Deployment

Fetches the latest deployment and creates the following files:

• id containing the id of the deployment being fetched.
• ref containting the name of the ref the deployment is relating to. A branch, tag, or SHA.
• sha containg the SHA that was recorded at deployment creation time.
• task containing the name of the task for the deployment.
• environment containing the name of the environment that is being deployed to.
• description containing the description of the deployment
• deploymentJSON containing the full JSON of the deployment as received from the API.

out: Create a Deployment or DeploymentStatus

Create a new Deployment, or update a given Deployment with a new DeploymentStatus

Parameters

• type: Optional. Either deployment or status. Defaults to status.

If type=status

• id: Required. The ID of the deployment to update with the new status. NB: You'll most likely want to reference a file with this ID stored in (see below).

• state: Required. The state of the new deployment status. Must be one of pending, success, error, inactive, or failure.

If type=deployment

• ref: Optional. The ref of the deployment. A branch name, a tag, or SHA.

• environment: Optional. The name of the environment that is being deployed to.

• description: Optional. The description of the deployment.

• payload: Optional. Additional data about the deployment.

• payload_path: Optional. Path to a file containing additional JSON data to add to the payload.

NB: If there are duplicate keys in data from payload and payload_path, then the data from payload_path takes precedence.

• task: Optional. The name of the task for the deployment.

Reading values from files

All of the above parameters can be used to pass the name of a file to read the applicable value from. For example...

- put: deployment
  params:
    id:
      file: path/to/the/id/file
    state: success
    description:
      file: path/to/the/description

The above configuration, would read in the id and description values from files, but use the state value which has been passed in directly as a string.
