monorepo-diff-buildkite-plugin

This plugin will assist you in triggering pipelines by watching folders in your monorepo.

Example

Simple

steps:
  - label: "Triggering pipelines"
    plugins:
      chronotc/monorepo-diff:
        diff: "git diff --name-only HEAD~1"
        watch:
          - path: "foo-service/"
            config:
              trigger: "deploy-foo-service"

Detailed

steps:
  - label: "Triggering pipelines"
    plugins:
      chronotc/monorepo-diff:
        diff: "git diff --name-only $(head -n 1 last_successful_build)"
        watch:
          - path: "foo-service/"
            config:
              trigger: "deploy-foo-service"
              build:
                message: "Deploying foo service"
                env:
                  - HELLO=123
                  - AWS_REGION
          - path: "ops/terraform/"
            config:
              trigger: "provision-terraform-resources"
              async: true
        wait: true
        hooks:
          - command: "echo "$(git rev-parse HEAD)" > last_successful_build"

Configuration

diff (optional)

This will run the script provided to determine the folder changes. Depending on your use case, you may want to determine the point where the branch occurs https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1527234/finding-a-branch-point-with-git and perform a diff against the branch point.

Sample output:

README.md
lib/trigger.bash
tests/trigger.bats

Default: git diff --name-only HEAD~1

Examples:

diff: ./diff-against-last-successful-build.sh

#!/bin/bash

set -ueo pipefail

LAST_SUCCESSFUL_BUILD_COMMIT="$(aws s3 cp "${S3_LAST_SUCCESSFUL_BUILD_COMMIT_PATH}" - | head -n 1)"
git diff --name-only "$LAST_SUCCESSFUL_BUILD_COMMIT"

diff: ./diff-against-last-built-tag.sh

#!/bin/bash

set -ueo pipefail

LATEST_BUILT_TAG=$(git describe --tags --match foo-service-* --abbrev=0)
git diff --name-only "$LATEST_TAG"

watch

Declare a list of

- path: app/cms/
  config: # Required [trigger step configuration]
    trigger: cms-deploy # Required [trigger pipeline slug]

path

If the path specified here in the appears in the diff output, a trigger step will be added to the dynamically generated pipeline.yml

config

The configuration for the trigger step https://buildkite.com/docs/pipelines/trigger-step

By default, it will pass the following values to the build attributes unless an alternative values are provided

- path: app/cms/
  config:
    trigger: cms-deploy
    build:
      commit: $BUILDKITE_COMMIT
      branch: $BUILDKITE_BRANCH

wait (optional)

By setting wait to true, the build will wait until the triggered pipeline builds are successful before proceeding

hooks (optional)

Currently supports a list of commands you wish to execute after the watched pipelines have been triggered

hooks:
  - command: upload unit tests reports
  - command: echo success

Environment

DEBUG (optional)

By turning DEBUG on, the generated pipeline will be displayed prior to upload

steps:
  - label: "Triggering pipelines"
    env:
      DEBUG: true
    plugins:
      chronotc/monorepo-diff:
        diff: "git diff --name-only HEAD~1"
        watch:
          - path: "foo-service/"
            config:
              trigger: "deploy-foo-service"
