Overview


  • 'Devops Deploy' processes allows a user to automate a set of repeatable tasks in a orderly fashion and execute them on configured target machines.

  • Processes can be configured at 3 places in the product, 'Application', 'Component' , 'Processes' and the processes configured here are termed as 'application process', 'component process', 'generic process' respectively.

  • The aim of this project/tool is to allow users to configure their processes in a source code repo like GIT and make it their single source truth and place for users to collaborate to enhance their processes.

  • This tool currently allows users to use json format to define processes and works with existing processes in 'Devops Deploy'.

History

Version 2.0

  • Output json file is pretty printed

  • Added support to pass comments while uploading a process. The comments are mandatory when an user has "Require a Comment For Process Design Changes" enabled in the system settings of DevOps Deploy.Comments should be enclosed in double quotes.

    Syntax: <upload-command> <username> <password> <server-url> <input-file> "comments to add while updating process"

    Example: upload-generic-process admin admin http://localhost:8443 simple-shell-process.json "Changed the Regex in shell step to process only text files."

  • Added Support to inject the value of a plugin property from a separate file if a user needs. The file path should be prefixed with scriptFile/ in the respective Json or Yaml files as shown in below Examples:

    json5 { "properties": { "prop1": "val1", "prop2": "scriptFile/PropDetails.txt" } }

    yaml properties: prop1: "val1" prop2: "scriptFile/PropDetails.txt"

Version 1.2

  • Added support to handle Post Processing script's body in separate files during upload and download process. The file path should be prefixed with scriptFile/ in the respective Json or Yaml files as shown in below examples:
  {
      "postProcessingScript": {
        "name": "MyScript",
        "body": "scriptFile/MyScript.txt"
      }
  }
postProcessingScript:
    name: "MyScript"
    body: "scriptFile/MyScript.txt"

Disclaimer: The change of the body of a post processing script would affect it globally. It means will be applicable to all the processes in which the post processing script is used.

  • Added support for the usage of double-quotes in process step names.
