releaser

Releaser

A dev-internal Go-based tool to create Nuclio releases

Releaser flow

1. Clone Nuclio to a temp dir
2. Merge your dev branch changes onto your release branch (if there is any)
3. Create a GitHub release out of the release branch
4. Wait for the Build + Push Nuclio images to finish
5. Bump + release Nuclio Helm charts with the target version

Pre Requisites

1. go mod download - to ensure you have all go modules downloaded
2. You are running from development, to ensure you have the very latest version of releaser.go
3. if you have gpg and commit signature verification enabled:
   1. ensure you have pinentry-mac installed (brew install gnupg pinentry-mac)
   2. cd ~/.gnupg
   3. vi gpg-agent.conf && add pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry-mac
   4. echo "use-agent" > gpg.conf
   5. killall gpg-agent
   6. now gnupg would use macOS keychain to prompt for a password and releaser would be able to use your git commands
4. use a scope-less GitHub token to avoid API rate limiting

Use cases

• Release from development, bump patch version

 go run releaser.go \
  --bump-patch \
  --github-token <my-scopeless-token>

• Release from development, explicit target versions

 go run releaser.go \
  --target-version 1.5.0 \
  --helm-charts-release-version 0.7.3
  --github-token <my-scopeless-token>

• Release from a 1.x.y branch

go run releaser.go \
  --development-branch 1.4.x \
  --release-branch 1.4.x \
  --target-version 1.4.18 \
  --helm-charts-release-version 0.6.19

• Publish Nuclio Helm charts

Steps:

1. Create a PR against development with your changes, wait for it to pass CI
2. Merge to development
3. Run the following

go run releaser.go \
  --skip-create-release \
  --helm-charts-release-version x.y.z

• Publish Nuclio Helm charts from specific branch

Steps:

1. Merge helm changes to the specific branch
2. Run the following

go run releaser.go \
  --skip-create-release \
  --development-branch 1.6.x \
  --release-branch 1.6.x \
  --helm-charts-release-version x.y.z

To use GitHub token, simply run releaser with --github-token <my-token> or set it via env NUCLIO_RELEASER_GITHUB_TOKEN
