Bash Library

The internal Bash library for CI Tools is used in all components but can be also used standalone.

Usage

To load the library simply execute the command. 

source <( curl -s https://gitlab.com/xrow-public/ci-tools/-/raw/main/scripts/bootloader.sh ) [version]

Replace [version] with either a branch name like main or a proper release version like 4.66.4.

source <(curl -s https://gitlab.com/xrow-public/ci-tools/-/raw/main/scripts/bootloader.sh) 4.66.4

Afterwards you can execute any function of the available modules, for example:

ci_helm_build_chart ./chart

How jobs interact with the bash scripting library?

Some components delegate business logic to bash scripts available via a common library in scripts/library.sh. Each individual pipeline reuses some parts of the library. Components are loading the library as a remote script source <(curl -s https://gitlab.com/xrow-public/ci-tools/-/raw/main/scripts/library.sh). ci_lint_javascript is a function out of the library scripts/lib/lint.sh. By convention the prefix of the function lint indicates use and location of the function.

Example from templates/s2i-php/template.yml:

lint:javascript:
  script:
    - |
      source <(curl -s https://gitlab.com/xrow-public/ci-tools/-/raw/main/scripts/library.sh) main
      ci_lint_javascript
