An sbt plugin to publish releases on Github

Alexey Alekhin

@laughedelic

this renames notes (and tags the commit)

but if you don't want to use it, you can just set version manually

Nicolas Rouquette

@NicolasRouquette

Thanks! I'll give this a try.

Alexey Alekhin

@laughedelic

I mean, this nice-sbt-settings plugin is made primarily for our internal use, so some things may appear inconvenient. but if you find it useful and want to try I'm glad to hear your suggestions for improvement

By the way, that prepareReleaseNotesAndTag is part of this task

Nicolas Rouquette

@NicolasRouquette

do you have somewhere a description of your development / CI / release workflow?

i have to move a couple of dozen projects from our internal environment => public.

internally, we use nexus pro and the 2-stage publish/release process.

so far, the github release support seems to be a good match for that and i find it easier to understand & work with than bintray's

Alexey Alekhin

@laughedelic

And you want to resolve artifacts from github as well? It seems to be not very reliable..

Nicolas Rouquette

@NicolasRouquette

i see that you use amazon s3; which I suppose is more reliable than github.

Alexey Alekhin

@laughedelic

do you have somewhere a description of your development / CI / release workflow?

Nope, I'm going to write some docs for this once I finish ohnosequences/nice-sbt-settings#49 (hopefully this or next week)

Nicolas Rouquette

@NicolasRouquette

for now, i'll try github and if that is problematic, then maybe i'll try to follow your example and use s3.

Alexey Alekhin

@laughedelic

Right. But what's the problem with bintray?

Nicolas Rouquette

@NicolasRouquette

I created an organization (jpl-imce) and a repo (jpl-imce/gov.nasa.jpl.imce) and a package: https://bintray.com/jpl-imce/gov.nasa.jpl.imce/imce.sbt.plugin

I tried to configure travis-ci to publish there but that fails with an authentication and/or incorrect upload path: https://travis-ci.org/JPL-IMCE/imce.sbt.plugin/builds/154060867

I tried to use the bintray-sbt plugin; which depends on another library to access the bintray api.

so there are several intermediaries involved; it's difficult to understand what is going on and where the problem comes from. I googled around but didn't find good examples of what I've been trying to do.

Alexey Alekhin

@laughedelic

But did bintray-sbt plugin work for you? I think it should work on Travis fine if you setup an encrypted API token.

Nicolas Rouquette

@NicolasRouquette

no and I struggled with the configuration quite a bit.

at this point, i spent too much time with this so i'm giving up on bintray.

Alexey Alekhin

@laughedelic

I was going to publish there some of my personal projects and some sbt plugins. Let's see if I run into such issues as well..

Nicolas Rouquette

@NicolasRouquette

Well, on my side, I haven't found a github resolver, similar to your ivy/sbt-s3-resolver; on the other hand, I managed to fix the bintray deployment from travis.
Not quite what I was expecting at the beginning of the day but good progress. Now, I want to use your nice-sbt-settings to simplify my development workflow!

Alexey Alekhin

@laughedelic

That's great :smile: You can use 0.8.0-RC2 meanwhile and I think you can customize your workflow redefining prepareRelease and makeRelease tasks (they are just sequences of other tasks). The idea of the release command is

to run prepareRelease (which runs checks and makes a tag),
then reload to update the version (with the new git tag),
then run makeRelease (which publishes artifacts and does which ever else release-related stuff)

Alexey Alekhin

@laughedelic

I haven't found a github resolver

how does this work then? doesn't it resolve artifacts from github?

on the other hand, I managed to fix the bintray deployment from travis

this is nice. what was the key to the solution? I see quite complicated bintray configuration at imce.sbt.plugin. is it really necessary? can't you just use bintray-sbt plugin and run sbt publish from Travis?

Nicolas Rouquette

@NicolasRouquette

That was for source project dependencies — see http://www.scala-sbt.org/0.13/docs/Plugins.html, (1d).

Yes I agree it is complicated; at this time, it’s the only working solution i have — I need to go back and revisit the bintray-sbt attempt.

Nicolas Rouquette

@NicolasRouquette

the travis deploy bintray solution is cumbersome because it is necessary to put an explicit version string in the json descriptor. This descriptor could be generated somehow; there might be a capability to do some kind of variable expansion — I’ve seen some travis configurations with variables but not bintray deployment configurations. I’m not very keen about this solution because it only works on travis and there’s no way to do any kind of local build/deployment at all.

@/all new release is out: v0.4.0

@sinaghaffari

Hey, every time i run: sbt githubRelease I get:

[error] (*:githubRelease) Repository https://github.com/Woombot/woombot-config doesn't e
xist or is not accessible.

Even though The token I created has full access to my account and I have access to that repository!

Alexey Alekhin

@laughedelic

hi @sinaghaffari

Are you sure the repo name is correct?

have you tried the plugin on any other repos with this token?

Sina

@sinaghaffari

Hey @laughedelic I ended up finding the problem, but ran into a different issue that wasn't related to sbt-github-release.
Essentially, I wanted publish my projects to github-releases, then use releases as a repository.

I gave up and went back to my old method

Alexey Alekhin

@laughedelic

I'm not sure I got you right: was the problem related to sbt-github-release or not? If yes, would be nice to know it.

Resolving from Github releases is tricky, but I think, still possible

Alexey Alekhin

@laughedelic

@/all Just released v0.6.0. The only change is updated Github API library: now you don't need to add an extra resolver to your project/plugins.sbt when you use this plugin :ok_hand:

@garraspin

Hello! I made a PR to enable github enterprise, i hope you guys can review it: ohnosequences/sbt-github-release#34

Faiaz Sanaulla

@fsanaulla

Hello, is it possible to make a release in the multi-module project? As one release.

Alexey Alekhin

@laughedelic

@fsanaulla sure. Have you tried it?

Faiaz Sanaulla

@fsanaulla

@laughedelic just solved it by myself using as example https://github.com/twilio/guardrail

Anyway Thank you!

Alexey Alekhin

@laughedelic

Great! :+1:

@naseem91

How do I fork an existing repo from my sbt ?

Alexey Alekhin

@laughedelic

@naseem91 hi. this plugin is not meant for that. it's purpose is to publish release notes on github.

ldeluigi

@ldeluigi

is this project still active?

Alexey Alekhin

@laughedelic

This message was deleted

@ldeluigi unfortunately, no. I don't have access to the repo anymore and apparently no one else is maintaining it.
