Github build status for downstream Pipelines
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Hi,
I have a multiple pipeline setup (mainly because I need to use templates).
So I have a main upstream pipeline that uses the SCM directly and for that pipeline I do see the status on github.
but for all other downstream pipelines which use the upstream pipeline as a material and NOT the SCM directly I don't see any status updates (they are not listed) on github.
is there a way to see all downstream pipelines ?
I am using version 1.7.1-169 of this plugin
With the way this currently works, and the way the plugin APIs are designed within GoCD I don't think that is possible, no - see https://groups.google.com/g/go-cd/c/iKaEfamf3gM/m/GJibdVm9AwAJ for a similar question
I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to achieve. Probably better to write to the generic forums and get others' perspectives. Keep in mind that feature branch / PR flow has never been an emphasis for complex pipeline chains in GoCD, which is relatively opinionated (see here - plugins it mentions are old, but the philosophy it discusses are relevant).
Nevertheless, if your goal is to re-use logic or simplify maintainance of different building blocks of pipelines, (including stages/jobs) you are best to look at one of the pipelines-as-code plugins: https://docs.gocd.org/current/advanced_usage/pipelines_as_code.html
If you use the Yaml one, there is some re-use possible via YAML anchors, however the very nature of having the whole pipeline definition defined in code/yaml makes it easier to manage duplication than via UI clicky-clicky definitions.
If you use the groovy plugin, you can extend this to full code re-use, and also use it to automatically generate separate pipelines for PRs when raised, if that is your flow.
