CI Tests for Container Images Based on Red Hat Software Collections

This directory contains job configuration files, managed through Jenkins Job Builder, to run tests for each Container Image based on Red Hat Software Collections.

Current list of tested images can be found in Github team repositories or in configuration file.

Now tests are run in two Jenkins instances:

CentOS CI
- jobs to test Pull Requests (test CentOS based variants of images)
- JJB configuration file jenkins_jobs.ini
Non-public Jenkins server (to know more ask hhorak@redhat.com)
- jobs to test Pull Requests (test RHEL based variants of images)
- jobs to build CentOS based variants of images on every new commit and push them to Docker Hub
- JJB configuration file jenkins_jobs_rhscl.ini

All scripts, which are used by this repo, are stored in alone repository ci-scripts, so we do not update Jenkins CI by each change. ci-scripts repository is cloned by each task in Jenkins CI.

Pre-requisites

To use scripts in this repository to update jobs in Jenkins you need:

virtualenv command, supplied through the python-virtualenv RPM

JJB will be installed into a virtual environment under this directory, so is safe to run on any system.

Updating all jobs

The provided script can update the Jenkins jobs over the API by running JJB.

./run.sh update

To access Jenkins using JJB you have to provide configuration file. So if files jenkins_jobs.ini and jenkins_jobs_rhscl.ini don't exist they are created from a template. Then add the username/password for access to Jenkins, edit URL in jenkins_jobs_rhscl.ini and then re-run the command.

Note: SCLo-sig credentials for ci.centos.org can be found in the home directory on slave01.ci.centos.org.

Using run.sh

run.sh is simple wrapper for jenkins-jobs command. It supports update, test and delete commands. And according specified name prefix of jobs it selects right configuration file and adds -r $THISDIR/yaml to specify path for commands.

To test the configuration of one job, run:

./run.sh test rhscl-images-ruby-rh
echo $?

Once happy with the result, to test your config change on a single job, run:

./run.sh update rhscl-images-ruby-rh

During updating jobs you can select jobs by globbing. For example to update jobs configured for CentOS CI run

./run.sh update SCLo-*

or to update the RHEL related jobs in different jenkins instance run

./run.sh update rhscl-*

Generating jobs

Project files for each Software Collection Docker image in folder ./yaml/jobs/collections/ can be generated by running ./run.sh. If project file for some line in configuration file does not exist, it is generated by substituting values to template. Each line of this file has format: "name namespace github_org github_project triggering_project".

By default each project has these three jenkins jobs generated:

SCLo-container-{name}-{namespace}: job which tests content of pull requests in CentOS7. It requires to run on CentOS CI infrastructure).
rhscl-images-{name}-{namespace}: job which tests content of pull requests in RHEL7. This job is not configured to use CentOS CI infrastructure and it requires to run on machine with access to RHEL7 Docker image.
rhscl-images-{name}-{namespace}-build: job which after new commit to repository builds CentoOS7 based image and pushes it to Docker Hub. This job is not configured to use CentOS CI infrastructure.

Projects do not have to use all three default jobs. Some files in ./yaml/jobs/collections/ can be manually created/updated. So be careful when regenerating all project files.

For regenerating all project files (if you really know what you do; see a comment above), run:

rm yaml/jobs/collections/*yaml
./run test

How to add tests for a new image

When a new image is created and we want to add testing of it. Push/move image repository into https://github.com/sclorg organization. To enable CI:

Create jenkins job - the easiest way is to add a new entry to ./configuration file and run ./run.sh (missing project files are generated):

./run.sh update

Then a PR should include ./configuration and the newly created file ./yaml/jobs/collections/<newspec>.
In order to allow testing of the pull-requests, right permissions have be set. Add the 'centos-ci' user as a collaborator to the repo and add the repository to 'Container images' github team - both with write access.
To be able to trigger CentOS CI jobs add webhook for github repository:

Payload URL : https://ci.centos.org/ghprbhook/

Choose 'Let me select individual events.' and mark notifications for 'Issue comment' and 'Pull request'.
If the repository is supposed to be maintaned (write/admin permissions) only by people from RedHat, add the repository to 'RedHat maintained' github team. There is a jenkins job which check permissions for all repositories listed there.

Branches in this repo

This repository contains three important branches

old_jenkins - which did not use ci-scripts repository and Jenkins CI did not use OpenShift at all.
ocp3_jenkins - which uses ci-scripts repository with branch ocp3_jenkins and Jenkins CI use OpenShift 3 and configuration is done as Configuration as a Code.
master - which uses ci-scripts repository with branch master and Jenkins CI use OpenShift 4 and configuration is done as Configuration as a Code.

Creating necessary credentials in Jenkins

Jenkins jobs need permissions to access github pull-requests for two reasons:

A) Update the status of the pull-request

B) Creating a gist file to share the job log, that is otherwise available behind a firewall only; and updating generated branch

All credentials, tokens and configurations are now hidden in secret repo. Our Jenkins CI is now configured as Configuration as a Code. For access to this repo, ask pkubat@redhat.com, hhorak@redhat.com or phracek@redhat.com
