Command line tool to execute jobs in Cirrus CI

Command line tool to execute jobs in Cirrus CI

Project status

Stable software. Adopted by several third parties to build their CI pipelines. The project uses semantic versioning, any breaking changes will result in major version increment. Recommended to pin to 1.* when using in production.

Overview

cirrus-run is a CLI application that allows you to execute builds in CirrusCI.

It uses local YAML files for build configuration, but requires a reference to GitHub repo and branch to assign ownership of the build. The build itself may have no relation to the specified GitHub repo. This enables integration with other source code hosting platforms, e.g. with GitLab: you can trigger CirrusCI builds by executing cirrus-run in GitLab CI

Installation

cirrus-run can be installed with pip:

pip install cirrus-run

Latest development versions are also installable:

pip install "https://github.com/sio/cirrus-run/tarball/master#egg=cirrus-run"

You can also run it in Docker: potyarkin/cirrus-run. This image is especially useful for integrating with other CI platforms.

Usage

usage: cirrus-run [-h] [--token TOKEN] [--github REPO] [--branch BRANCH] [-v]
                  [--timeout MINUTES]
                  [--show-build-log {failure,always,never}]
                  [--flaky-markers FILE]
                  [CONFIG]

Execute CI jobs in CirrusCI

positional arguments:
  CONFIG                Path to YAML configuration file or Jinja2 template for
                        such file. Filenames ending with .j2 or .jinja2 are
                        assumed to provide the templates. All environment
                        variables are available inside these templates.
                        Default value: $CIRRUS_CONFIG or .cirrus.yml or
                        .cirrus.yml.j2

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --token TOKEN         Access token for CirrusCI API. Recommended and more
                        secure way of providing the token is via environment
                        variable. Default value: $CIRRUS_API_TOKEN
  --github REPO         GitHub repo id that will own the build
                        ("owner/reponame"). This repo may have no relation to
                        the CI job being executed. It may even be empty.
                        Default value: $CIRRUS_GITHUB_REPO
  --branch BRANCH       GitHub repo branch that will own the build. This
                        branch may have no relation to the CI job being
                        executed. Default value: $CIRRUS_GITHUB_BRANCH or
                        master
  -v, --verbose         Increase output verbosity. Repeating this argument
                        multiple times increases verbosity level even further.
  --timeout MINUTES     Timeout (in minutes) before assuming that the build
                        has hanged and that API responses are unreliable.
                        Default value: $CIRRUS_TIMEOUT or 120
  --show-build-log {failure,always,never}
                        Specify whether to print the build log to stdout after
                        completing CI run. Default value:
                        $CIRRUS_SHOW_BUILD_LOG or "failure"
  --flaky-markers FILE  Path to file that contains flaky build markers, one
                        marker per line. If any marker is found in Cirrus CI
                        output for a failed build, the build is retried once
                        more. Default: $CIRRUS_FLAKY_MARKERS_FILE
