This repository can be deployed to Heroku to periodically trigger Shippable builds. It provides single Rake task called
trigger_build that takes list of GitHub repos to trigger builds for.
The Rake task expects environment variable called GITHUB_API_KEY that contains access token for
GitHub API. Please refer to
GitHub documentation
on how to generate one. For security reasons, we recommend to not include this token in your
source code repository. Instead, add a secure variable with the same name to the shippable.yml.
The configuration will be exported to Heroku in after_success step.
Supplied shippable.yml file adds Heroku Scheduler add-on, so you can define when and how to trigger the builds.
For example, you may add the following command in Heroku Scheduler dashboard to trigger project from
repository Shippable/shippable-build-trigger:
rake trigger_build[Shippable/build-trigger]
To trigger multiple builds, separate repository names with space, enclosing the argument in quotes:
rake "trigger_build[Shippable/build-trigger Shippable/sample-ruby-mongo-heroku]"
You can check for results of the script execution by running heroku logs.
Please note that the build will be triggered for the master branch.
See Heroku documentation for details on how to use Scheduler.
