Application Release Process

When merging to the develop branch, the CIIP application is continuously deployed to our development environment at https://dev.ciip.gov.bc.ca/. This document describes the steps required to deploying the application to our test (QA) and production environments.

1 Release Pull Request

  • 1.1 Create a chore/release branch
  • 1.2 From the root of the repository, run ./app/node_modules/.bin/standard-version. This will generate the changelog, increase the version number following semantic versioning, commit the changes and tag that commit.
  • 1.3 note the version number printed by standard-version (referred to as &<version> below)
  • 1.4 run cd schema/ && sqitch tag v<version> -m "release v<version>"
  • 1.5 In helm/cas-ciip-portal/Chart.yaml, set appVersion to <version>, and increase the version patch number.
  • 1.6 Commit with the chore(release) commit type.
  • 1.7 Push using git push --follow-tags
  • 1.8 Create a pull request from chore/release to develop.
  • 1.9 On approval and when checks have passed, merge the pull request before proceeding to the release CI workflow.

Possible improvements

Steps 1.2 could automate 1.3 to 1.6. See https://github.com/conventional-changelog/standard-version#can-i-use-standard-version-for-additional-metadata-files-languages-or-version-files

2 Release CI workflow

  • 2.1 Go to https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/bcgov/cas-ciip-portal?branch=develop
  • 2.2 Manually approve the release_approval job in the latest release workflow.
  • 2.3 Once the release workflow has passed, the merge to master must be done locally:
    • pull from develop (if the release PR was merged using the Github UI)
    • checkout master and pull to ensure your local master is up to date
    • git merge develop --ff-only to fast-forward the master branch
    • git push origin master
  • 2.4 The CIIP application should be ready to be deployed to the test and productions environment via https://cas-shipit.apps.silver.devops.gov.bc.ca/
  • 2.5 Add a CIIP <version> tag to the YouTrack cards corresponding to the commits being released.
