Description

Create a new CloudBuild resource that allows users to define submit an actual cloud build job.

The existing google_cloudbuild_trigger allows a user to create a trigger but theres no way to define a build step and submit the job.

eg, in gcloud cli, you can define and submit a job

• cloudbuild.yaml

steps:
- name: gcr.io/cloud-builders/curl
  id: httpbin
  args: ['-v', 'https://httpbin.org/get']

gcloud builds submit  --config cloudbuild.yaml

New or Affected Resource(s)

• google_cloudbuild

Potential Terraform Configuration

  provider "google" {}

  resource "google_cloudbuild" "test-build" {
    build  {
        step  {
            name = "gcr.io/cloud-builders/gcloud"
            entrypoint = "sh"
            args = ["-c", "echo hi"]
        }
    }  
  }

References

Note, the existing google_cloudbuild_trigger includes parsing logic for the Build structure in resource_cloud_build_trigger

https://cloud.google.com/cloud-build/docs/api/reference/rest/v1/projects.triggers/create
   >>   
 "build": {
    object (Build)
  },

which is the build structure used while defining and submitting a job

i've gotten a very basic sample working here after adding in a new "resource" type to the existing google_cloudbuild_trigger. Basically, resource type will submit a job like this

resource "google_cloudbuild_builds" "builder" {
  provider = google-beta-local
  project = var.project_id
  location = "global"

  steps {    
        name = "gcr.io/cloud-builders/curl"
        id = "fetch"
        args = ["-v", "-H", "Metadata-Flavor: Google", "https://httpbin.org/get"]
  }
  steps {    
        name = "gcr.io/cloud-builders/docker"
        id = "buildstep"
        args = ["build", "-t", "gcr.io/$PROJECT_ID/testimage", "."]
        wait_for = ["fetch"]
  }
  images = ["gcr.io/$PROJECT_ID/testimage"]
  
  
  source {
    storage_source {
      bucket = google_storage_bucket.build-bucket.name
      object = google_storage_bucket_object.archive.name
    }
  }
   
}

however, the usecase i had is really very unique: i just wanted to create an automated tutorial which creates actual resources (project,vm, etc) and then build some code vial cloud builder andthen deploy it to a VM. At the moment, i used local_exec to submit gcloud commands.

in the end, though i submitted this FR, its for this usecase only and i can't think of really any other use for making terraform manage cloud builds (its not a 'resource' terraform should manage).

If you do have other usecases for this, pls add it to this FR since i'm unsure if this should be kept open after all.

Closing this, as it seems to be a job resource.
