Are you able to make releases through CI?

[NickLarsenNZ]

It is very difficult to use dep in our organisation due to overzealous security policies on proxies breaking the git clones.
It would be nice to be able to curl or wget a versioned artifact and be on my way.

[NickLarsenNZ]

I'm willing to help, is there a preferred CI tool you would like to use? Travis/Circle?

[saiprasannasastry]

are you talking about using these tools as an alternative for merge on github or to integrate with terraform official?

[saiprasannasastry]

if it is a replacement of dep i would come back to you in a couple of days

[NickLarsenNZ]

I was referring to building releases on merges to the master branch so that people could directly download the provider binary.

For example, the Okta provider: https://github.com/articulate/terraform-provider-okta/releases
And TravisCI pipeline: https://github.com/articulate/terraform-provider-okta/blob/master/.travis.yml

Personally, replacing dep with Go Modules would be great. Not sure how other's feel.

@saiprasannasastry It is better to have each release artifact as downloadable in release page. we can do that then no need to change dep

[NickLarsenNZ]

I'm thinking we just use:

• TravisCI to run it
• Auto bump the semantic version on master commits (PR merges), for example
• Gox to build the artifacts for each platform
• Goreleaser to push the artifacts back to Github

Since I last commented, Github Actions has become available. I have been using it for other Go projects. Would you be happy for me to breate a PR with some workflows to aid in building and releasing?

You can see some examples here: https://github.com/NickLarsenNZ/terrain/tree/master/.github/workflows

I noticed some merges to master have not been tagged or released.
