version-support-plugin

Gradle plugin to handle project versions.

Experimental.

Usage

To use the plugin you need a git repository with a remote with push permissions for involved branches and tags.

Git Authentication

Token in URL

If your git hosting supports credentials in URLs with a token you may use a suitable remote url. (e.g. github using a token) JGitManager(remoteUri = "https://${GITHUB_TOKEN}@github.com:/path/to/repository.git") The token can be provided as encrypted environment variable.

SSH private key

You need to have a "default" ssh private key without a passphrase at the systems default location. In a continuous integration environment you may achieve that by adding the id_rsa from a (secure) environment variable configured in you CI system.

mkdir -p ~/.ssh
echo "$SSH_PRIVATE_KEY" | tr -d '\r'  > ~/.ssh/id_rsa
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Alternatively you may rely on ssh-agent with native git if available on your build machine.

  which ssh-agent || ( apt-get update -y && apt-get install openssh-client -y )
  eval $(ssh-agent -s)
  mkdir -p ~/.ssh
  echo -n "$SSH_PRIVATE_KEY" | ssh-add - >/dev/null

Git operation

You may either rely on a native git on your build machine or use JGit based implementation that does not require further binaries on you build machine.

build.gralde.kts

plugins {
	// ...
    id("com.namics.oss.gradle.version-support-plugin") version "1.3.0"
}

// ...

// either rely on native git using defaults (default values)
versionSupport {
    git = NativeGitManager(project) 
    majorBranches = emptyList()
    minorBranches = listOf(Regex("""^develop.*"""))
    patchBranches = listOf(Regex("""^hotfix.*"""))
}

// or explicitly configure plugin to use JGit
versionSupport {
    git = JGitManager(
            project = project,
            initialBranch = System.getenv("CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME"),
            remote = "upstream",
            remoteUri = "git@ssh.git.hosting:/path/to/repository.git" )
}

Adds 2 Task the project

  • release: perform a release
  • enforceSnapshotOnBranch: enforces the next snapshot version on the current branch

Invoke:

gradle release
gradle enforceSnapshotOnBranch

Development

Commit Message Format

Each commit message consists of a header, a body and a footer. The header has a special format that includes a type, a scope and a subject:

<type>(<scope>): <subject>
<BLANK LINE>
<body>
<BLANK LINE>
<footer>

Full explanation

The header is mandatory and the scope of the header is optional.

Examples

Appears under "Features" header, pencil subheader:

feat(pencil): add 'graphiteWidth' option

Appears under "Bug Fixes" header, graphite subheader, with a link to issue #28:

fix(graphite): stop graphite breaking when width < 0.1

Closes #28

Revert

If the commit reverts a previous commit, it should begin with revert: , followed by the header of the reverted commit. In the body it should say: This reverts commit <hash>., where the hash is the SHA of the commit being reverted.

Type

If the prefix is feat, fix or perf, it will appear in the changelog. However if there is any BREAKING CHANGE, the commit will always appear in the changelog.

Other prefixes are up to your discretion. Suggested prefixes are docs, chore, style, refactor, and test for non-changelog related tasks.

Scope

The scope could be anything specifying place of the commit change. For example $location, $browser, $compile, $rootScope, ngHref, ngClick, ngView, etc...

Subject

The subject contains succinct description of the change:

  • use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes"
  • don't capitalize first letter
  • no dot (.) at the end

Body

Just as in the subject, use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes". The body should include the motivation for the change and contrast this with previous behavior.

Footer

The footer should contain any information about Breaking Changes and is also the place to reference GitHub issues that this commit Closes.

Breaking Changes should start with the word BREAKING CHANGE: with a space or two newlines. The rest of the commit message is then used for this.
