Hi,
Thank you all for your helpful comments - I have written them down in my
notebook to make sure that I can retain what I've learned here. The
authentication problem is fixed, it seems that there may have been a
whitespace in there. Have used a GOCD token which works.
My next problem is "Permission denied". I had originally thought this meant
that my authentication was wrong, but after I went thru and put the new
token in and checked, it seems that the auth isn't the main problem. I am
running a script to pull the pipelines from a group, and to approve all of
them (if they haven't been approved already). If you guys have some free
time, could I please ask for your help on this?
*My first script (pushGames.sh):*
#! /bin/bash
curl "https:// {companyName}
/go/api/admin/pipeline_groups/${PIPELINE_GROUP}" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${GOCD_ACCESS_TOKEN}" \
-H 'Accept: application/vnd.go.cd.v1+json' \
| jq -r '.pipelines[] | select(.name | contains("Games-")).name' >
testEnvGamesList.txt
cat testEnvGamesList.txt | while read line
do
echo The current pipeline is: $line
./gocd/game-deploy/pushOneGame.sh $line
done
rm testEnvGamesList.txt
*My second script (pushOneGame.sh):*
#! /bin/bash
fetchPipelineHistory=$( curl " {companyName}
/go/api/stages/$1/Approve/history" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${GOCD_ACCESS_TOKEN}" \
-H 'Accept: application/vnd.go.cd.v2+json')
getResultOfCurrentStage=$( echo $fetchPipelineHistory | jq -r
'.stages[].result')
counter=$( echo $fetchPipelineHistory | jq -r '.stages[0].counter')
if [ "$getResultOfCurrentStage" != "Passed" ]
then
echo "https:// {companyName} /go/api/stages/$1/$counter/Approve/run"
curl "https:// {companyName} /go/api/stages/$1/$counter/Approve/run" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${GOCD_ACCESS_TOKEN}" \
-H 'X-GoCD-Confirm: true' \
-H 'Accept: application/vnd.go.cd.v2+json' \
-X POST
fi
I am running these in the task config:
Command: /bin/sh
Arguments: ./{companyName}/game-deploy/pushGames.sh
Both scripts are in the game-deploy folder.
When running this in VS Code (I have it set up to use LF for my end of line
so should work with GOCD and Bash), it works. In VScode, I run the
"pushOneGame.sh" script, replacing $1 with the name of one pipeline. This
works. However, when leaving it as code inside GOCD, it gives me the
"permission denied". What did I miss here? I went to Admin > Security >
Role config and checked that I was assigned the dev role. There is a
message saying the plugins do not support role based authorization. Does
this mean I need to request to be given Admin role to check?
@fenn, thanks for linking me to some learning resources, I've saved them
and will try to look into them when I am not on work hours.
Cheers,
Gabes.
