The Spring Framework uses Concourse for its CI build and other automated tasks. The Spring team has a dedicated Concourse instance available at https://ci.spring.io with a build pipeline for Spring Framework 5.3.x.
If you’re part of the Spring Framework project on GitHub, you can get access to CI management features. First, you need to go to https://ci.spring.io and install the client CLI for your platform (see bottom right of the screen).
You can then login with the instance using:
$ fly -t spring login -n spring-framework -c https://ci.spring.io
Once logged in, you should get something like:
$ fly ts
name url team expiry
spring https://ci.spring.io spring-framework Wed, 25 Mar 2020 17:45:26 UTC
The build pipelines are described in pipeline.yml
file.
This file is listing Concourse resources, i.e. build inputs and outputs such as container images, artifact repositories, source repositories, notification services, etc.
It also describes jobs (a job is a sequence of inputs, tasks and outputs); jobs are organized by groups.
The pipeline.yml
definition contains parameters
which are loaded from the parameters.yml
file or from our credhub instance.
You’ll find in this folder the following resources:
-
pipeline.yml
the build pipeline -
parameters.yml
the build parameters used for the pipeline -
images/
holds the container images definitions used in this pipeline -
scripts/
holds the build scripts that ship within the CI container images -
tasks
contains the task definitions used in the mainpipeline.yml
Updating files on the repository is not enough to update the build pipeline, as changes need to be applied.
The pipeline can be deployed using the following command:
$ fly -t spring set-pipeline -p spring-framework-5.3.x -c ci/pipeline.yml -l ci/parameters.yml

This assumes that you have credhub integration configured with the appropriate secrets. |
