docker / go-metrics

Automation of Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) processes is crucial for modern software development, even in libraries like docker/go-metrics. This project does not currently have CI/CD setup. However, below are suggested next steps to implement a CI/CD pipeline using popular tools such as GitHub Actions or GitLab CI.

Suggested Next Steps for CI/CD Setup

  1. Choose a CI/CD Tool: Determine suitable CI/CD tools, e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Travis CI, etc.

  2. Set Up the CI/CD Configuration File:

    • For GitHub Actions, create a new file in .github/workflows/ci.yml.

  3. Define the CI/CD Pipeline: Structure the pipeline to run tests, linting, and building the application.

Example Configuration for GitHub Actions

Create a file at .github/workflows/ci.yml with the following content:

name: CI

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
  pull_request:
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    
    steps:
    - name: Checkout Code
      uses: actions/checkout@v2
      
    - name: Set up Go
      uses: actions/setup-go@v2
      with:
        go-version: '1.19'
        
    - name: Install Dependencies
      run: go mod tidy

    - name: Run Tests
      run: go test ./...

    - name: Lint Code
      run: golangci-lint run ./...

Explanation of the CI/CD Pipeline Steps

  • Checkout Code: This step checks out the code from the repository using an action provided by GitHub.

  • Set up Go: Uses the actions/setup-go action to set the Go version for the build process.

  • Install Dependencies: Runs go mod tidy to ensure all dependencies are resolved and listed correctly, without using -mod=vendor.

  • Run Tests: Executes the command go test ./... to run all tests within the module.

  • Lint Code: Uses a linter, such as golangci-lint, to enforce coding standards and provide feedback on code quality.

Conclusion

Setting up CI/CD for the docker/go-metrics project will significantly improve code quality and streamline contributions by automating the testing and linting processes. By following the outlined steps, a robust CI/CD pipeline can be established.
