Overview

The slimtoolkit/slim project currently does not have a CI/CD pipeline fully set up. However, several scripts exist that can facilitate automation during the development and testing process. This documentation details the available scripts and provides a step-by-step guide on how to leverage these tools to automate the CI/CD pipeline for the project.

Existing Scripts

The following scripts are available in the scripts/ directory and can be utilized effectively to automate parts of the CI/CD process:

• scripts/install-slim.sh: This script installs the Slim toolkit.

• scripts/uninstall-slim.sh: This script uninstalls the Slim toolkit if required.

• scripts/src.build.sh: Compiles the source code.

• scripts/src.test.sh: Runs tests across the source code. It adheres to build constraints for “e2e” tests, ensuring proper execution of end-to-end test cases.

• scripts/src.fmt.sh: Formats the source code according to Go conventions.

• scripts/src.inspect.sh: Inspects the codebase for potential issues.

• scripts/src.cleanup.sh: Cleans up artifacts and temporary files generated during build or test executions.

• scripts/tools.get.sh: Retrieves necessary tools or dependencies for the project.

Step-by-Step Guide to Automate CI/CD

Step 1: Set Up the Development Environment

Before automating the CI/CD process, ensure that the necessary tools are in place. Utilize the following command to install the Slim toolkit:

bash scripts/install-slim.sh

Step 2: Build the Project

To compile the project, leverage the src.build.sh script:

bash scripts/src.build.sh

This script compiles the Go code located in the project, ensuring no -mod=vendor is used, adhering to Go module management best practices.

Step 3: Run Tests

Testing is essential in CI/CD. Execute the tests using the src.test.sh script. This script considers the build constraints defined for certain test files:

bash scripts/src.test.sh

Ensure that the appropriate environment variables are set if specific configurations are needed for the tests.

Step 4: Code Formatting and Inspection

To maintain code quality, incorporate formatting and inspection in your CI/CD pipeline. You can run:

bash scripts/src.fmt.sh
bash scripts/src.inspect.sh

These scripts will ensure that the code adheres to style guidelines and checks for any potential issues.

Step 5: Clean Up Resources

Post execution of the build and tests, it is a best practice to clean up any temporary files or artifacts using:

bash scripts/src.cleanup.sh

Step 6: Continuous Integration Configuration

To facilitate automated runs of the steps above, configure a CI tool (such as GitHub Actions or CircleCI) where the scripts can be referenced as part of the CI pipeline configuration. For example, in a GitHub Actions YAML file, it would look like:

name: CI

on: [push, pull_request]

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: '1.16.x'

      - name: Install Slim
        run: bash scripts/install-slim.sh
        
      - name: Build
        run: bash scripts/src.build.sh
        
      - name: Run tests
        run: bash scripts/src.test.sh
        
      - name: Format code
        run: bash scripts/src.fmt.sh
        
      - name: Inspect code
        run: bash scripts/src.inspect.sh
        
      - name: Cleanup
        run: bash scripts/src.cleanup.sh

Next Steps

To fully implement the CI/CD pipeline for the slimtoolkit/slim project, consider the following:

• Integrating with a CI/CD platform (e.g., GitHub Actions, Travis CI).
• Implementing notifications for build and test results.
• Defining deployment strategies if applicable.

By following these steps and utilizing the available scripts, automation can be incrementally introduced into the slimtoolkit/slim project, improving efficiency and reliability for continuous integration and deployment processes.
