Current Status of CI/CD Setup

As of the latest update, CI/CD is not yet set up for the stevedunn/oglr project. To implement a CI/CD pipeline, the following steps should be considered for best practices in continuous integration and delivery.

Next Steps to Set Up CI/CD

  1. Choose a CI/CD Tool: Select a CI/CD service like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, CircleCI, or Azure DevOps that fits the project requirements.

  2. Create Configuration Files: Depending on the chosen CI/CD tool, configuration files will need to be created to specify workflows and deployment processes.

Example for GitHub Actions

For GitHub Actions, create a .github/workflows/ci.yml file in the repository.

name: CI

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

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - name: Check out code
      uses: actions/checkout@v2
      
    - name: Set up .NET
      uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v1
      with:
        dotnet-version: '6.0.x'

    - name: Restore dependencies
      run: dotnet restore

    - name: Build
      run: dotnet build --configuration Release --no-restore

    - name: Run Tests
      run: dotnet test --no-build --verbosity normal

    - name: Publish
      run: dotnet publish --configuration Release --output ./output

Example for Azure DevOps

For Azure DevOps, create a azure-pipelines.yml file at the root of your repository.

trigger:
- main

pool:
  vmImage: 'windows-latest'

steps:
- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
  displayName: 'Restore dependencies'
  inputs:
    command: 'restore'
    projects: '**/*.csproj'

- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
  displayName: 'Build'
  inputs:
    command: 'build'
    projects: '**/*.csproj'
    arguments: '--configuration Release --no-restore'

- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
  displayName: 'Run Tests'
  inputs:
    command: 'test'
    projects: '**/*.csproj'
    arguments: '--no-build --verbosity normal'

- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
  displayName: 'Publish'
  inputs:
    command: 'publish'
    projects: '**/*.csproj'
    arguments: '--configuration Release --output $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)'

Implementing Deployment Steps

Once the CI pipelines are established and tested, the next step would be integrating deployment steps. For this, consider using a dedicated deployment tool or extending the existing CI configurations.

Example Deployment Step in GitHub Actions

To deploy using GitHub Actions, you can add a new job to the .github/workflows/ci.yml file to handle deployments.

deploy:
  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
  needs: build
  steps:
  - name: Check out code
    uses: actions/checkout@v2

  - name: Deploy to Server
    run: |
      echo "Deploying..."
      # Add your deployment commands here

Next Steps for Continuous Integration and Deployment

  • Monitor and Iterate: Regularly revisit the CI/CD configurations to ensure they reflect the current requirements of the project.
  • Add Notifications: Implement notifications to inform development staff of build successes or failures.
  • Security and Best Practices: Ensure that secret management and environment configurations follow security best practices.

By following these steps, stevedunn/oglr can establish a robust CI/CD pipeline, facilitating automated builds and deployments, which are essential for efficient development workflows.
