GoCD build status notifier

This is GoCD's Notification plugin that updates SCM with build status.

Supported:

• GitHub Pull Request status
• Stash Pull Request status
• Gerrit Change Set status

Requirements

These plugins require GoCD version >= v15.x or above

Get Started

Installation:

• Download the latest plugin jar from Releases section. Place it in <go-server-location>/plugins/external & restart Go Server.

Behavior

• Go Server notifies the plugin on every Stage Status Change with relevant details. The plugin scans the build-cause to see if the github.pr / stash.pr / gerrit.cs material is present.
• If it is, then Pull Request/Change Set status is updated with status=stage-result, context=pipeline-name/stage-name & target-url=trackback-url.

Configuration

• You will see Github Pull Requests status notifier / Stash Pull Requests status notifier / Gerrit Change Set status notifier / GitLab Feature Branch status notifier on plugin listing page

• You can configure the plugin (this feature requires GoCD version >= v15.2, use system properties to configure the plugin). The details should be as follows:

  • Server Base URL The URL of your go-server (by default, http://localhost:8153).
  • End Point If using enterprise edition, this needs to be configured for the enterprise endpoint. Else, it can be left blank.
  • Username A Github user with push access to the repository.
  • Password If not using two factor authentication, this is the password for the given Github user. Else, it can be left blank.
  • OAuth Token If using two-factor authentication, provide a personal access toke instead of the password above. Else, it can be left blank.

• When the stage status changes...

• The PR state is updated!

Target URL:

• You can provide trackback through system property go.plugin.build.status.go-server. It defaults to 'http://localhost:8153' if not available. Eg:

-Dgo.plugin.build.status.go-server=http://localhost:8153
