Continuous Integration

Generally, using Hermit in CI is similar to using it locally - activate your environment via . ./bin/activate-hermit, add <repo>/bin to your $PATH, or use ./bin/hermit env to directly update your CI environment.

GitHub Actions

Using Hermit in GitHub Actions is straightforward. Just add the following step to each job:

      - name: Init Hermit
        uses: cashapp/activate-hermit@v1

eg.

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master
  pull_request:
name: CI
jobs:
  test:
    name: Test
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Init Hermit
        uses: cashapp/activate-hermit@v1
      - name: Test
        run: go test ./...

Jenkins

Here’s an example Jenkinsfile to use Hermit inside Jenkins:

pipeline {
  agent any

  stages {
    stage('Do stuff') {
      environment {
        hermitEnvVars = sh(returnStdout: true, script: './bin/hermit env --raw').trim()
      }

      steps {
        withEnv(hermitEnvVars.split('\n').toList()) {
          // now we can use any hermit package directly...
          sh 'go build'
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
