cbtctl

cbtctl

A CLI tool for GCP Cloud Build Triggers

Usage

Run a build trigger with substitutions

$ cbtctl run --project <GCP Project Name> --trigger <Trigger Name> --substitutions "_VAR=val"

On Cloud Build

By making cbtctl container connect to the network provided by Cloud Build, we can use cbtctl even on the Cloud Build.

Example cloudbuild.yaml:

steps:
    - name: gcr.io/cloud-builders/docker:19.03.9
      args:
          - run
          - --rm
          - --network
          - cloudbuild
          - 110y/cbtctl:0.0.1
          - run
          - --project=<GCP Project Name>
          - --trigger=<Trigger Name>
          - --substitutions="VAR=val"

Motivation

While gcloud have a builds triggers subcommand which controls the build triggers, not all build triggers features are supported by gcloud. For example, we can run a build trigger by executing gcloud alpha builds triggers run, however, we can not use the substitutions feature for the build trigger with such gcloud command. That's why I made cbtctl. cbtctl aims to support build triggers features which are not supported by gcloud at this time.
