Mercurial Resource

Tracks the commits in a Mercurial repository.

Source Configuration

• uri: Required. The location of the repository.

• branch: The branch to track, defaults to default.

• omit_branch: If set to true, the entire repository history will be cloned. Defaults to false.

• private_key: Optional. Private key to use when pulling/pushing. Example:

  private_key: |
    -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
    MIIEowIBAAKCAQEAtCS10/f7W7lkQaSgD/mVeaSOvSF9ql4hf/zfMwfVGgHWjj+W
    <Lots more text>
    DWiJL+OFeg9kawcUL6hQ8JeXPhlImG6RTUffma9+iGQyyBMCGd1l
    -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
  

• paths: Optional. If specified (as a list of regular expressions), only changes to the specified files will yield new versions from check.

• ignore_paths: Optional. The inverse of paths; changes to the specified files are ignored.

  Note that if you want to push commits that change these files via a put, the commit will still be "detected", as check and put both introduce versions. To avoid this you should define a second resource that you use for commits that change files that you don't want to feed back into your pipeline - think of one as read-only (with ignore_paths) and one as write-only (which shouldn't need it).

• skip_ssl_verification: Optional. Skips git ssl verification by exporting GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true.

• tag_filter: Optional. If specified, the resource will only detect commits that have a tag matching the specified regular expression.

• revset_filter: Optional. If specified, the resource will only detect commits that matches the specified revset expression (see https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/hg/help/revsets).

Example

Resource configuration for a private repo:

resources:
- name: source-code
  type: hg
  source:
    uri: ssh://user@hg.example.com/my-repo
    branch: default
    private_key: |
      -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
      MIIEowIBAAKCAQEAtCS10/f7W7lkQaSgD/mVeaSOvSF9ql4hf/zfMwfVGgHWjj+W
      <Lots more text>
      DWiJL+OFeg9kawcUL6hQ8JeXPhlImG6RTUffma9+iGQyyBMCGd1l
      -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

Pushing local commits to the repo:

- get: some-other-repo
- put: source-code
  params: {repository: some-other-repo}

Behavior

check: Check for new commits.

The repository is cloned (or pulled if already present), and any commits made after the given version are returned. If no version is given, the ref for the head of the branch is returned.

Any commits that contain the string [ci skip] will be ignored. This allows you to commit to your repository without triggering a new version.

in: Clone the repository, at the given ref.

Clones the repository to the destination, and locks it down to a given ref. Returns the resulting ref as the version.

Subrepositories are initialized and updated recursively, as Mercurial does by default.

out: Push to a repository.

Push the checked-out reference to the source's URI and branch. If a fast-forward for the branch is not possible and the rebase parameter is not provided, the push will fail. The tag option can only be used in combination with rebase, as tagging in Mercurial involves adding a new commit. Specifically, out clones the repository and strips all descendants of the checked-out reference, and then adds the tag commit as the new tip.

Parameters

• repository: Required. The path of the repository to push to the source.

• rebase: Optional. If pushing fails with non-fast-forward, continuously attempt rebasing and pushing.

• tag: Optional, requires rebase If this is set then the checked-out reference will be tagged. The value should be a path to a file containing the name of the tag.

• tag_prefix: Optional. If specified, the tag read from the file will be prepended with this string. This is useful for adding v in front of version numbers.

Development

Prerequisites

• golang is required - version 1.9.x is tested; earlier versions may also work.
• docker is required - version 17.06.x is tested; earlier versions may also work.
• godep is used for dependency management of the golang packages.

Running the tests

The tests have been embedded with the Dockerfile; ensuring that the testing environment is consistent across any docker enabled platform. When the docker image builds, the test are run inside the docker container, on failure they will stop the build.

Run the tests with the following command:

docker build -t hg-resource --target tests --build-arg base_image=paketobuildpacks/run-jammy-base:latest .

Contributing

Please make all pull requests to the master branch and ensure tests pass locally.
