GitHub PR Labels Buildkite Plugin

Retrieve the labels associated with a GitHub Pull Request and publish them as environment variable and/or build meta-data.

Multiple labels will appear as comma-separated values.

Pre-requisites for private repositories

When using with a private repository, a valid GitHub token (PAT) must be provided. It can be provided either inside an environment variable or inside a file. Other plugins can be used before this plugin to set up the token.

Examples

Publish the labels as environment variable (public repository)

The comma-separated list of labels will be published in the PULL_REQUEST_LABELS environment variable. The variable is accessible to all subsequent commands and plugins within the same step.

steps:
  - command: echo $$PULL_REQUEST_LABELS
    plugins:
      - sv-oss/github-pr-labels#v0.0.2:
          publish-env-var: PULL_REQUEST_LABELS

Publish the labels as environment variable (private repository)

In this example a valid GitHub token has been pre-loaded inside the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable

The comma-separated list of labels will be published in the PULL_REQUEST_LABELS environment variable. The variable is accessible to all subsequent commands and plugins within the same step.

steps:
  - command: echo $$PULL_REQUEST_LABELS
    plugins:
      - sv-oss/github-pr-labels#v0.0.2:
          token-from:
            env: GITHUB_TOKEN
          publish-env-var: PULL_REQUEST_LABELS

Publish the labels as build meta-data (private repository)

In this example a valid GitHub token has been pre-loaded inside the /etc/github/token file

The comma-separated list of labels will be available in the pull-request-labels meta-data key. The meta-data key is accessible on all subsequent steps of the pipeline.

steps:
  - command: buildkite-agent meta-data get pull-request-labels
    plugins:
      - sv-oss/github-pr-labels#v0.0.2:
          token-from:
            file: /etc/github/token
          publish-metadata-key: pull-request-labels
  - wait: ~
  - command: buildkite-agent meta-data get pull-request-labels
