octopus-deploy

Node script to create a release within Octopus Deploy, and optionally also deploys that release.
This package uses the Octopus Deploy REST API.

https://github.com/OctopusDeploy/OctopusDeploy-Api/wiki

This module was specifically created in order to initiate a release and deploy from a linux machine.

The primary usage was to be able to call it via the command line, but you could also use it as a library as well.

Command Line Usage

Install it globally...

npm install octopus-deploy -g

Create Release

Here is an example of creating a release (make into one line)

octopus-deploy-create-release 
    --host=https://deploy.mycompany.com 
    --apiKey=ABC-123 
    --projectSlugOrId=my-project
    --version=0.0.0-test-node-od-1 
    --releaseNotes="Test release notes"

Create Release and Deploy

Here is an example of creating a release, then deploying that release (make into one line)

comments and variables are optional

octopus-deploy-create-release-and-deploy 
    --host=https://deploy.mycompany.com 
    --apiKey=ABC-123 
    --projectSlugOrId=my-project
    --version=0.0.0-test-node-od-1 
    --releaseNotes="Test release notes"
    --environmentName="DEV-SERVER"
    --comments="Automated Deploy to DEV-SERVER as post-build step"
    --variables="{\"SourceDir\": \"\\\\\\\\SOURCESERVER\\\\MyProject\\\\0.0.0-test-node-od-1 \"}"

Library Usage

If you are looking to use it as a library, you are probably looking to install it locally.

npm install octopus-deploy

This module tries to use promises whenever possible, specifically bluebird promises.

Setup Client

var OctoDeployApi = require('octopus-deploy');

var config = {
    host: 'https://deploy.mycompany.com',
    apiKey: 'ABC-123' // This is used to authorize against the REST Api
};

var client = new OctoDeployApi(config);

Helper

Simple - Create Release And Deploy

The same package version will be used for all deployment steps. This depends on there existing a package of the specified version for ALL the packages referenced by the steps.

// Release Information
var projectIdOrSlug = 'my-project-name';
var version = '1.0.0-rc.3';
var releaseNotes = 'Release notes for testing';
var packageVersion = version;

// Deployment Information
var environmentName = 'DEV-SERVER';
var comments = 'Deploy releases-123 to DEVSERVER1';
// Form Value Example: Source Directory
var variables = {
    'SourceDir': '\\\\SOURCESERVER\\MyProject\\1.0.0-rc-3'
};

// Create Deployment
var deploymentPromise = client.helper.simpleCreateReleaseAndDeploy(
    projectIdOrSlug, version, releaseNotes, environmentName, comments, variables, packageVersion);
    
// Print out deployment
deploymentPromise.then(function(deployment) {
    console.log('Octopus release created and deployed:');
    console.log(deployment);
}, function(reason) {
    console.log('Octopus release creation or deployment falied!');
    console.log(reason);
});

Release

Create

Selected packages for the deployment steps are specified more explicitly. For more information refer to this Octopus support issue.

var projectIdOrSlug = 'my-project-name';
var version = '1.0.0-rc.3';
var releaseNotes = 'Release notes for testing';
var selectedPackages = 
    [{
        "StepName": "My octopus process first step",
        "Version": "1.0.0.0"
    }, {
        "StepName": "My octopus process second step",
        "Version": "1.0.2-rc.1"
    }];

releasePromise = client.release.create(projectIdOrSlug, version, releaseNotes, selectedPackages);

releasePromise.then(function (release) {
    console.log('Octopus release Created:');
    console.log(release);
}, function(reason) {
    console.log('Octopus release creation falied!');
    console.log(reason);
});

Other

Other methods are exposed but I didn't want to take the time to document them right now. You can find them in the .\lib folder. Notice not all resource/methods are implemented (Feel free to fork and submit pull request for your needs).

• deployment
• environment
• helper (custom mashup of multiple calls)
• project
• process
• release
• variable

Testing

This project uses gulp for running tests. All tests reside in the .\test folder.

To run tests...

gulp test

To run tests in a TDD mode with a watch...

gulp dev

TODO

There are a few error cases that do not have test cases right now.

Contributing

If there are other API functions you need, feel free to fork the project, submit a pull request, and I'll try to keep up to date.
