Build Harness

This build-harness is a collection of Makefiles to facilitate building Golang projects, Dockerfiles, Helm charts, and more. It's designed to work with CI/CD systems such as GitHub Actions, Codefresh, Travis CI, CircleCI and Jenkins.

Regarding the phase out of git.io

Prior to April 25, 2022, practically all Cloud Posse Makefiles pulled in a common Makefile via

curl -sSL -o .build-harness "https://git.io/build-harness"

The git.io service is a link shortener/redirector provided by GitHub, but they no longer support it. We have therefore set up https://cloudposse.tools/build-harness as an alternative and are migrating all our Makefiles to use that URL instead. We encourage you to update any references you have in your own code derived from our code, whether by forking one of our repos or simply following one of our examples.

Full details are available in our git.io deprecation documentation.

This project is part of our comprehensive "SweetOps" approach towards DevOps.

It's 100% Open Source and licensed under the APACHE2.

Usage

At the top of your Makefile add, the following...

-include $(shell curl -sSL -o .build-harness "https://cloudposse.tools/build-harness"; echo .build-harness)

This will download a Makefile called .build-harness and include it at run time. We recommend adding the .build-harness file to your .gitignore.

This automatically exposes many new targets that you can leverage throughout your build & CI/CD process.

Run make help for a list of available targets.

NOTE: the / is interchangable with the : in target names

GitHub Actions

The build-harness is compatible with GitHub Actions.

Here's an example of running make readme/lint

name: build-harness/readme/lint
on: [pull_request]
jobs:
  build:
    name: 'Lint README.md'
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@master
    - uses: cloudposse/build-harness@master
      with:
        entrypoint: /usr/bin/make
        args: readme/lint

Quick Start

Here's how to get started...

1. git clone https://github.com/cloudposse/build-harness.git to pull down the repository
2. make init to initialize the build-harness

Examples

Here are some real world examples:

• github-authorized-keys - A Golang project that leverages docker/%, go/%, travis/% targets
• charts - A collection of Helm Charts that leverages docker/% and helm/% targets
• bastion - A docker image that leverages docker/% and bash/lint targets
• terraform-null-label - A terraform module that leverages terraform/% targets

Extending build-harness with targets from another repo

It is possible to extend the build-harness with targets and entire modules of your own, without having to fork or modify build-harness itself. This might be useful if, for example, you wanted to maintain some tooling that was specific to your environment that didn't have enough general applicability to be part of the main project. This makes it so you don't necessarily need to fork build-harness itself - you can place a repo defined by the environment variable BUILD_HARNESS_EXTENSIONS_PATH (a filesystem peer of build-harness named build-harness-extensions by default) and populate it with tools in the same Makefile within module structure as build-harness has. Modules will be combined and available with a unified make command.

Using the "auto-init" feature

Typically, the build-harness project requires running make init before any of the Makefile targets can be invoked. The init target will "install" the build-harness project and "include" the Makefile from the build-harness project.

Alternatively, the "auto-init" feature can automatically run the init logic for you to install the build-harness and help keep the install up-to-date. This feature is enabled using the env or Makefile variable BUILD_HARNESS_AUTO_INIT=true. By default, this feature is disabled; to enable it, you must set the variable yourself.

Note: The "auto-init" feature is a convenience for running make interactively. Regardless of your setting of BUILD_HARNESS_AUTO_INIT, "auto-init" will be disabled if make is running inside a Docker container. Scripts and automation should continue to call make init explicitly.

BUILD_HARNESS_AUTO_INIT = true

-include $(shell curl -sSL -o .build-harness "https://cloudposse.tools/build-harness"; echo .build-harness)

The "auto-init" feature will also keep the install up-to-date. It will check the value of BUILD_HARNESS_BRANCH, get the commit ID, compare that to the current checkout, and update the clone if they differ. A useful side-effect is that it becomes easy to pin to versions of the build-harness from your own project, and let the build-harness update itself as you update the pin:

BUILD_HARNESS_AUTO_INIT = true
BUILD_HARNESS_BRANCH = {TAG}

-include $(shell curl -sSL -o .build-harness "https://cloudposse.tools/build-harness"; echo .build-harness)

Now when you run make the project will update itself to use the version specified by the BUILD_HARNESS_BRANCH value:

GIT.IO DEPRECATION

On April 25, 2022, GitHub announced that the git.io redirector service would be shutting down on 2022-04-29, merely 4 days later. The announcement said that all references to git.io would stop working that day.

This was a major breaking change for Cloud Posse, because all of our standard Makefiles include a Makefile from this build-harness project explicitly, by downloading (via curl) https://git.io/build-harness, meaning all our Makefiles would break once that link stopped redirecting to the appropriate content.

Cloud Posse quickly set up https://cloudposse.tools/build-harness as a long-term replacement for git.io and undertook an emergency update of all of our repositories to make this change.

While we were largely successful in updating our repositories by 2022-04-29, Cloud Posse was not fully prepared to make the mass updates across all of our repositories that this required, so some repositories were not updated in time. Furthermore, even if all of Cloud Posse's repositories were updated, that would not affect anyone's fork or clone or locally checked-out version, so we are publishing the instructions below to help you update your own code.

Fortunately, GitHub recognized the massive upheaval and loss that would be caused by completely shutting down an URL shorting/link redirecting service, and reversed their decision to shut down git.io completely. Instead, they agreed to archive the links and continue to serve existing links indefinitely, with the caveat that they would remove links on a case-by-case basis if they were found to be malicious, misleading, or broken.

This means that instead of being an urgent requirement that you immediately change your links, or else your builds would break, it is now merely a recommended best practice that you update to the new link that Cloud Posse controls and is committed to maintaining.

Specifically, in source files you control, you should update all references to git.io/build-harness to instead refer to cloudposse.tools/build-harness. Critical references are in Makefiles, and there are also important references in README files that describe Makefiles. References in derived or downloaded files, such as Terraform modules downloaded by terraform init, do not need to be modified. Below we provide guidance on how to make the replacements.

Automating the update process

In all cases, these commands are intended to be run from a directory at the top of the directory tree under which all your potentially affected code resides. Usually either the top-level directory of a single git repo or a src (or similar) directory under which you have all your git repos (directly or in subdirectories).

Finding affected files

Use the following command to find all occurrences in all directories recursively:

grep -l "git\.io/build-harness" -R .

Note that the above command can reach very deeply, such as into Terraform modules you have downloaded. You may want to impose some limits. If you run from the top level of a git repo, where there is a Makefile and a Dockerfile, you can reduce that to

grep -l "git\.io/build-harness" *

If you have a lot of Cloud Posse projects under a single directory, then you might try

grep -l "git\.io/build-harness" * */*

or for full depth below the current directory

find . \( -name .terraform -prune -type f \)  -o \( -name build-harness -prune -type f \) -o \( -name 'Makefile*' -o -name 'README*' \) -type f

Updating the affected files

Once you are happy with the command to generate the list of files to update, update the files by inserting that command into this command template:

sed -i '' 's/git.io\/build-harness/cloudposse.tools\/build-harness/' $(<command to list files>)

Samples

The quickest update will be if you only have a single project to update, in which case you can cd into the project root directory and

sed -i '' 's/git.io\/build-harness/cloudposse.tools\/build-harness/' $(grep -l "git\.io/build-harness" *)

If you have multiple projects to update and want to be thorough, then this is probably best:

sed -i '' 's/git.io\/build-harness/cloudposse.tools\/build-harness/' $(find . \( -name .terraform -prune -type f \)  -o \( -name build-harness -prune -type f \) -o \( -name 'Makefile*' -o -name 'README*' \) -type f )

This is the most thorough, but probably overkill for most people:

sed -i '' 's/git.io\/build-harness/cloudposse.tools\/build-harness/' $(grep -l "git\.io/build-harness" -R .)
