Template: Semantic Release

A template that performs a semantic-release for NPM-based modules, using the semantic-release NPM module.

Usage

Secrets

The following secrets are needed in order to execute correctly:

• NPM_TOKEN - NPM token. Used for publishing the updated version to the NPM Registry.
• GH_TOKEN - Github token. Used for tagging the correct commit SHA with the respective version.

Example

# screwdriver.yaml
---
jobs:
  main:
    secrets:
    # These secrets are defined in the Pipeline page
    - NPM_TOKEN
    - GH_TOKEN
    template: screwdriver-cd/semantic-release@stable

What the Template Does

This template executes the following steps:

• check_prerequisite
• install_binaries
• publish

check_prerequisite

This step ensures that the NPM_TOKEN and GH_TOKEN secret variables are all set. However, this step does not verify nor validate the values; it only checks that they are populated.

install_binaries

This step installs the necessary binaries and libraries in order to perform all the template operations.

Overriding this step may cause unwanted side effects during the publish.

publish

This step is what performs the semantic release operations via the semantic-release NPM module.
