gerritexec is a command line tool listening to gerrit on a designated project. On each new patchset, it will:
- git clone the project
- git pull the patchset
- cd in the git tree and run a script
- positively review the patchset ( +1 ) if the program exit(0)
- negatively review the patchset ( -1 ) otherwise
For instance It can be used to run the integration tests found in the git tree of the stackforge/puppet-ceph project:
GEM_HOME=~/.gems gerritexec --hostname review.openstack.org \
--username puppetceph \
--script ' ( bundle install ; bundle exec rake spec:system ) > /tmp/out 2>&1 ; r=$? ; pastebinit /tmp/out ; exit $r #' \
--project stackforge/puppet-ceph
Larger projects should consider using zuul or a gerrit jenkins plugin.
Using a virgin Ubuntu 12.04.3, it can be installed as follows:
sudo apt-get install python-pip git ruby-bundler libxml2-dev libxslt-dev sudo pip install gerritexec
Assuming the ssh private key for the puppetceph user is found in ~/.ssh/id_rsa and that it is a service user able to review the stackforge/puppet-ceph project, gerritexec can be run as follows:
gerritexec --hostname review.openstack.org \
--verbose \
--username puppetceph \
--script 'bundle exec rake spec:system' \
--project stackforge/puppet-ceph
It is better run from a screen to capture the output generated by –verbose and help with debugging should a problem occur.
