code-server/ci

ci

This directory contains scripts used for code-server's continuous integration infrastructure.

Some of these scripts contain more detailed documentation and options in header comments.

Any file or directory in this subdirectory should be documented here.

• ./ci/lib.sh
  • Contains code duplicated across these scripts.

Publishing a release

Make sure you have $GITHUB_TOKEN set and hub installed.

1. Update the version of code-server and make a PR.
   1. Update in package.json
   2. Update in ./doc/install.md
   3. Update in ./ci/helm-chart/README.md
      • Remember to update the chart version as well on top of appVersion in Chart.yaml.
2. GitHub actions will generate the npm-package, release-packages and release-images artifacts.
   1. You do not have to wait for these.
3. Run yarn release:github-draft to create a GitHub draft release from the template with the updated version.
   1. Summarize the major changes in the release notes and link to the relevant issues.
4. Wait for the artifacts in step 2 to build.
5. Run yarn release:github-assets to download the release-packages artifact.
   • It will upload them to the draft release.
6. Run some basic sanity tests on one of the released packages.
   • Especially make sure the terminal works fine.
7. Make sure the github release tag is the commit with the artifacts. This is a bug in hub where uploading assets in step 5 will break the tag.
8. Publish the release and merge the PR.
   1. CI will automatically grab the artifacts and then:
      1. Publish the NPM package from npm-package.
      2. Publish the Docker Hub image from release-images.
9. Update the AUR package.
   • Instructions on updating the AUR package are at cdr/code-server-aur.
10. Wait for the npm package to be published.
11. Update the homebrew package.
    • Send a pull request to homebrew-core with the URL in the formula updated.
