GOPATH Checkout Buildkite Plugin Build status

A Buildkite plugin for running Go code directly on your agent machines. It does this by setting the $GOPATH, and checking out your project into the correct directory structure.

See also the golang-build plugin.

Example

The following pipeline will ensure the project is checked out into the correct $GOPATH/src directory before running the go test command:

steps:
  - command: go test
    plugins:
      - gopath-checkout#v2.0.0:
          import: github.com/my-org/my-project

Configuration

import

The import path to use when the project is checked out. For example, if you develop in $GOPATH/src/github.com/my-org/my-project then the import option should be github.com/my-org/my-project.

  • ✅ Fully supported (all combinations of attributes have been tested to pass)
  • ⚠️ Partially supported (some combinations cause errors/issues)
  • ❌ Not supported

Developing

To run testing, shellchecks and plugin linting use use bk run with the Buildkite CLI.

bk run

Or if you want to run just the tests, you can use the docker Plugin Tester:

docker run --rm -ti -v "${PWD}":/plugin buildkite/plugin-tester:latest

Roadmap

  • Prepend to existing $GOPATHs instead of replacing
