Submit a trigger event
Directly enqueue a trigger event. This is usually used
to manually "replay" a trigger received from an external
source such as gerrit.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--tenant TENANT tenant name
--pipeline PIPELINE pipeline name
--project PROJECT project name
--ref REF ref name
--oldrev OLDREV old revision
--newrev NEWREV new revision
This command is provided to manually simulate a trigger from an
external source. It can be useful for testing or replaying a trigger
that is difficult or impossible to recreate at the source. The
arguments to enqueue-ref will vary depending on the source and
type of trigger. Some familiarity with the arguments emitted by
gerrit update hooks
such as patchset-created and ref-updated is recommended. Some
examples of common operations are provided below.
Manual enqueue examples
It is common to have a release pipeline that listens for new tags
coming from gerrit and performs a range of code packaging jobs.
If there is an unexpected issue in the release jobs, the same tag can
not be recreated in gerrit and the user must either tag a new
release or request a manual re-triggering of the jobs. To re-trigger
the jobs, pass the failed tag as the ref argument and set
newrev to the change associated with the tag in the project
repository (i.e. what you see from git show X.Y.Z):
zuul-client enqueue-ref --tenant openstack --trigger gerrit --pipeline release --project openstack/example_project --ref refs/tags/X.Y.Z --newrev abc123...
The command can also be used asynchronosly trigger a job in a
periodic pipeline that would usually be run at a specific time by
the timer driver. For example, the following command would
trigger the periodic jobs against the current master branch
top-of-tree for a project:
zuul-client enqueue-ref --tenant openstack --trigger timer --pipeline periodic --project openstack/example_project --ref refs/heads/master
Another common pipeline is a post queue listening for gerrit
merge results. Triggering here is slightly more complicated as you
wish to recreate the full ref-updated event from gerrit. For
a new commit on master, the gerrit ref-updated trigger
expresses “reset refs/heads/master for the project from oldrev
to newrev” (newrev being the committed change). Thus to
replay the event, you could git log in the project and take the
current HEAD and the prior change, then enqueue the event:
NEW_REF=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
OLD_REF=$(git rev-parse HEAD~1)
zuul-client enqueue-ref --tenant openstack --trigger gerrit --pipeline post --project openstack/example_project --ref refs/heads/master --newrev $NEW_REF --oldrev $OLD_REF
Note that zero values for oldrev and newrev can indicate
branch creation and deletion; the source code of Zuul is the best reference
for these more advanced operations.
Promote
Note
This command is only available with a valid authentication token.
usage: zuul-client promote [-h] [--tenant TENANT] --pipeline PIPELINE
--changes CHANGES [CHANGES ...]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--tenant TENANT tenant name
--pipeline PIPELINE pipeline name
--changes CHANGES [CHANGES ...]
change ids
This command will push the listed changes at the top of the chosen pipeline.
Example:
zuul-client promote --tenant openstack --pipeline check --changes 12345,1 13336,3
Note that the format of changes id is <number>,<patchset>.
The promote action is used to reorder the change queue in a pipeline, by putting the provided changes at the top of the queue; therefore this action makes the most sense when performed against a dependent pipeline.
The most common use case for the promote action is the need to merge an urgent fix when the gate pipeline has already several patches queued ahead. This is especially needed if there is concern that one or more changes ahead in the queue may fail, thus increasing the time to land for the fix; or concern that the fix may not pass validation if applied on top of the current patch queue in the gate.
If the queue of a dependent pipeline is targeted by the promote, all the ongoing jobs in that queue will be canceled and restarted on top of the promoted changes.
