Sync with playbooks: install-go-tools, gotestsum, and dynamic versions by lieut-data · Pull Request #192 · mattermost/mattermost-plugin-starter-template

lieut-data · 2023-12-12T22:30:51Z

Summary

This brings into the starter-template a handful of changes originally introduced with Playbooks:

an automatic install-go-tools target that manages a local, versioned copy of any go installed tools needed
adoption of gotestsum for improved go testing semantics
reverting the embedding of plugin.json, restoring make apply, and shifting to a dynamically generated version number based on the nearest tag.

This last point is easier explained by linking to the original PR: mattermost/mattermost-plugin-playbooks#433, but I note that the reason I reverted embedding plugin.json is that this root file is no longer the final source of truth: rather, it's a (big) input into the final manifest that includes the dynamically generated version. Open to different approaches, but either way we don't have to care about checking in the generated manifests: they remain generated and .gitignored.

In this repository, since we have yet to tag a version, any build will result in v0.0.0+<commit hash>. Any build on a tagged version will be vX.Y.Z exactly. And any downstream commit from there would be vX.Y.Z+<short hash> until we tag a new version.

build/manifest/main.go

+	// Update the manifest based on the state of the current commit
+	// Use the first version we find (to prevent causing errors)
+	var version string
+	tags := strings.Fields(BuildTagCurrent)
+	for _, t := range tags {
+		if strings.HasPrefix(t, "v") {
+			version = t
+			break
+		}
+	}
+	if version == "" {
+		if BuildTagLatest != "" {
+			version = BuildTagLatest + "+" + BuildHashShort
+		} else {
+			version = "v0.0.0+" + BuildHashShort
+		}
+	}
+	manifest.Version = strings.TrimPrefix(version, "v")
+
+	// Update the release notes url to point at the latest tag, if present.
+	if BuildTagLatest != "" {
+		manifest.ReleaseNotesURL = manifest.HomepageURL + "releases/tag/" + BuildTagLatest
+	}
+


LGTM 👍

If I understand correctly:

if the current commit matches a tag, then we use that

If not, use the latest tag and append the latest commit hash

If no tag available, use v0.0.0 and append the latest commit hash

Thanks for improving the starter template 🚀

I really like that plugin now own the version of golangci-lint.

What is the impact of this change on CI? AFAIK it also installs a version of golangci-lint. Can we drop that?

See below: uncertain how to roll out these changes to CI without breaking everything. For now, this at least gives the developer a reliable definition of the version in play. Thoughts?

Is there a follow up ticket to actually use the target in CI?

Not at the moment, but I'm a bit blurry on how to achieve that -- it looks like we import @main, which would make whatever changes we add there affect all plugins at the same time, vs. plugins opting in to updated CI incrementally. Not sure how to crack this nut: thoughts?

Maybe it's time to move to hand-picked CI versions. We have been bitten by the auto-update of @main way too often. Espcecially, updates to golangci-lint caused issues in the past.

@mickmister Would you be open to owning that change? Brightscout could surely help with executing it.

Do we actually need to install the binary? Or is

Suggested change

$(GO) install github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/cmd/golangci-lint@v1.51.1

$(GO) run github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/cmd/golangci-lint@v1.51.1

enough?

Oh, that would be convenient! But unfortunately much slower it seems?

Well, the added duration comes from checking the remote go modules DB. The increase is similar running go install.

One downside of go run is, that it errors if the machine is offline.

Ah, you're right: I wasn't comparing apples to apples as I thought!
