jervis 2.0 - Jun 27th, 2023

This is a new major release. From an end user perspective, all behavior for 1.x and 0.x YAML files is still supported. However, there are major API changes which warrant bumping the major to warn integrators who may be using code.

Migrating code

You can use GNU sed to migrate code. The following is a sedfile of expressions.

s/ \+$//
s/pipelineGeneratorTest/PipelineGeneratorTest/g
s/platformValidatorTest/PlatformValidatorTest/g
s/lifecycleGeneratorTest/LifecycleGeneratorTest/g
s/toolchainValidatorTest/ToolchainValidatorTest/g
s/jervisConfigsTest/JervisConfigsTest/g
s/lifecycleValidatorTest/LifecycleValidatorTest/g
s/lintJenkinsVarsTest/LintJenkinsVarsTest/g
s/securityIOTest/SecurityIOTest/g
s/pipelineGenerator/PipelineGenerator/g
s/lifecycleValidator/LifecycleValidator/g
s/toolchainValidator/ToolchainValidator/g
s/lifecycleGenerator/LifecycleGenerator/g
s/platformValidator/PlatformValidator/g
s/securityIO/SecurityIO/g
s/net\.gleske\.jervis\.lang\.[Ll]ifecycleGenerator\([ .]getObjectValue\)/net.gleske.jervis.tools.YamlOperator\1/g
s/generator\.getObjectValue/net.gleske.jervis.tools.YamlOperator.getObjectValue/g

Usage of the sedfile is the following.

find * -type f -name '*.groovy' -exec sed -i -f /tmp/sedfile {} +

Manually search for and change the following methods. See Major API changes
section for details.

# change id_rsa_keysize usage to rsa_keysize
grep -r '\([gs]et\)\{0,1\}[Ii]d_rsa_keysize' *

Several Jenkins shared pipline vars have been converted to NonCPS. This means upstream admin* functions must also be changed to NonCPS. The following is an example of a NonCPS var.

@NonCPS
def call() {
    // this method is NonCPS JIT compiled
}

If you define admin* vars you'll have to convert them to NonCPS. The following is a list of vars now requiring NonCPS annotation.

Migrating JSON to YAML

platforms, lifecycles, and toolchains have migrated from JSON to YAML. Users tend to define these files themselves. As a result, a migration script has been created. Run the migration script for your given prefix.

Major API changes

The following classes have been renamed.

Old name for imports New name for imports
net.gleske.jervis.lang.lifecycleGenerator net.gleske.jervis.lang.LifecycleGenerator
net.gleske.jervis.lang.lifecycleValidator net.gleske.jervis.lang.LifecycleValidator
net.gleske.jervis.lang.pipelineGenerator net.gleske.jervis.lang.PipelineGenerator
net.gleske.jervis.lang.platformValidator net.gleske.jervis.lang.PlatformValidator
net.gleske.jervis.lang.toolchainValidator net.gleske.jervis.lang.ToolchainValidator
net.gleske.jervis.tools.securityIO net.gleske.jervis.tools.SecurityIO

The following methods and fields have been renamed or removed.

Class Old method name New method name
LifecycleValidator load_JSON() loadYamlFile()
LifecycleValidator load_JSONString() loadYamlString()
PlatformValidator load_JSON() loadYamlFile()
PlatformValidator load_JSONString() loadYamlString()
SecurityIO getId_rsa_keysize() getRsa_keysize()
SecurityIO setId_rsa_keysize() Removed
SecurityIO id_rsa_keysize Removed
ToolchainValidator load_JSON() loadYamlFile()
ToolchainValidator load_JSONString() loadYamlString()

The following methods have moved.

Method Old class New class
getObjectValue net.gleske.jervis.lang.LifecycleGenerator net.gleske.jervis.tools.YamlOperator

Warnings:

  • Support for all vendors of JDK 1.8 is dropped in this release.
  • OpenJDK11 or OpenJDK17 is build runtime and OpenJDK8 is the bytecode compatibility going forward to match the Jenkins project. Groovy 2.4 does not support higher than OpenJDK8 bytecode.
  • Function getJervisYamlFiles(String owner, String repository) within class net.gleske.jervis.remotes.GitHubGraphQL used to default to master branch. It now defaults to main branch.
  • Function getJervisYamlFiles(String repositoryWithOwner) within class net.gleske.jervis.remotes.GitHubGraphQL used to default to master branch. It now defaults to main branch.

New features:

Pipeline DSL scripts changes in the vars/ folder

  • Jervis steps read from platforms, lifecycles, and toolchains YAML instead of JSON.
  • Matrix building nodes reordered so it is wrapped in stages.
  • New hasGlobalResource() step which can be used to conditionally load resources from libraryResource step. Allows a pipeline developer to only call libraryResource if it exists. Normally libraryResource step will throw an exception if the step doesn't exist. This is a fully NonCPS step and can be called from other NonCPS code blocks.
  • New getBuildContextMap() which returns information about the current running pipeline such as how it was triggered, which part of Git workflow, and other meta info.
  • New getJervisPipelineGenerators() which can read multiple repositories and return .jervis.yml pipeline objects for each repository in one API call.
  • isBuilding() more reliable now that it is built into Jervis with unit tests. Several bugs were fixed while reaching 100% test coverage.
  • loadCustomResource() has some new behavior. It first loads adminLibraryResource, then checks for the resource in the global config files plugin, and finally falls back to libraryResource. It can also skip looking for adminLibraryResource via a new boolean option: 
    // skip loading adminLibraryResource
loadCustomResource('resource-name', true)
  • The following vars are now fully NonCPS. These vars can be called from within other NonCPS annotated methods in shared pipelines.

Jervis API changes in src/ folder

  • net.gleske.jervis.remotes.GitHubGraphQL has a new sendGQL method. variables are now supported as a Map in addition to a String. The Map will be automatically converted to a String before being sent to GitHub as a query.
  • HashiCorp Vault support classes available. This will eventually lead to better native pipeline integration with Vault.
    • VaultService class provides an easy to use communication class to KV Secrets Engine v1 and v2. AppRole authentication is recommended but any TokenCredential type can be used.
    • AppRole authentication provided by VaultAppRoleCredential. It automatically renews leases and rotates credentials as leases run out. By default AppRole role_id and secret_id are resolved from VaultRoleIdCredentialImpl, but custom credential resolver can be implented on VaultRoleIdCredential interface.
  • Extend net.gleske.jervis.remotes.StaticMocking test class to support recording mock API responses while calling Jervis dependent code.
  • SimpleRestServiceSupport class changes. All REST services provided in net.gleske.jervis.remotes.* have new behaviors.
    • New HTTP header available on all REST services. Setting the Parse-JSON HTTP header on any REST service will override its default behavior. It can force-parse JSON or it can force returning plain text for JSON APIs instead of parsed JSON objects.
    • The default API response for SimpleRestService ias changed from a Map to a String. This means if there's no content response an empty String will be returned regardless of JSON parsing for the API. This used to return an empty HashMap.
  • More flexibility has been added to static method net.gleske.jervis.remotes.SimpleRestService.apiFetch().
  • Enhancements in net.gleske.jervis.tools.SecurityIO
    • Converted multiple functions to static to ease their use.
    • Added AES-256 encryption functions.
    • Added RS256 aglorithm for data signing and verification.
    • Added GitHub JSON Web Token (JWT) creation and verification support.
    • Added generic JWT verification.
    • avoidTimingAttack() static function available with usage documentation.
    • getRsa_keysize() always returns the calculated key size if any.
  • Enhancements in net.gleske.jervis.remotes.GitHub
    • Added support for adding headers to all requests via GitHub.headers field.
    • Updated client HTTP headers to match GitHub v3 REST API version 2022-11-28.
  • New CipherMap utility class meant to transparently provide strong encryption for map objects.
  • New EphemeralTokenCache credential which is an encrypted cache meant to store ephemeral API tokens issued by services such as GitHub App or any other time-limited token service. The intention of the cache is to reuse issued tokens in order to reduce API requests.
  • GitHub App authentication now available via the following classes.

Bug fixes:

  • Major bugfix: support for more HTTP methods which have no content in the response.
  • Bugfix: Groovy 3.0.5 YAML additional_toolchains order was not preserved. This change makes Jervis compatible with Groovy 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, and 3.0, and 4.0 series of releases. Jenkins LTS currently uses Groovy 2.4.21 so this is more of a future-proofing fix than a bug for existing usage.
  • Minor bugfix around cipherlist loading in LifecycleGenerator. Discovered via 100% test coverage goal.

Other notes:

  • Added support for VSCode dev containers to ease with portable development environments going forward. Due to tight integration with X11 and other Linux APIs the development host must be Linux in order to use VSCode dev containers. Fine for me since all of my computers are Linux but an important note for would-be contributors.
  • Upgraded to Gradle 7.6
  • Added support for building on OpenJDK 11 and OpenJDK 17. OpenJDK 17 requires Gradle 3 or higher.
  • Extended support for building and running on Groovy versions 2.4 through 4.0.
  • API docs now have syntax highlighting in sample usage code blocks.
