First time contributors

What and why

I am super excited about Zeit Now tool; this is the "missing CI tool" for it. A single command now-pipeline

  • deploys new version
  • tests it
  • switches alias to the new deployment
  • takes down the old deployment

Should be enough to automatically update the server or service running in the cloud without breaking anything.

Install and use

npm i -g now-pipeline

Set NOW_TOKEN CI environment variable with a token that you can get from Zeit account page

Add CI command to now-pipeline. By default it will execute npm test and will pass the deployed url as NOW_URL environment variable. You can customize everything.

Example

Simple Travis commands

script:
  # after unit tests
  - npm i -g now-pipeline
  - now-pipeline

Prune existing deploys (if they do not have an alias) and show the deploy.

script:
  - npm i -g now-pipeline
  - now-pipeline-prune
  - now-pipeline
  - now-pipeline-list

Set domain alias if there is no existing one

script:
  - npm i -g now-pipeline
  - now-pipeline --alias foo.domain.com

Pass in path to be used as deploy directory

script:
  - npm i -g now-pipeline
  - now-pipeline --dir your/directory

Pass test command and name of the environment variable for deployed url

script:
  - npm i -g now-pipeline
  - now-pipeline --as HOST --test "npm run e2e"

Example projects

Additional bin commands

  • now-pipeline-list - see the current deploys for the current project
  • now-pipeline-prune - remove all non-aliased deploys for the current project

You can pass custom test command to the pipeline to be used after deploying fresh install using --test "command" argument. The command will get NOW_URL environment variable with new install. For example

npm i -g now-pipeline
now-pipeline --test "npm run prod-test"

where the package.json has

{
  "scripts": {
    "prod-test": "e2e-test $NOW_URL"
  }
}

Debugging

You can see verbose log messages by running this tool with environment variable DEBUG=now-pipeline

Details

t="$(npm pack .)"; wc -c "${t}"; tar tvf "${t}"; rm "${t}"
  • file .npmignore is considered an optional file
