Configure the pipeline script provided by Talend to generate the project items according to the Maven phase you want to achieve and the repository you want to deploy your artifacts to.

Note: The azure-pipeline.yml script file provided as an example allows you to build and publish artifacts to Talend Management Console. If you want to publish artifacts to an artifact repository or to Docker, uncomment the corresponding parameters in the script.

Some parameters and credentials come from the secure files and variables you have stored in Azure DevOps. For more information about the Talend Maven parameters you can use when configuring your pipeline, see Talend custom Maven build options.

Procedure

  1. Download and extract this file: azure-pipeline.zip
  2. Set your own values for the environment variables defined at the top of the script (project name, Job name/version/type, repository URL, etc.).
    Tip: Look for the XXX references in the azure-pipeline.yml script provided by Talend as an example and replace them with values corresponding to your environment.

    Example

    Example of a project named CICD, a Job named my_complex_job with a 1.0 version and a Docker image named cicd4talend:
    variables:
- group: Talend Variables
- name: project_name
  value: 'CICD'
- name: jobs_to_build
  value: 'process/my_complex_job_1.0'
- name: docker_image_name
  value: 'cicd4talend'
    Warning: Syntax requirements:
    • The value of the project_name variable must be in upper case otherwise it might cause build failure. If you used special characters in the project name or have any doubts on its final syntax you can check it in the parent pom.xml file of your project (talend.project.name variable in <project>/poms/pom.xml).
    • The value of the jobs_to_build variable must be in lower case even if the original name of your Job/Route/Service contained upper case as all artifacts are in lower case in the .pom files required to launch the build.
    • Do not add manually the "-SNAPSHOT" suffix to the version value. Snapshots and releases are decoupled from the version itself and must only be handled via the Talend Studio preferences, see Changing the deployment version of each artifact at once.
  3. Edit the artifact repository URL stated in the artifact_url Azure variable you created previously.

    Example

    -DaltDeploymentRepository=releases::default::http://nexus:8081/repository/maven-releases/

    allows you to deploy artifacts into a Nexus maven-releases repository (for stable release artifacts in a Production environment).

    Note: If you want to deploy Jobs that use custom components, you need to use the -Dcomponents.* options as described in Talend custom Maven build options.
  4. Edit the Talend Cloud workspace and environment stated in the talend_ci_config variable group.

    Example

    -Dservice.url=$(talend_cloud_url)
-Dcloud.token=$(talend_cloud_token)
-Dcloud.publisher.screenshot=true
-context=Prod
-Dcloud.publisher.environment=prod
-Dcloud.publisher.workspace=ci-workspace

    allows you to deploy artifacts (with screenshots) into a Talend Cloud account inside a workspace named ci-workspace on a prod environment while changing the context environment to Prod (using --context). This environment must have been defined previously in Talend Studio, however if you did not define any context parameters you can use --context_param to define them at build time.

  5. To define the Maven phase you want to achieve: make sure the phase and build profiles stated in the options and goals lines are the one you want to perform. The default goal defined in the default script provided by Talend is deploy.
    For more information on the Maven phases, see the Maven documentation.
    Tip: All build profiles (-Pdocker, -Pnexus, etc.) are listed in the parent pom.xml file of your project. Some default parameters, like the docker image name or the Open JDK name, can also be overwritten in this file.

    Example

    options: '--settings $(settings_xml.secureFilePath) -Pnexus -pl $(jobs_to_build) -am'
goals: 'clean deploy'

    allows you to take the packaged artifact as a jar or .zip files and deploy it to the Nexus repository of your choice.

    Example

    options: '--settings $(settings_xml.secureFilePath) -X -Pdocker -pl $(jobs_to_build) -am -Dtalend.docker.name=$(docker_image_name)'
goals: 'deploy'

    allows you to take the compiled code, package it as a Docker image and deploy it to the registry of your choice.

  6. Save your changes. It will automatically launch the execution of your build pipeline.
