Setting up a Custom CI/CD Pipeline

Zuplo provides the Zuplo deployer, a GitHub app that can be used to automatically deploy your APIs from your GitHub repository to the Zuplo platform. However, we realized that sometimes you might not be using GitHub as your version control system. Or, that you might want to exercise more control over your CI/CD pipeline. For these cases, we provide a CLI that can be used to deploy your APIs to the Zuplo platform.

Getting Started

Contact support to enable API keys for your Zuplo project.
Navigate to dev.zuplo.com/docs and click on "Sign in" on the top right corner.
Navigate to authentication and generate some API keys. You will use these keys to authenticate with the Zuplo CLI.

tip

The API Key generated is specific for each project. If you have multiple projects, you will need to generate a new API key for each project. Contact support to enable API keys for every Zuplo project that you want to use the CLI with.

Write some tests for your API. We provide a rich set of test helpers and utils based on BDD. You can see examples of tests at samples.

tip

Your test files need to be under the tests folder and end with .test.ts to be picked up by the Zuplo CLI.

Setting up a custom workflow with GitHub Actions

The full example is available at https://github.com/zuplo/zup-cli-example-project/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml

Create a workflow file. You can use the following to help you get started:

.github/workflows/ci.yaml
name: Zuplo CI

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
  pull_request:

jobs:
  run-zup-test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    env:
      ZUPLO_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.ZUPLO_API_KEY }}

    steps:
      - uses: actions/[email protected]

      # This explicitly tells action to use the latest version of Zuplo from the public NPM registry
      - uses: actions/setup-[email protected]
        with:
          node-version: "18.x"
          registry-url: "https://registry.npmjs.com"
          scope: "@zuplo"

      - name: Checkout the actual branch for the pull request
        if: ${{ github.event_name == 'pull_request' }}
        run: |
          git checkout -b ${{ github.head_ref }}

      - name: NPM Install
        run: npm install

      # shell: bash is required so that pipefail is set.
      # See https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#exit-codes-and-error-action-preference
      # This way if the deploy fails, we fail before piping to tee.
      # Note that you are not required to use tee. We are using it in this example so that the output is available to the terminal and written to the file.
      - name: Zup Deploy
        shell: bash
        run: |
          npx @zuplo/cli deploy --apiKey "$ZUPLO_API_KEY" | tee ./DEPLOYMENT_STDOUT

      - name: Zup Test
        shell: bash
        run: |
          npx @zuplo/cli test --endpoint $(cat ./DEPLOYMENT_STDOUT |  sed -E 's/Deployed to (.*)/\1/')

      - name: Zup Delete
        if: ${{ github.event_name == 'pull_request' }}
        shell: bash
        run: |
          npx @zuplo/cli delete --url $(cat ./DEPLOYMENT_STDOUT |  sed -E 's/Deployed to (.*)/\1/') --apiKey "$ZUPLO_API_KEY" --wait

      # This is not necessary but it showcases how you can list your zups
      - name: Zup List
        shell: bash
        run: |
          npx @zuplo/cli list --apiKey "$ZUPLO_API_KEY"

Create a secret for your GitHub Action and be sure to set ZUPLO_API_KEY to the API key you generated in the previous step.

Setting up a custom workflow with Bitbucket Pipelines

The full example is available at https://github.com/zuplo/zup-cli-example-project/blob/main/bitbucket-pipelines.yml

Create a pipelines file. You can use the following to help you get started:

bitbucket-pipelines.yml
image: node:18

pipelines:
  branches:
    # If your default branch is not main, change this to match
    main:
      - step:
          name: NPM Install
          script:
            - npm install
      - step:
          name: Zup Deploy
          # set -o pipefail
          # This way if the deploy fails, we fail before piping to tee.
          # Note that you are not required to use tee. We are using it in this example so that the output is available to the terminal and written to the file.
          script:
            - set -o pipefail
            - npx @zuplo/cli deploy --apiKey "$ZUPLO_API_KEY" | tee
              ./DEPLOYMENT_STDOUT
          artifacts:
            - DEPLOYMENT_STDOUT
      - step:
          name: Zup Test
          script:
            - npx @zuplo/cli test --endpoint $(cat ./DEPLOYMENT_STDOUT |  sed -E
              's/Deployed to (.*)/\1/')
  pull-requests:
    "**":
      - step:
          name: NPM Install
          script:
            - npm install
      - step:
          name: Zup Deploy
          # set -o pipefail
          # This way if the deploy fails, we fail before piping to tee.
          # Note that you are not required to use tee. We are using it in this example so that the output is available to the terminal and written to the file.
          script:
            - set -o pipefail
            - npx @zuplo/cli deploy --apiKey "$ZUPLO_API_KEY" | tee
              ./DEPLOYMENT_STDOUT
          artifacts:
            - DEPLOYMENT_STDOUT
      - step:
          name: Zup Test
          script:
            - npx @zuplo/cli test --endpoint $(cat ./DEPLOYMENT_STDOUT |  sed -E
              's/Deployed to (.*)/\1/')
      - step:
          name: Zup Delete (if necessary)
          script:
            - echo $BITBUCKET_PR_ID
            - if [[ -n "$BITBUCKET_PR_ID" ]]; then npx @zuplo/cli delete --url
              $(cat ./DEPLOYMENT_STDOUT |  sed -E 's/Deployed to (.*)/\1/')
              --apiKey "$ZUPLO_API_KEY" --wait; exit; fi
      # This is not necessary but it showcases how you can list your zups
      - step:
          name: Zup List
          script:
            - npx @zuplo/cli list --apiKey "$ZUPLO_API_KEY"

Create a secret repository variable for your BitBucket Pipelines and be sure to set ZUPLO_API_KEY to the API key you generated in the previous step.

Setting up a custom workflow with Azure Pipelines

The full example is available at https://github.com/zuplo/zup-cli-example-project/blob/main/azure-pipelines.yml

Create a pipelines file. You can use the following to help you get started:

azure-pipelines.yml
trigger:
  - main

pool:
  vmImage: ubuntu-latest

steps:
  - task: [email protected]
    inputs:
      versionSpec: "18.x"
    displayName: "Install Node.js"

  - script: |
      npm install
    displayName: "npm install"

  # set -o pipefail
  # This way if the deploy fails, we fail before piping to tee.
  # Note that you are not required to use tee. We are using it in this example so that the output is available to the terminal and written to the file.
  - script: |
      set -o pipefail 
      npx @zuplo/cli deploy --api-key $(ZUPLO_API_KEY) | tee ./DEPLOYMENT_STDOUT
    displayName: "Zup Deploy"

  - script: |
      npx @zuplo/cli test --endpoint $(cat ./DEPLOYMENT_STDOUT |  sed -E 's/Deployed to (.*)/\1/')
    displayName: "Zup Test"

  - script: |
      npx @zuplo/cli delete --url $(cat ./DEPLOYMENT_STDOUT |  sed -E 's/Deployed to (.*)/\1/') --api-key $(ZUPLO_API_KEY) --wait
    displayName: "Zup Delete"
    # Only run this step if the build is a pull request
    condition: eq(variables['Build.Reason'], 'PullRequest')

  # This is not necessary but it showcases how you can list your zups
  - script: |
      npx @zuplo/cli list --api-key $(ZUPLO_API_KEY)
    displayName: "Zup List"

Create a secret for your Azure Pipelines and be sure to set ZUPLO_API_KEY to the API key you generated in the previous step.

Setting up a custom workflow with GitLab Pipelines

The full example is available at https://github.com/zuplo/zup-cli-example-project/blob/main/.gitlab-ci.yml

Create a pipelines file. You can use the following to help you get started:

.gitlab-ci.yml
image: node:latest
workflow:
  rules:
    - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "merge_request_event"
      when: always
    - if: $CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TARGET_BRANCH_NAME == $CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH
      when: always

npm_install:
  stage: build
  script:
    - npm install

zup_deploy:
  stage: deploy
  script:
    - npx @zuplo/cli deploy --apiKey "$ZUPLO_API_KEY" | tee ./DEPLOYMENT_STDOUT
  artifacts:
    expire_in: 30 minutes
    paths:
      - "./DEPLOYMENT_STDOUT"

zup_test:
  stage: deploy
  needs: [zup_deploy]
  script:
    - npx @zuplo/cli test --endpoint $(cat ./DEPLOYMENT_STDOUT |  sed -E 's/Deployed to (.*)/\1/')

zup_delete:
  stage: deploy
  needs: [zup_deploy, zup_test]
  only:
    - merge_requests
  script:
    - npx @zuplo/cli delete --url $(cat ./DEPLOYMENT_STDOUT |  sed -E 's/Deployed to (.*)/\1/') --apiKey "$ZUPLO_API_KEY" --wait

# This is not necessary but it showcases how you can list your zups
zup_list:
  stage: deploy
  needs: [zup_test]
  script:
    - npx @zuplo/cli list --apiKey "$ZUPLO_API_KEY"

Create a variable for ZUPLO_API_KEY on your GitLab project. Set it to the API key you generated in the previous step. You can choose to mask the variable so it does not display in job logs.
