Spring HATEOAS
This project provides some APIs to ease creating REST representations that follow the HATEOAS principle when working with Spring and especially Spring MVC. The core problem it tries to address is link creation and representation assembly.
Working with Spring HATEOAS
Since all commits are headlined with its github issue, git will treat it as a comment. To get around this, apply the following configuration to your clone:
git config core.commentchar "/"
Making a release
-
Create a new release (on the main branch).
% ci/create-release.sh <release version> <next snapshot version>
-
With the release tagged, push the tagged version to the release branch.
% git checkout -b release % git reset --hard <tag> % git push -f origin release
Note
|
You can chain the previous set of commands together using && .
|
The pipeline will build and release the "release" branch. It will also build a new a new snapshot and stage it on artifactory.
And if it’s a .RELEASE
, the pipeline will push it out to Maven Central.
Running CI tasks locally
Since the pipeline uses Docker, it’s easy to:
-
Debug what went wrong on your local machine.
-
Test out a a tweak to your
test.sh
script before sending it out. -
Experiment against a new image before submitting your pull request.
All of these use cases are great reasons to essentially run what Jenkins does on your local machine.
Important
|
To do this you must have Docker installed on your machine. |
-
docker run -it --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/spring-hateoas-github adoptopenjdk/openjdk8:latest /bin/bash
This will launch the Docker image and mount your source code at
spring-hateoas-github
. -
cd spring-hateoas-github
Next, run the
test.sh
script from inside the container: -
PROFILE=none ci/test.sh
Since the container is binding to your source, you can make edits from your IDE and continue to run build jobs.
If you need to test the build.sh
script, then do this:
-
docker run -it --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/spring-hateoas-github --mount type=bind,source="/tmp/spring-hateoas-artifactory",target=/spring-hateoas-artifactory adoptopenjdk/openjdk8:latest /bin/bash
This will launch the Docker image and mount your source code at
spring-hateoas-github
and the temporary artifactory output directory atspring-hateoas-artifactory
.Next, run the
build.sh
script from inside the container: -
ci/build.sh
Important
|
build.sh will attempt to push to Artifactory. If you don’t supply credentials, it will fail.

Note
|
Docker containers can eat up disk space fast! From time to time, run docker system prune to clean out old images.
