Http proxy server to filter gitlab webhook

Small groovy http proxy server used to filter gitlab webhooks

Used to avoid re-build a Jenkins job when Jenkins push a commit (package.json updated by npm version)

For now, only works with push webhook and specific commit message

Run the proxy server

First time

$ clone https://github.com/lowik/gitlab-webhook-proxy.git
$ npm i

Set the target host and other variables in webhook-proxy.groovy

Then, just start

$ npm start

Configure gitlab

In your project settings, set the proxy hostname with the path of the final target

i.e: replace http://jenkins/git/notifyCommit?url=git@repo:dev/project.git by http://localhost:9090/git/notifyCommit?url=git@repo:dev/project.git

Configure jenkins

Working with pipeline

Job PUBLISH depending of success of job TESTS

Job TESTS

Configure source code

• Set the Git repository
• Add "Check out to specific local branch" with the correct branch name

Configure Archive workspace

• Check "Override Default Ant Excludes"
• And so configure "Files to exclude from cloned workspace" without .git directory i.e: node_modules//*,.gradle//*

Job PUBLISH

Configure source code

• Clone workspace job TESTS

Publish task

• Must push the new version with specific message starting with "[jenkins-release] "

Encountered problems

npm publish don't work because repository is not clean caused by a gradlew chmod diff (jenkins make gradlew as executable)

$ git update-index --add --chmod=+x gradlew
