#Go Npm Registry Poller
A Go plugin that polls a Npm registry
This is a package material plugin for Go. It is currently capable of polling Npm registries.
The behaviour and capabilities of the plugin are determined to a significant extent by that of the package material extension point in Go. Be sure to read the package material documentation before using this plugin.
This is a pure Java plugin. It does not need node.js or npm installed. You may however require node.js and npm on the agents.
Just drop go-npm-poller.jar into plugins/external directory and restart Go. More details here
Npm registry URL must be a valid http or https URL. For example, to add npmjs.org as a repository, specify the URL as http://registry.npmjs.org. The plugin will try to access the URL to report successful connection.
Click check package to make sure the plugin understands what you are looking for. Note that the version constraints are AND-ed if both are specified.
The following information is made available as environment variables for tasks:
GO_PACKAGE_<REPO-NAME>_<PACKAGE-NAME>_LABEL
GO_REPO_<REPO-NAME>_<PACKAGE-NAME>_REPO_URL
GO_PACKAGE_<REPO-NAME>_<PACKAGE-NAME>_PACKAGE_ID
GO_PACKAGE_<REPO-NAME>_<PACKAGE-NAME>_LOCATION
GO_PACKAGE_<REPO-NAME>_<PACKAGE-NAME>_VERSION
The LOCATION variable points to a downloadable url.
To download the package locally on the agent you could use curl (or wget) task like this:
<exec command="cmd" >
<arg>/c</arg>
<arg>curl -o /path/to/package.tgz $GO_PACKAGE_REPONAME_PKGNAME_LOCATION</arg>
</exec>
When the task executes on the agent, the environment variables get subsituted and the package gets downloaded.
Alternatively, you could choose to npm install the package like:
<exec command="cmd" >
<arg>/c</arg>
<arg>npm install $GO_PACKAGE_REPONAME_PKGNAME_PACKAGE_ID@$GO_PACKAGE_REPONAME_PKGNAME_VERSION </arg>
</exec>
