Publish with cronjobsΒΆ
This is for you if for some reason you cannot publish from your CI or you would like releases to drop at a certain interval. Before you start, answer this: Are you sure you do not want a CI to release for you? (high version numbers are not a bad thing).
The guide below is for setting up scheduled publishing on a server. It requires that the user that runs the cronjob has push access to the repository and upload access to an artifact repository.
Create a virtualenv:
virtualenv semantic_release -p `which python3`
Install python-semantic-release:
pip install python-semantic-release
3. Clone the repositories you want to have scheduled publishing.
3. Put the following in publish
:
VENV=semantic_release/bin
$VENV/pip install -U pip python-semantic-release > /dev/null
publish() {
cd $1
git stash -u # ensures that there is no untracked files in the directory
git fetch && git reset --hard origin/master
$VENV/semantic-release version && $VENV/semantic-release publish
cd ..
}
publish <package1>
publish <package2>
Add cronjob:
/bin/bash -c "cd <path> && source semantic_release/bin/activate && ./publish 2>&1 >> releases.log"
