Continuous Integration, Delivery, and Deployment

By: Sander Rossel

Overview of this book

The challenge faced by many teams while implementing Continuous Deployment is that it requires the use of many tools and processes that all work together. Learning and implementing all these tools (correctly) takes a lot of time and effort, leading people to wonder whether it's really worth it. This book sets up a project to show you the different steps, processes, and tools in Continuous Deployment and the actual problems they solve. We start by introducing Continuous Integration (CI), deployment, and delivery as well as providing an overview of the tools used in CI. You'll then create a web app and see how Git can be used in a CI environment. Moving on, you'll explore unit testing using Jasmine and browser testing using Karma and Selenium for your app. You'll also find out how to automate tasks using Gulp and Jenkins. Next, you'll get acquainted with database integration for different platforms, such as MongoDB and PostgreSQL. Finally, you'll set up different Jenkins jobs to integrate with Node.js and C# projects, and Jenkins pipelines to make branching easier. By the end of the book, you'll have implemented Continuous Delivery and deployment from scratch.

Setting up SonarQube

Now that we can run our Gulp tasks and trigger a build automatically on commit, it is time to add the next step towards quality code, SonarQube. We have already installed, configured, and used SonarQube in Chapter 2, Setting Up a CI Environment, so I assume you have it ready for use. If things do not work, be sure to review Chapter 2, Setting Up a CI Environment, and the part on SonarQube in particular. Here is a little reminder: SonarQube is accessible on ciserver:9000. So, go to your project configuration and add the Execute SonarQube Scanner build step. Put the following configuration in the Analysis Properties field:

sonar.projectKey=chapter7
sonar.projectName=Chapter 7
sonar.projectVersion=1.0

sonar.sources=.

sonar.exclusions=node_modules/**, prod/**, scripts/bundles/**, test/**

I strongly suggest you exclude node_modules (because these are not your files...
