ci-npm-update

ci-npm-update

This command keeps npm dependencies up-to-date by making pull-requests from CI.

For example: https://github.com/gfx/ci-npm-update/pull/13

This is inspired by circleci-bundle-update-pr.

Install

npm install --save-dev ci-npm-update

Usage

Configuration

This command is designed to be executed by CI nightly builds.

Set GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN environment to make a pull-request to github repositories, and set SSH keys to push to the repos from CI.

If the CI environment has no git configuration, also set GIT_USER_NAME and GIT_USER_EMAIL to commit patches in CI.

export GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN=...
export GIT_USER_NAME=gfx
export GIT_USER_EMAIL=[e-mail]

Execution

By default, ci-npm-update runs in dry-run mode. Set --execute to make pull-requests.

ci-npm-update --execute

Local Tests

If you only run it in dry-run mode, no configuration is required:

# run in dry-run mode:
ci-npm-update

If you want to make pull-requests in your local machine, use GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN:

# envchain is recommended
envchain --set github GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN
# run:
envchain github ci-npm-update --execute

In addition, --list is provided to list dependencies with short descriptions, intended for sanity check in development.

ci-npm-update --list

Development

Setup:

npm run setup

Easy test command in dry-run mode:

npm run build && envchain github node bin/ci-npm-update

Heroku Scheduler

If you want to setup heroku schedulers, there's a template for it:

To test it, run the following command:

heroku run './build-circleci'
