GoReleaser was built from the very first commit with the idea of running it as part of the CI pipeline in mind.

Let's see how we can get it working on popular CI software.

Travis CI

You may want to setup your project to auto-deploy your new tags on Travis, for example:

# .travis.yml
language: go

addons:
  apt:
    packages:
    # needed for the nfpm pipe:
    - rpm
    # needed for the snap pipe:
    - snapcraft

env:
# needed for the snap pipe:
- PATH=/snap/bin:$PATH

install:
# needed for the snap pipe:
- sudo snap install snapcraft --classic

# needed for the docker pipe
services:
- docker

after_success:
# docker login is required if you want to push docker images.
# DOCKER_PASSWORD should be a secret in your .travis.yml configuration.
- test -n "$TRAVIS_TAG" && docker login -u=myuser -p="$DOCKER_PASSWORD"

# calls goreleaser
deploy:
- provider: script
  skip_cleanup: true
  script: curl -sL https://git.io/goreleaser | bash
  on:
    tags: true
    condition: $TRAVIS_OS_NAME = linux

Note the last line (condition: $TRAVIS_OS_NAME = linux): it is important if you run a build matrix with multiple Go versions and/or multiple OSes. If that's the case you will want to make sure GoReleaser is run just once.

CircleCI

Here is how to do it with CircleCI 2.0:

# .circleci/config.yml
version: 2
jobs:
  release:
    docker:
      - image: circleci/golang:1.10
    steps:
      - checkout
      - run: curl -sL https://git.io/goreleaser | bash
workflows:
  version: 2
  release:
    jobs:
      - release:
          filters:
            branches:
              ignore: /.*/
            tags:
              only: /v[0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)*(-.*)*/

Drone

By default, drone does not fetch tags. plugins/git is used with default values, in most cases we'll need overwrite the clone step enabling tags in order to make goreleaser work correctly.

In this example we're creating a new release every time a new tag is pushed. Note that you'll need to enable tags in repo settings and add github_token secret.

pipeline:
  clone:
    image: plugins/git
    tags: true

  test:
    image: golang:1.10
    commands:
      - go test ./... -race

  release:
    image: golang:1.10
    secrets: [github_token]
    commands:
      curl -sL https://git.io/goreleaser | bash
    when:
      event: tag

Google CloudBuild

CloudBuild works off a different clone than your github repo: it seems that your changes are pulled to a repo like source.developers.google.com/p/YourProjectId/r/github-YourGithubUser-YourGithubRepo, and that's what you're building off.

This repo has the wrong name, so to prevent Goreleaser from publishing to the wrong github repo, put in the your .goreleaser.yml file's release section:

release:
  github:
    owner: YourGithubUser
    name: YourGithubRepo

Create two build triggers:

• a "push to any branch" trigger for your regular CI (doesn't invoke goreleaser)
• a "push to tag" trigger which invokes goreleaser

The push to any branch trigger could use a Dockerfile or a cloudbuild.yaml, whichever you prefer.

You should have a dedicated cloudbuild.release.yaml that is only used by the "push to tag" trigger.

In this example we're creating a new release every time a new tag is pushed. See Using Encrypted Resources for how to encrypt and base64-encode your github token.

The clone that the build uses has no tags, which is why we must explicitly run git tag $TAG_NAME (note that $TAG_NAME is only set when your build is triggered by a "push to tag".) This will allow goreleaser to create a release with that version, but it won't be able to build a proper changelog containing just the messages from the commits since the prior tag.

steps:

~ - name: gcr.io/cloud-builders/go

~ # Create github release.
~ - name: goreleaser/goreleaser

~   dir: gopath/src/github.com
~   env: ['GOPATH=/workspace/gopath']
~   args: ['-c', 'cd YourGithubUser/YourGithubRepo && git tag $TAG_NAME && /goreleaser' ]
