Adding a CI/CD Pipeline

To reduce the chance of a human error affecting the a production site (especially in a team environment) it is good practice to implement a CI/CD pipeline. This post covers the implementation of a CI/CD pipeline for the AlphaGeek site. In future I will provide a more generic post about CI/CD pipelines.

# Pre-requisites

This article will be based on the blog described in Hexo, AWS and Serverless Framework,

Securing A Test Environment Using AWS WAF, Securing S3 Bucket from Direct Access and Implementing Unit Testing; some of the concepts can be applied to other uses, but this post will focus on the

specific AlphaGeek use case.

# Select a CI/CD Pipeline Provider

There are a large number of CI/CD Pipeline providers. Some of them offer self-hosted solutions, others charge for even the most basic account, some are free for open-source projects, and some provide limited accounts for free.

For my purposes I selected SemaphoreCI as it integrates with GitHub, is free (with significant usage limitations) and appears to provide a high level of configuration.

# Design Your Pipeline

As the implementation of a CI/CD pipeline is to improve the reliability of my blog I added a number of new packages to my blog’s requirements as part of the CI/CD pipeline.

If any task in the pipeline fails all subsequent actions should not occur. The final pipeline design will operate as follows:

# Pre-commit Git Hook

A pre-commit git hook will prevent any commits of invalid code.

  • Run unit tests;
  • Run markdown linting;
  • Clean the site build files;
  • Rebuild the site;
  • Apply versioning to the asset files;
  • Scan the generated files for broken links;
  • Scan the generated files for non-W3C compliant HTML;
  • Scan the generated files for accessibility standards compliance but ignore the results.

# CI/CD Pipeline

The following CI/CD pipeline will be triggered when a commit to the develop branch is pushed to GitHub.

  • Re-run the pre-commit tasks in the CI/CD environment;
  • Deploy content changes to the development site;
  • Scan the deployed files for broken links.

The following CI/CD pipeline will be triggered when a commit to the master branch is pushed to GitHub.

  • Re-run the pre-commit tasks in the CI/CD environment;
  • Deploy content changes to the production site;
  • Scan the deployed files for broken links.

After all tests have passed an option to deploy infrastructure and code changes will be available though the chosen CI/CD SaaS provider.

# Pipeline Implementation

# Sign-up to SemaphoreCI

The first task was to sign-up to SemaphoreCI. This was as simple as clicking on the large Sign up with GitHub button and selecting the repository I wanted to integrate.

# Set-up the New Test Dependencies

To implement the tests several new dependencies have been added to the blog.

# markdownlint-cli

To ensure the markdown for all the posts is formatted consistently markdownlint-cli was installed.

1
npm i --save-dev markdownlint-cli

A custom configuration was created for this dependency so it operates how I want it to. This configuration enforces the top level heading as level 2 (level 1 headings are used automatically for the post title in my chosen template); the maximum line length was disabled because it is not compatible with Hexo’s default Markdwon interpreter; and I removed the ? character from the heading validation.

{
"MD002": {
"level": 2
},
"MD013": false,
"MD026": {
"punctuation": ".,;:!"
}
}

# node-w3c-validator

To ensure there is no invalid HTML on the site I implemented node-w3c-validator. This script has a dependency on Java, so that may need to be installed as well.

1
npm i --save-dev node-w3c-validator

# pa11y-ci

Pa11y-CI is a wrapper for Pa11y to make it easier to integrate in a CI/CD pipeline.

Pa11y scans an HTML file for any accessibility issues. As my blog has a large number of existing issues I have configured the scripts that run this to allow it to fail.

1
npm i --save-dev pa11y-ci

# Add New Scripts to NPM

To simplify running the existing NPM commands and the new dependencies I added a number of elements to the scripts section of the package.json file, modified some of the definitions and re-ordered them to make more sense to me.

"precommit": "npm run buildtest-local"
},

# Default theme issues

If you are running the default Hexo theme (landscape), it is not W3C compliant, so you will need to change the htmlcheck script in your package.json to be node-w3c-validator -v -s -i public/ || true. This will display the output when you run the precommit hook, but will not enforce the HTML validation.

# Implement the Git Pre-Commit Hook

Implementing a Git pre-commit hook is simply a matter of creating a file at .git/pre-comit and populating it with a valid shell script that completes with an error code of 0.

1

3
#!/bin/sh

npm run precommit

# Define the Tasks to Run on SemaphoreCI

The SemaphoreCI configuration is done in multiple phases to ensure it works and so a broken build isn’t accidentally deployed to production.

In the configuration file, tasks will be run sequentially, and if multiple jobs are defined within a task they can be run in parallel.

# Commit and Test

As a pre-commit hook has been added your next commit may be rejected until all existing errors have been fixed. In my case I had to fix errors in all of the markdown files for each of my previous posts.

At this point the CI/CD pipeline should successfully build and test the site.

# Add UAT and Production Scripts to NPM

To enable the automated deployment of content changes, and to provide functionality to deploy infrastructure and code changes, some additional scripts need to be defined in the package.json file. These scripts will allow for deployment and testing of both the UAT and Production environments.

# Remove Deployment Functionality from Serverless Framework

As the deployment process has been migrated to NPM commands the serverless.yml configuration file needs to the build and deployment functionality removed. Delete the following lines from the file:

package:createDeploymentArtifacts: >
hexo clean &&
hexo generate
# Run these commands after infrastructure changes have been completed
deploy:finalize: >
sls s3deploy -s ${self:custom.stage}

# Install SemaphoreCI CLI

To enable deployment to AWS SemaphoreCI will need to have access to our AWS credentials. Credentials and other secrets should never be stored in a code repository, so we will require a method to securely save the credentials on Semaphore. This can be done using the SemaphoreCI command line utility. You will also need to know your SemaphoreCI organization name and the SemaphoreCI API token (which can be found at the SemaphoreCI Account Page).

1
2
curl https://storage.googleapis.com/sem-cli-releases/get.sh | bash
sem connect **ORGANIZATION**.semaphoreci.com **API_TOKEN**

# Provide AWS Credentials to SemaphoreCI

To provide credentials and secrets to SemaphoreCI a file needs to be created. So this doesn’t accidentally get committed to the code repository we begin by adding to the .gitignore file.

1
2
# Semaphore secret files
.semaphore/secrets/*

It’s now safe to create a file with your AWS credentials in it. Create a new file at .semaphore/secrets/aws.yml with the following content (updated with your AWS details).

data:
env_vars:
- name: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
value: "**YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID**"
- name: AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
value: "**YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY**"

Then this file needs to be imported to SemaphoreCI.

1
sem create -f .semaphore/secrets/aws.yml

The value of these secrets will be embedded in the deployment configuration in the next section.

# Create UAT and Production Deployment Configuration

Everything is now ready to create the SemaphoreCI deployment scripts.

Start by creating a file to deploy the content changes to S3 for UAT at .semaphore/uat-content.yml.

# Add New WAF Rules and Implement

Because the link checking tool we’re using doesn’t support a custom authentication header we need to enable another method to gain access. For this we will use a custom user-agent string. This is defined in config/resources.yml.

# Deploy New Infrastructure

We need to manually deploy the new infrastructure before we can push the code to GitHub as some of the functionality in the CI/CD pipeline will fail with the current configuration.

npm run deploy-uat-infra

# How to Publish New Content

Publishing new content is now as easy as committing the changes and pushing the develop branch to GitHub and waiting for the deployment to the development site to complete. Once you’ve completed any user acceptance testing (UAT) you can merge the develop branch into master and push that to GitHub. Once all testing has completed the content will automatically be published to your production site.

# How to Deploy New Infrastructure and Lambda Functions

Deploying new infrastructure is similar to the process for new content, but once the tests and build have completed on SemaphoreCI you will need to press a button to deploy. Just follow these simple steps:

  • Login to SemaphoreCI
  • Locate the build you wish to deploy the infrastructure from
  • Open the build
  • Click the Promote button under the deployment you wish to run
