I have a Maven Project with this folder structure (after run 'maven clean install' through jenkins):
PS: there are other files and directories inside this 'target' folder, but the ones I need are just those.
Well, for AWS deployment, I need to create a ZIP file with this exact structure (missing the 'ebs' folder):
My pipeline, in Jenkins, creates the ZIP with the jar ane 'ebs' folder inside, but I need Procfile and .ebextensions at root level, outside 'ebs' folder.
Jenkins configuration:
I also tried "ebs", "ebs/", "ebs/*" and "ebs/.". None works. What am I doing wrong? Should be simple to include files in ZIP package, but it doesnt.
To include Procfile file and .ebextensions folder inside ZIP package generated by Jenkins, the first step is to eliminate the 'ebs' folder during maven build.
With every file/directory inside target root, jenkins 'includes' configuration is: myapp.jar,Procfile,.ebextensions/**/*

I am using CloudBuild for a build but find that its missing a folder I have in my local directory
/cloudbuild.yaml
/scripts
/output
.gitkeep
/...
One of my build steps writes to scripts/output directory. But it fails because its missing. It works when I create that directory first (mkdir scripts/output). Why do I need to do that? Whats causing the folder to be missing?
I'm trying to establish if I can use mulitple .ebignore files in nested directories, or if the correct approach is to use a single .ebignore file in the root of my project.
for example:
/.ebignore # Some generic rules in here
/directory/.ebignore # Some rules specific to this directory in here
The AWS docs refer to the .ebignore file in the singluar, never plural:
You can tell the EB CLI to ignore certain files in your project
directory with a .ebignore file. This file works like a .gitignore.
When you deploy your project directory to Elastic Beanstalk and create
a new application version, the EB CLI will not include files specified
by the .ebignore in the source bundle that it creates.
So can I use multiple .ebignore files?
I have a structure directory like:
src => contains all files to develop the app (gulpfile, components, etc.).
build => contains all final files like styles/styles.css, js/app.js, index.html etc., compressed, minified, to deploy on server.
How could handle/ignore files on each branch, like:
master branch => all files/directories (src, build, etc.).
production branch => only build directory to deploy on server.
I tried with .gitignore, but I have a conflict with the .gitignore files when merge branches.
I tried editing config file inside .git directory, but nothing happens.
BTW, my project not includes nodejs.
It's possible do this?
In general what you are trying to do isn't a best practice. To really do what you want you would have a different git repository for your build artifacts.
A better approach is to have a CI server that builds the branch and archives the results somewhere. Usually you would have your build zip it up and store it somewhere you know it is immutable.
Alternatively you could commit your build artifacts but change your deployment scripts to only deploy the build directory.
I am trying to upload files to my bluemix app and I am having problems using and understanding the file system. After I have succesfully uploaded files I want to give their path on my configuration files.
Specifically, I want to upload a jar file to the server and later use it as javaagent.
I have tried approaching this isuue from several directions.
I see that I can create a folder in the liberty_buildpack and place the files inside I can later access it on the compilation-release phases from the tmp folder:
/tmp/buildpacks/ibm-websphere-liberty-buildpack/lib/liberty_buildpack/my_folder
Also I can see that in the file system that I see when building and deploying the app I can copy only to the folder located in:
/app
So I copied the JAR file to the app file and set it as a javaagent using 2 method:
Manually set enviorment variable JAVA_OPTS with java agent to point to /app/myjar.jar using cf set-env
Deploy a war file of the app using cf push from wlp server and set the java agent inside the server.xml file and attribute genericJvmArguments
Both of those methods didnt work, and either the deploy phase of the application failed or my features simply didnt work.
So I tried searching the application file system using cf files and came up with the app folder, but strangly it didn't have the same file as the folder I deploy and I couldn't find any connection to the deployed folder ot the build pack.
Can someone explain how this should be done correctly? namely, uploading the file and then how should I point to it from the enviorment variable/server file?
I mean should it be /app/something or maybe other path?
I have also seen the use of relative paths like #droplet.sandbox maybe its the way to address those files? and how should I access those folders from cf files
Thanks.
EDIT:
As I have been instructed in the comments I have added the jar file to the system, the problem is that when I add the javaagent variable to the enviorment variable JAVA_OPTS the deploy stage fails with the timeout error:
payload: {... "reason"=>"CRASHED", "exit_status"=>32, "exit_description"=>"failed to accept connections within health check timeout", "crash_timestamp"=>
1433864527}
The way I am assigning the javaagent is as follows:
cf set-env myApp JAVA_OPTS "path/agent.jar"
I have tried adding several location:
1. I have found that if I add the jar files to my WebContent folder I can find it in: /app/wlp/usr/servers/defaultServer/apps/myapp.war/resources/
2. I have copied the jar file from the /tmp location in the compilation phase to /home/vcap/app/agent.jar
3. I have located the jar file in /app/.java/jre/lib
none of those 3 paths worked.
I found out that if I give a wrong path the system behaves the same so it may be a path problem.
Any ideas?
Try this:
Put your agent jars in a folder called ".profile.d" inside your WAR package;
cf se your-app JAVA_OPTS -javaagent:/home/vcap/app/.profile.d/your.jar ;
Push the war to Bluemix.
Not sure if this is exactly the right answer, but I am using additional jar files in my Liberty application, so maybe this will help.
I push up a myapp.war file to bluemix. Within the war file, inside the WEB-INF folder, I have a lib folder that contains a number of jar files. The classes in those jar files are then used within the java code of my application.
myapp.war/WEB-INF/lib/myPlugin.jar
You could try doing something like that with the jar file(s) you need, building them into the war file.
Other than that, you could try the section Overlaying the JRE from the bluemix liberty documentation to add jars to the JRE.
I'm working in a python 2.7 elastic beanstalk environment.
I'm trying to use the sources key in an .ebextensions .config file to copy a tgz archive to a directory in my application root -- /opt/python/current/app/utility. I'm doing this because the files in this folder are too big to include in my github repository.
However, it looks like the sources key is executed before the ondeck symbolic link is created to the current bundle directory so I can't reference /opt/python/ondeck/app when using the sources command because it creates the folder and then beanstalk errors out when trying to create the ondeck symbolic link.
Here are copies of the .ebextensions/utility.config files I have tried:
sources:
/opt/python/ondeck/app/utility: http://[bucket].s3.amazonaws.com/utility.tgz
Above successfully copies to /opt/python/ondec/app/utility but then beanstalk errors out becasue it can't create the symbolic link from /opt/python/bundle/x --> /opt/python/ondeck.
sources:
utility: http://[bucket].s3.amazonaws.com/utility.tgz
Above copies the folder to /utility right off the root in parallel with /etc.
You can use container_commands instead of sources as it runs after the application has been set up.
With container_commands you won't be able to use sources to automatically get your files and extract them so you will have to use commands such as wget or curl to get your files and untar them afterwards.
Example: curl http://[bucket].s3.amazonaws.com/utility.tgz | tar xz
In my environment (php) there is no transient ondeck directory and the current directory where my app is eventually deployed is recreated after commands are run.
Therefore, I needed to run a script post deploy. Searching revealed that I can put a script in /opt/elasticbeanstalk/hooks/appdeploy/post/ and it will run after deploy.
So I download/extract my files from S3 to a temporary directory in the simplest way by using sources. Then I create a file that will copy my files over after the deploy and put it in the post deploy hook directory .
sources:
/some/existing/directory: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/my-bucket/vendor.zip
files:
"/opt/elasticbeanstalk/hooks/appdeploy/post/99_move_my_files_on_deploy.sh":
mode: "000755"
owner: root
group: root
content: |
#!/usr/bin/env bash
mv /some/existing/directory /var/app/current/where/the/files/belong
