Azure DevOps

Automate build and test of your WSO2 Integrator projects using Azure DevOps Pipelines.

Overview

Azure DevOps Pipelines provides a fully managed CI/CD service that integrates with Git repositories. For WSO2 Integrator projects built on Ballerina, a pipeline installs Ballerina on the Microsoft-hosted Ubuntu agent, then runs tests and builds the package.

Prerequisites

• An Azure DevOps organization and project
• A Git repository containing your WSO2 Integrator (Ballerina) project

Pipeline configuration

Create a file named azure-pipelines.yml at the root of your repository:

# azure-pipelines.yml
trigger:
  branches:
    include:
      - main

pool:
  vmImage: "ubuntu-latest"

steps:
  - script: |
      wget -q https://dist.ballerina.io/downloads/2201.14.0/ballerina-2201.14.0-swan-lake-linux-x64.deb
      sudo dpkg -i ballerina-2201.14.0-swan-lake-linux-x64.deb
    displayName: "Install Ballerina"

  - script: bal test
    displayName: "Run tests"

  - script: bal build
    displayName: "Build Ballerina project"

Test step details

The pipeline installs Ballerina from the official Linux installer, which includes the Java runtime that Ballerina needs, and then runs the tests.

The pipeline doesn't use the ballerina/ballerina image as a container job. That image is based on Alpine Linux, which doesn't meet the Azure Pipelines requirements for Linux container jobs.

steps:
  - script: |
      wget -q https://dist.ballerina.io/downloads/2201.14.0/ballerina-2201.14.0-swan-lake-linux-x64.deb
      sudo dpkg -i ballerina-2201.14.0-swan-lake-linux-x64.deb
    displayName: "Install Ballerina"

  - script: bal test
    displayName: "Run tests"

Build step details

The build step compiles the Ballerina project and produces artifacts in the target/ directory.

- script: bal build
  displayName: "Build Ballerina project"
