github action maven release

The GitHub Action for Maven releases wraps the Maven CLI to enable Maven release. For example, you can use this action for auto-incrementing your project version and release your java artifacts.

This github action is bot friendly: You can configure the credentials of a bot user, which would be used during the incremental commit. The commits by the bot can also be signed, giving you the guaranty that only the bot can release in your repo. Additionally, this give you a clean git history by highlighting nicely which commits where resulting from your CI.

Supporting this github action

Support this github action by staring this project. Surprisingly, it seems to be the only way for the github market place to highlight popular github actions.

Sample repository

We created a sample repository that will show you an example of how this github action can be used for releasing a Java application: https://github.com/qcastel/github-actions-maven-release-sample

Features

Obviously, this github actions uses maven release plugin. Although, we did add on top a few features that you may like.

Maven release uses Git behind it, therefore there were a few features related in customising the git configuration:

  • Signing the commits (GPG) resulting from the maven release [GPG]
  • Authenticating to private repository using an SSH key [SSH]
  • Configuring the git username and email [Bot]
  • Configuring the jdk version [JDK]

You may want to configure a bit maven too. We added the following features:

  • Specify the maven project path. In other words, if your maven project is not at the root of your repo, you can configure a sub path. [Custom project path]
  • Configure private maven server repositories [Private maven repo]
  • Configure a docker registry [Docker registry]
  • Setup custom maven arguments and/or options to be used when calling maven commands [Maven options]
  • Configure a custom M2 folder [Custom M2]
  • Print the timestamp for every maven logs. Handy for troubleshooting performance issues in your CI. [Log timestamp]

For the maven releases, we got also some dedicated functionalities:

  • Skip the maven perform [Skip perform]
  • Roll back the maven perform if it failed to perform the release
  • Increment the major or minor version (by default, it's the patch version that is increased) [Major Minor version]
  • customise the version format completly [Customize version]

Usage

Setup your pom.xml for maven release

Before you even begin setting up this github action, you would need to set up your pom.xml first to be ready for maven releases. We recommend you to refer to the maven release plugin documentation for more details: https://maven.apache.org/maven-release/maven-release-plugin/

Nevertheless, we will give you some essential setups

Configure the SCM

You got two choices here:

  • Using SSH URL (Recommended)
    <scm>
        <connection>scm:git:${project.scm.url}</connection>
        <developerConnection>scm:git:${project.scm.url}</developerConnection>
        <url>[email protected]:idhub-io/idhub-api.git</url>
        <tag>HEAD</tag>
    </scm>
  • Using HTTPS URL
	<scm>
        <connection>scm:git:${project.scm.url}</connection>
        <developerConnection>scm:git:${project.scm.url}</developerConnection>
		<url>https://github.com/YOUR_REPO.git</url>
		<tag>HEAD</tag>
	</scm>

In the case of SSH, it will use the ssh-private-key to authenticate with the upstream. In the case of HTTPS, maven releases will use the access-token in this github actions to authenticate with the upstream.

Note: SSH is more elegant and usually the easiest one to setup due to the large amount of documents online on this subject.

maven release plugin

Add the maven release plugin dependency to your project

    <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>XXX</version>
        <configuration>
            <scmCommentPrefix>[ci skip]</scmCommentPrefix>
        </configuration>
    </plugin>

Personally, I usually the prefix [ci skip] which allows me to skip more easily any commits generated by the bot from the CI.

Setup the maven release github actions

Choose your version of this github action

If it's your first time using a github action, I invite you having a quick read to the github official recommendations: https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/learn-github-actions/security-hardening-for-github-actions#using-third-party-actions

It's important you understand how the versioning work and the risk/compromise of using master/tags/commit hash

If you are adventurous and like to be always on top of this github action, you can use the reference master :

 - name: Release
      uses: qcastel/github-actions-maven-release@master
      with:

If you are more reserve, you can use a tag instead. You can find the list of the tags for this github action here:

https://github.com/qcastel/github-actions-maven-release/tags

To use a tag:

 - name: Release
      uses: qcastel/github-actions-maven-release@TAG_NAME
      with:

If you are concerned about the security of this github action, you can also move to a commit hash:

 - name: Release
      uses: qcastel/github-actions-maven-release@COMMIT_HASH
      with:

Basic setup

For a simple repo with not much protection and private dependency, you can do:

      env:
       JAVA_HOME: /usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk/
      with:
       ssh-private-key: ${{ secrets.SSH_PRIVATE_KEY }}

You will need to follow the Setup with SSH section to setup the SSH_PRIVATE_KEY accordingly.

Setup with SSH

Although you may found better to use a SSH key instead. For this, generate an SSH key with the method of your choice, or use an existing one. Personally, I like generating an SSH inside a temporary docker image and configure it as a deploy key in my repository:

docker run -it qcastel/maven-release:latest  bash
ssh-keygen -b 2048 -t rsa -f /tmp/sshkey -q -N ""
export SSH_PRIVATE_KEY=$(base64 /tmp/sshkey)
export SSH_PUBLIC_KEY=$(cat /tmp/sshkey.pub)
echo -n "Copy the following SSH private key and add it to your repo secrets under the name 'SSH_PRIVATE_KEY':"
echo $SSH_PRIVATE_KEY
echo "Copy the encoded SSH public key and add it as one of your repo deploy keys with write access:"
echo $SSH_PUBLIC_KEY

exit 

Copy SSH_PRIVATE_KEY and add it as a new secret. img/Add-ssh-secrets.png

Copy SSH_PUBLIC_KEY and add it as a new deployment key with write access. img/add-deploy-key.png

Finally, setup the github action with:

        with:
          ssh-private-key: ${{ secrets.SSH_PRIVATE_KEY }}

If you want to set up a passphrase for your key:

        with:
          ssh-private-key: ${{ secrets.SSH_PRIVATE_KEY }}
          ssh-passphrase: ${{ secrets.SSH_PASSPHRASE }}

SSH known hosts

The current github actions support by default the following known hosts:

  • github.com
  • gitlab.com
  • bitbucket.org

Although you may want to additional one, using the following properties:

        with:
          ssh-extra-known-host: "my-awesome-private-git-host.com"

log Timestamp

It can be quite difficult to troubleshoot any performance issue on your CI, due to the lack of timestamp from maven by default. An example of it particular handy, is when you private maven repository is having performance issue that is affecting your CI.

We added the timestamp by default, you don't need to do anything particular to enable this feature.

The logs should look like:

14:27:09,491 [INFO] Downloading from spring-snapshots: https://repo.spring.io/snapshot/io/projectreactor/reactor-bom/Dysprosium-SR13/reactor-bom-Dysprosium-SR13.pom

Maven options

Adding maven arguments

You can add some maven arguments, which is handy for skipping tests:

        with:
            maven-args: "-Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true -DskipTests -DskipITs -Ddockerfile.skip -DdockerCompose.skip"

Adding maven options

You can add some maven options. At the difference of the maven arguments, those one are explicitly for the maven release plugin. See https://maven.apache.org/maven-release/maven-release-plugin/prepare-mojo.html.

        with:
            maven-options: "-DbranchName=hotfix"

JDK version

The default JDK version is JDK 17. Although you may want to compile your project with a specific JDK version. You will need to specify the JAVA_HOME variable with the according value. If you need a specific jdk version that is not in the list, please raise an issue in this github action to request it.

JDK 8

env:
 JAVA_HOME: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8-openjdk/

JDK 11

env:
 JAVA_HOME: /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk/

JDK 14

env:
 JAVA_HOME: /usr/lib/jvm/java-14-openjdk/

JDK 15

env:
 JAVA_HOME: /usr/lib/jvm/java-15-openjdk/

JDK 16

env:
 JAVA_HOME: /usr/lib/jvm/java-16-openjdk/

JDK 17

env:
 JAVA_HOME: /usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk/

Customise the bot name

You can simply customise the bot name as follows:

        with:
            git-release-bot-name: "release-bot"
            git-release-bot-email: "[email protected]"

Customise the default branch

You may not want to release from your master branch, which is currently the default branch setup by this github action. You can customise the branch name you want to release on, here release, as follows:

        with:
            release-branch-name: "release"

Skipping perform

If for a reason, you need to skip the maven release perfom, you can disable it as follow:

        with:
            skip-perform: true

Increase major, minor or patch version

For major version increment

1.0.0-SNAPSHOT -> 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT

        with:
            version-major: true

For minor version increment

1.0.0-SNAPSHOT -> 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT

        with:
            version-minor: true

For patch version increment

As the patch version is the default version number increased, you don't need to specify any additional properties.

Although if you prefer to be explicit, you can use the following option:

1.0.0-SNAPSHOT -> 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT

        with:
            version-patch: true

Customize version

development version

You may want to fully customize the development version number. This option will allow you to fully take control on the version number format.

For Example, you could decide to only have a 2 part version number like 0.2-SNAPSHOT.

        with:
            maven-development-version-number: ${parsedVersion.majorVersion}.\${parsedVersion.nextMinorVersion}-SNAPSHOT

Release version

You may want to fully customize the release version number. This option will allow you to fully take control on the version number format.

For Example, you could decide to only have a trailing 0 for releases like 0.2.0.

        with:
            maven-release-version-number: ${parsedVersion.majorVersion}.\${parsedVersion.minorVersion}.0

Customise the M2 folder path

It's quite common for setting up a caching of your dependencies, that you will be interested to customise the .m2 localisation folder.

        with:
            m2-home-folder: '/your-custom-path/.m2'

Setup a GPG key

If you want to set up a GPG key, you can do it by injecting your key via the secrets:

Note: GITHUB_GPG_KEY needs to be base64 encoded. if you haven't setup a GPG key yet, see next section.

      with:
        gpg-enabled: "true"
        gpg-key-id: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_GPG_KEY_ID }}
        gpg-key: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_GPG_KEY }}

In case you want to skip the GPG step, you can set gpg-enabled: "false" or if you prefer to have the same behaviour in your IDE, add this maven plugin in your pom.xml to skip GPG step in the release phase:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-gpg-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.6</version>
    <configuration>
        <skip>true</skip>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Setup private maven server repositories

If you got a private maven repo to set up in the settings.xml, you can do: Note: we recommend putting those values in your repo secrets.

      with:
        maven-servers: ${{ secrets.MVN_REPO_SERVERS }}

Github actions currently don't support arrays input format. This is why we choose to request the secret MVN_REPO_SERVERS to be a JSON containing the servers definition. Example:

[
  {
    "id": "serverId1",
    "username": "username",
    "password": "password1",
    "privateKey": "privatekey1",
    "passphrase": "passphrase1"
  },
  {
    "id": "serverId2",
    "username": "username2",
    "password": "password2"
  }
]

You will need to put the JSON in one line:

MVN_REPO_SERVERS='[{"id": "serverId1", "username": "username", "password": "password1", "privateKey": "privatekey1", "passphrase": "passphrase1"}, {"id": "serverId2", "username": "username2", "password": "password2"}]'

Setup a docker registry

If you got a private maven repo to set up in the settings.xml, you can do: Note: we recommend putting those values in your repo secrets.

      with:
        docker-registry-id: your-docker-registry-id
        docker-registry-username: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_REGISTRY_USERNAME }}
        docker-registry-password: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_REGISTRY_PASSWORD }}

Note: For docker hub, this would look like:

      with:
        docker-registry-id: registry.hub.docker.com
        docker-registry-username: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_HUB_USERNAME }}
        docker-registry-password: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_HUB_PASSWORD }}

Configure your maven project

You may also be in the case where you got more than one maven projects inside the repo. We added an option that will make the release job move to the according directly before running the release:

    with:
        maven-project-folder: "sub-folder/"

Setup the bot gpg key

Setting up a gpg key for your bot is a good security feature. This way, you can enforce sign commits in your repo, even for your release bot.

Screenshot-2019-11-28-at-20-47-06.png

This github action needs the key ID and the key base64 encoded.

        with:
            gpg-enabled: true
            gpg-key-id: ${{ secrets.GPG_KEY_ID }}
            gpg-key: ${{ secrets.GPG_KEY }}

If you want to set up a passphrase:

        with:
            gpg-enabled: true
            gpg-key-id: ${{ secrets.GPG_KEY_ID }}
            gpg-key: ${{ secrets.GPG_KEY }}
            gpg-passphrase: ${{ secrets.GPG_PASSPHRASE }} 

Generate the key

f you like how we created a SSH key pair, here is the same idea using a docker image to generate a GPG key:

docker run -it qcastel/maven-release:latest  bash
cat >genkey-batch <<EOF
 %no-protection
 Key-Type: default
 Subkey-Type: default
 Name-Real: bot
 Name-Email: [email protected]
 Expire-Date: 0
EOF
gpg --batch --gen-key genkey-batch

Note: Don't exit the docker container as we are not done yet.

Get the KID

You can get the key ID doing the following:
