Spinnaker Plugin (PF4J-based) that is a custom pipeline stage. The pf4jStagePlugin creates a custom pipeline stage that waits a random number of seconds before signaling success. This plugin implements the SimpleStage PF4J extension point in Orca. The plugin consists of a random-wait-orca Kotlin server component and a random-wait-deck React UI component that uses the rollup.js plugin library.

This is for demo only and not meant to be used in a production environment.

Version Compatibility

Plugin	Spinnaker Platform
1.0.x	1.19.x
1.1.x	1.20.x

Usage

1. Run ./gradlew releaseBundle
2. Put the /build/distributions/<project>-<version>.zip into the configured plugins location for your service.
3. Configure the Spinnaker service. Put the following in the service yml to enable the plugin and configure the extension:

spinnaker:
  extensibility:
    plugins:
      Armory.RandomWaitPlugin:
        enabled: true
        extensions:
          armory.randomWaitStage:
            enabled: true
            config:
              defaultMaxWaitTime: 60

Or use the examplePluginRepository to avoid copying the plugin .zip artifact.

Debugging

To debug the random-wait-orca server component inside a Spinnaker service (like Orca) using IntelliJ Idea follow these steps:

1. Run ./gradlew releaseBundle in the plugin project.
2. Copy the generated .plugin-ref file under build in the plugin project submodule for the service to the plugins directory under root in the Spinnaker service that will use the plugin .
3. Link the plugin project to the service project in IntelliJ (from the service project use the + button in the Gradle tab and select the plugin build.gradle).
4. Configure the Spinnaker service the same way specified above.
5. Create a new IntelliJ run configuration for the service that has the VM option -Dpf4j.mode=development and does a Build Project before launch.
6. Debug away...
