Read trigger event info in cloud build - google-cloud-build

I have created a cloud build with Trigger event push to branch. I have added 2 files in included file filter. So when ever I updated those files my cloud build is triggering fine. But I want to know which file is updated, based on that I need to implement some other logic.
I can use $(body.commit) it printing all the commit information. but i need only files list which are modified in this commit.

Here a code sample to know which Cloud Run directory has changed in my project
- name: 'gcr.io/cloud-builders/git'
id: "Init devops and list changes"
entrypoint: bash
args:
- -c
- |
git fetch --depth=2
# List the Cloud Run changes
git diff --dirstat=files,0 HEAD^ HEAD -- cloud-run/ | sed 's/^[ 0-9.]\+% //g' | cut -d'/' -f2 | uniq > /workspace/change-in-cloudrun
I got the previous commit and compare what changed. I saved the result in a workspace file to be able to reuse the file later on.

How can I tweak this git log command / bash script to include deleted commits from deleted branches that git reflog should still know about?

So I have this little bash script to output a csv file that shows all my commit history from a specific month.
function make-git-report() {
if [ "$1" != "" ]
then
local month=$1
else
local month=$(date +%m)
fi
local year=$(date +%Y)
local nextYear=$year
local nextMonth=$((month+1))
if [ "$nextMonth" = "13" ]
then
local nextMonth="01"
local nextYear=$((year+1))
fi
local start="$year-$month-01"
local end="$nextYear-$nextMonth-01"
rm -f log.csv
git --no-pager log \
--author="Evert" \
--since="$start" \
--before="$end" \
--branches --remotes --tags --no-decorate --no-merges \
--pretty=format:'§"%ch";"%an";"%s";' --stat | \
grep -v \| | tr -s "\n\n" | tr "\n" '"' | tr "§" "\n" > templog.csv
echo "\nDate;Author;Message;Changes" >> templog.csv
tac templog.csv > log.csv
rm -f templog.csv
}
But I just realized that if a branch is deleted during that month, and it was only merged using a squash merge, then a lot of commits will not show up in my csv file.
I've understood that git reflog will somehow still contain that missing data, but I'm not sure how to merge that information into the output from git log while graciously avoiding things like duplicate entries and maybe more unwanted results that I now can't think of.
Can anybody give me a little hint, a push in the right direction, on how to solve this?
You can't use the reflog to reliably get information about deleted branches :
the log gets updated only if you see the commit at all
e.g : if you take 2 days off, your local repo will have no trace of what happened during those two days ...
two clones of the same repo will not have the same reflog
the reflog will also contain information about rebased/cherry-picked commit (and possibly add duplicate information on the log you are trying to build ?)
the reflog for HEAD will stay around, but reflog for specific branches/remote branches will get deleted if said branch is deleted too
etc ...
I guess you describe a workflow based around a known git central service (github ? gitlab ? azure devops ? ...) where your branches get merged via pull requests.
Each of these services keep a link to the branch of its pull requests :
a generic way to see that is to run git ls-remote, and see what refs are listed (you should see a list of refs/pull/xxx/... or refs/merge-requests/xxx/... or ...)
and read the documentation for said service
You can fetch these pull requests :
# with this refspec : all pull requests will be stored under origin/pull/*,
# as if they were remote branches
git fetch origin +refs/pull/*:refs/remotes/origin/pull/*
# or you may choose to store them in a different set of refs :
git fetch origin +refs/pull/*:refs/pull/*
You may also use the API of said service to check the state of a pull request.
Combining the information above, you may choose, pull request by pull request, whether you should add pull/xyz/head to the list of refs in your git log command or not.
note that, if your branch are squash merged, the "merge commits" will actually not be merge commits, so you would have to choose another way than --no-merges to exclude them from your log (for example : print the commits sha and skip the ones that are known to be a merge request result)

How do I get current git tag without git binary?

I would like to get current branch or tag by reading only the content in .git folder.
I have read many solutions and they all depend on executing git status, git branch, git describe, or something similar and then parse the output. But what if we can't be sure that there is a git binary to call? We can't rely on that.
For a branch, it looks almost very straight forward: cat .git/HEAD, but for tags, it get's a little more complicated. I use git-flow to create my feature-branches and my tags. When I switch to a tag I get:
$ git checkout tags/v0.11.2
Note: checking out 'tags/v0.11.2'.
You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.
If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:
git checkout -b <new-branch-name>
HEAD is now at 86ce70a... Merge branch 'hotfix/0.11.2'
And now the content at .git/HEAD is just a hash: 86ce70a29fdb2c0bdb0b683d00ab61607d8531de.
If I want to see the content of the object related to that hash I do:
$ zlib-flate -uncompress < .git/objects/86/ce70a29fdb2c0bdb0b683d00ab61607d8531de
commit 309tree 9d01f72a058e705a7bc6f9ffc5489096edd2e85a
parent 8c767a0d7538f735c5a537ed14f7f96eb8ae05f8

author ####################################### 1520980212 -0600
committer #################################### 1520980212 -0600
Merge branch 'hotfix/0.11.2'
The last line is the message I put in the commit, but it doesn't mean I can get the tag version from there as the message is different on every commit.
I also tried to find any file containing that hash within the .git folder running:
$ grep -ilr `cat .git/HEAD` .git/
.git/gitk.cache
.git/HEAD
.git/FETCH_HEAD
.git/logs/HEAD
.git/logs/refs/heads/master
.git/logs/refs/remotes/origin/master
But none of the files had anything that pointed me to the tag name.
I'm running out of ideas. Any light would be really appreciated.
We can actually address your use case (knowing which tag is currently checked-out in prod, without using the git binary nor by re-implementing it) if we assume that
you have local access to the git repository (and to git commands) before deploying to prod, and that the prod environment (which does not contains git) contains the same repo with the same .git folder.
Indeed, it suffices to run git pack-refs beforehand, keep the repo and the .git folder in the prod environment and run something like
grep -B1 -e "\^$(cat .git/HEAD)" .git/packed-refs | head -n1 | cut -d ' ' -f 2
to get the ambient tag.

Note: checking out 'V8.8.0'.
You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.
If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:
git checkout -b <new-branch-name>

refs/tags/V8.8.0
To elaborate a bit on this solution, it relies on the git pack-refs command which extracts the SHA1 corresponding to all the refs (tags and remote branches) from the objects of the repo, and write a file .git/packed-refs that recapitulates this information.
It can be noted that the problem of identifying the two SHA1 that can associated to an annotated tag (namely, the SA1 of the tag itself and the SHA1 of the underlying commit) is easily solved by this packed-refs file, without needing to use zlib-flate or so.
(But of course, the prototype shell command proposed in this answer could be adapted because it will only work if the checked-out commit is an annotated tag, cf. the ^ character involved here.)
You might as well assume (or require) that Git is installed, becaues the closest you will come to being able to produce the output of git describe is by copying the algorithm from git describe. You'll also want to have access to at least git rev-parse and git reflog if you try the idea I suggest here.
Note that even git describe might not produce the tag name that you used to run git checkout. If you have two tags that point to the same commit, it's not possible, after-the-fact, to go from revision hash ID to tag name, since checking out either one gets you the same state—except for reflog traces:
You can look at the HEAD reflog (if it exists), because git checkout writes a message here along with the hash IDs. For a git checkout command that checks out a tag, the message is checkout: moving from <name-or-ID> to <tag-name>. So HEAD is detached and the reflog entry for HEAD#{0} matches moving from .* to (.*)$ and the captured regular expression at the end is a valid tag name and running git rev-parse $tag^{commit} produces the correct hash ID, the last checkout was no doubt given that tag name. (Adjust the regexp syntax as necessary depending on which RE grammar it uses.)
You could open and read .git/logs/HEAD directly to avoid using the git binary, but I think the reflog format has changed at least once, and there's no guarantee that it will be stable in the future. It's probably better to use tools that do make some guarantee.

How to work with packages in Liquibase

We use liquibase with oracle. So we have some packages with procedures inside.
In our case changelog structure looks like:
master.xml
|
| release1
| |
| release-maser.xml
| release2
| |
| release-maser.xml
| softObjects
| |
| package-master.xml
| packages
| |
| somePackage.pkb
| somePackage.pks
change sets inside "releases" with runOnChange=false and "softObjects"(that can be create used CREATE OR REPLACE) with runOnChange=true like in best practices:
Try to maintain separate changelog for Stored Procedures and use
runOnChange=”true”. This flag forces LiquiBase to check if the
changeset was modified. If so, liquibase executes the change again.
So every update intall some "delta" change sets from "release" and AFTER reinstal all "softObjects" that was changed and in usual case all is OK.
But if I need to setup new DB, I will get a problem:
in change set from second release I use somePackage(v1), but in next release i need to change logic/API somePackage so I will get somePackage(v2) that can not be used in previously created change sets. So for now I have change set that on update will try to use wrong package version.
For avoid this I can add soft objects directly inside release folder without runOnChange=true when i create it. When I need to change it, i should just copy previous version of file to my new release and make changes inside a COPY.
This approach has some disadvantages:
you make a lot of copy files that can consist from thousands lines of
code(yes I know that it isn`t good)
version control system recognize it as a new file (good challenge for
reviewers)
What i undestand wrong? How should I work with "softObjects", if this objects might be changed?

How to fix the error in the bash shell script?

I am trying a code in shell script. while I am trying to convert the code from batch script to shell script I am getting an error.
BATCH FILE CODE
:: Create a file with all latest snapshots
FOR /F "tokens=5" %%a in (' ec2-describe-snapshots ^|find "SNAPSHOT" ^|sort /+64') do set "var=%%a"
set "latestdate=%var:~0,10%"
call ec2-describe-snapshots |find "SNAPSHOT"|sort /+64 |find "%latestdate%">"%EC2_HOME%\Working\SnapshotsLatest_%date-today%.txt"
CODE IN SHELL SCRIPT
#Create a file with all latest snapshots
FOR snapshot_date in $(' ec2-describe-snapshots | grep -i "SNAPSHOT" |sort /+64') do set "var=$snapshot_date"
set "latestdate=$var:~0,10"
ec2-describe-snapshots |grep -i "SNAPSHOT" |sort /+64 | grep "$latestdate">"$EC2_HOME%/SnapshotsLatest_$today_date"
I want to sort the snapshots according to dates and to save the snapshots that are created in latest date in a file.
SAMPLE OUTPUT OF ece-describe-snapshots:
SNAPSHOT snap-5e20 vol-f660 completed 2013-12-10T08:00:30+0000 100% 109030037527 10 2013-12-10: Daily Backup for i-2111 (VolID:vol-f9a0 InstID:i-2601)
It will contain records like this
I got this code :
latestdate=$(ec2-describe-snapshots | grep ^SNAPSHOT | sort -k 5 | awk '{print $5}')
ec2-describe-snapshots | grep SNAPSHOT.*$latestdate | > "$EC2_HOME/SnapshotsLatest_$today_date"
but getting this error :
grep: 2013-12-10T09:55:34+0000: No such file or directory
grep: 2013-12-11T04:16:49+0000: No such file or directory
grep: 2013-12-11T04:17:57+0000: No such file or directory
i have some snapshots made on amazon, i want to find the latest snapshots made on a date and then want to store them in a file. like date 2013-12-10 snapshots made on this date should be stored in file. Contents of snapshotslatest file should be
SNAPSHOT snap-c17f3 vol-f69a0 completed 2013-12-04T09:24:50+0000 100% 109030037‌​527 10 2013-12-04: Daily Backup for Sanjay_Test_Machine (VolID:vol-f66409a0 InstID:i-26048111)
SNAPSHOT snap-c7d617f9 vol-3d335f6b completed 2013-12-04T09:24:54+0000 100% 1090‌​30037527 10 2013-12-04: Daily Backup for sacht_VPC (VolID:vol-3db InstID:i-ed6)
please not that if there are snapshots created on 2013-12-10, 2013-12-11, 2013-12-12. It means that the latest_date should be 2013-12-12 and all the snaphshot created on 2013-12-12 should be saved in file.
Any suggestion or lead is appreciated.
Neither the batch script nor the shell script you posted are a good starting point so let's start from scratch. Sorry, this is too big for a comment.
You want to find the latest snapshots made on a date and then want to store them in a file.
What does that mean?
Do the snapshot files have a timestamp in their name or in their content?
If not - UNIX does not store file creation timestamps so is a last-modified timestamp adequate?
Do you literally want to concatenate all of your snapshot files into one singe file or do you want to create a file that has a list of the snapshot file names?
Post some sample input (e.g. some snapshot file names and contents if that's where the timestamp is stored) and the expected output given that input.
Update your question to address all of the above, do not try to reply in a comment.
Minor issue, you don't need a pipe when re-directing output, so your line to save should be
ec2-describe-snapshots | grep SNAPSHOT.*$latestdate > "$EC2_HOME/SnapshotsLatest_$today_date"
Now the main issue here, is that the grep is messed up. I haven't worked with amazon snapshots, but judging by your example descriptions, you should be doing something like
latestdate=$(ec2-describe-snapshots | grep -oP "\d+-\d+-\d+" | sort -r | head -1)
This will get all the dates containing the form dddd-dd-dd from the file (I'm assuming the two dates in each snapshot line always match up), sort them in reverse order (latest first) and take the head which is the latest date, storing it in $latestdate.
Then to store all snapshots with the given date do something like
ec2-describe-snapshots | grep -oP "SNAPSHOT(.*?)$lastdateT(.*?)\)" > "$EC2_HOME/SnapshotsLatest_$today_date"
This will get all text starting with SNAPSHOT, containing the given date, and ending in a closing ")" and save it. Note, you may have to mess around with it a bit, if ")" can be present elsewhere.

Adding a tag to an EC2 Snapshot using ec2-api-tools

I've created a snapshot using ec2-api-tools of a volume within my AWS EC2 account. Currently I have:
>> ec2addsnap vol-xxxxxxxx -d 'My-first-Snapshot'
SNAPSHOT snap-12345678 vol-xxxxxxxx pending 2013-01-30T17:09:35+0000 086018780037 8 My-first-Snapshot
What I want to do is add a --tag Name='Name Tag' to this newly created snapshot from the snap-12345678 id in the response.
This works>
>> ec2addtag snap-12345678 --tag Name='Name Tag'
How can I automate this? I've started writing a simple shell script - but I'm not sure how I would query the response from the initial ec2addsnap to grab the newly created snapshot id in order to apply ec2addtag? Cheers (Thought I was posting this in Serverfault - my apologies)
I managed to solve this via the use of awk. My Bash Script =
today=$(date +"%d-%m-%Y")
tagname=$2
ec2addsnap vol-$1 -d $2'-'$today;
ec2dsnap | grep $2'-'$today | awk -v tagname=$tagname '{print "Adding Tag too: " $2}; system("ec2addtag "$2" --tag Name=\""tagname"\"")';
