Easy publish on CI env

[jaumard]

Hello :)

I've open this issue on pub dart-lang/pub#2227

But look like it will take time to be implemented properly, I think it can be done in this plugin until an official solution is available.

A pubx publish --token that will set the token into /.pub-cache/credentials.json and then forward the publish to pub.

What do you think ?

Hi @jaumard,

I'm sorry. I just saw this now. I have to figure out my notification prefs.

Can you describe the command in full? What it's for, how it works, what are its options, etc?

[jaumard]

No problem :)

So I have some repo where I want to have automatic deployment in when I'm pushing a new tag for exemple, currently it's not really easy as we have to manually push our login/token into /.pub-cache/credentials.json to make the pub publish to work. If not it ask for a login and it's not possible on CI.

Here is what I have in my /.pub-cache/credentials.json:

{
  "accessToken": "TOKEN_VALUE",
  "refreshToken": "REFRESH_TOKEN_VALUE",
  "tokenEndpoint": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token",
  "scopes": [
    "openid",
    "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email"
  ],
  "expiration": 1576674549551
}

So until pub give us an easy way to publish on ci we can have this command that create the /.pub-cache/credentials.json with that content and fill the accessToken and refreshToken (maybe update the expiration to always have a valid value)

So my idea is to have a command like:

pubx publish --access-token MY_SUPER_TOKEN --refresh-token MY_REFRESH_TOKEN

That command has two step to do:

• Create/override /.pub-cache/credentials.json
• call pub publish --force to publish the package on pub

Is it more clear @shyndman ?

[shyndman]

Yes. Thank you. I think this is a perfect addition.

Are you looking to contribute this functionality?

[shyndman]

One thought about --force: maybe we want to keep that option as well, and forward it along?

In its absence, fail the command with a non-zero exit if there are errors, so CI can be aware of any problems.

is there progress here? I would like to automate pub publish as well.

It looks like pub has not yet finalized their API spec for publishing stuff (see dart-lang/pub#1381).
