Jenkins pipeline git command submodule update

问题

I want to update submodule on git clone.

Is there a way to do this with Jenkins pipeline Git command?

Currently I'm doing this...

git branch: 'master',
    credentialsId: 'bitbucket',
    url: 'ssh://bitbucket.org/hello.git'

It doesn't however update submodule once cloned

回答1:

With the current Git plugin, you don't even need that.

The GIT plugin supports repositories with submodules which in turn have submodules themselves.
This must be turned on though:

in Job Configuration -> Section Source Code Management, Git -> Advanced Button (under Branches to build) -> Recursively update submodules

But the OP is using pipeline.

So a simple first build step is enough:

git submodule update --init --recursive

However, the OP adds:

Yes but if I'm using sh 'git submodule update --init --recursive', this will use $HOME/id_rsa right? I want to pass in my private key for this command if possible.

It is possible: In the Pipeline syntax, you can define environment variables.
Which means you can set GIT_SSH_COMMAND (with Git 2.10+).
That allows you to reference your own private key.

pipeline {
    agent any

    environment {
        GIT_SSH_COMMAND = 'ssh -i /path/to/my/private/key'
    }

    stages {
        stage('Build') {
            steps {
                sh 'printenv'
                sh 'git submodule update --init --recursive'
            }
        }
    }
}

If any clone involve an ssh url, that ssh clone will use the right private key.

The git command as a pipeline step is rather limited as it provides a default implementation of the more complex checkout command. For more advanced configuration, you should use checkout command, for which you can pass a whole lot of parameters, including the desired submodules configuration.

What you want to use is probably something like this :

checkout([$class: 'GitSCM',
          branches: [[name: '*/master']],
          doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations: false,
          extensions: [[$class: 'SubmoduleOption',
                        disableSubmodules: false,
                        parentCredentials: false,
                        recursiveSubmodules: true,
                        reference: '',
                        trackingSubmodules: false]], 
          submoduleCfg: [], 
          userRemoteConfigs: [[url: 'your-git-server/your-git-repository']]])

From the documentation it is often cumbersome to write these kind of lines, I recommand you use instead Jenkins very good Snippet Generator (YourJenkins > yourProject > PipelineSyntax) to automatically generate the checkout line !

checkout([
    $class: 'GitSCM', 
    branches: scm.branches, 
    doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations: false, 
    extensions: [[
      $class: 'SubmoduleOption', 
      disableSubmodules: false, 
      parentCredentials: true, 
      recursiveSubmodules: true, 
      reference: '', 
      trackingSubmodules: false
    ]], 
    submoduleCfg: [], 
    userRemoteConfigs: scm.userRemoteConfigs
  ])
