Default CI Rule using API

In Facets, you can define default CI Rules for designated blueprints, environments, and release streams, providing a baseline configuration for Continuous Integration.

Using REST APIs to set default CI Rules

First, let's outline the logic we will employ to establish and configure default CI Rules.

  • Facets uses ruleID to uniquely identify every CI Rule.
  • The ruleID is unique for each CI Rule and can be extracted from the URL after selecting the CI Rule.

This guide will help you configure the default CI Rule using API calls. Refer to the CI Rules documentation to know more about it.

To achieve this, use the following two APIs:

  1. getArtifactRoutingRule

  2. updateArtifactRoutingRule

Step-by-step instructions

Step 1: Get the ruleID

  1. Navigate to Artifacts > CI Rules and select the required CI Rule.
  2. Now, locate the ruleID from the URL and copy it.
    Eg: https://<control_plane_url>/capc/stack/<bp_name>/artifacts/ci-rules/edit/

Step 2: Get the Artifact Routing Rule

Perform a REST API GET call using the ruleID as specified in the Get Artifact Routing Rule documentation.

Response:

You should get a response with multiple fields. Copy the entire response body.

Step 3: Update the Response body

In the response body from the previous step, locate the default: false parameter.

Modify the key to “isDefault” and set the value to true or false.

Setting it to true designates the CI Rule as the default, while setting it to false removes the CI rule if is set as default.

Step 4: Update the Artifact Routing Rule

Perform a REST API PUT call as specified in the Update Artifact Routing Rule documentation.

Response:

You should get a response with the updated values denoting that the request has been successfully sent.

📘

  • Note that each Blueprint and Release Stream / Environment combination can have only one default CI Rule at a time.
  • If you intend to replace an existing default rule with a new one, ensure that you first set the attribute "isDefault" to "false" for the old rule.
