Fetch Build from GCB

Latest Release

A Github action to fetch a given build from GCB and extract the docker digest of a target image.

Inputs

Parameter Description Required Default
target_image The name of the image to find the digest for Y N/A
google_application_credentials Service account credentials for your Google Cloud project Y N/A

Output

The action will automatically inspect the event payload and only set the output on when a successful GCB build has been found and parsed. It will however, still "succeed" as long as the event is valid, but it will not set the digest output. For this reason, it is highly recommended that you guard the job with the if condition found in the appropriate example below.

  • digest The SHA256 docker digest of the image.
  • sha The git SHA associated with the image if available.

Usage

This action uses a Google Cloud service account to fetch build information from the API.

With a repo mirrored to GCR and gets status GCB webhooks

If your repository is mirrored into GCR and the build information appears on your repository with a PR status from my-project-1234, then you need to have your workflow response to status events.

If your build creates an image tagged as my-app:{commit_sha}, then your workflow might look like this:

on: status

jobs:
  find_digest:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    if: |
      github.event.state == 'success' &&
        contains(github.event.description, 'GCB build')
  steps:
    - id: find_digest
      uses: craig-day/fetch-build-from-gcb@v4
      with:
        target_image: my-app
        google_application_credentials: ${{ secrets.GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS }}

    - name: Something that uses the digest
      run: echo $IMAGE_DIGEST
      env:
        IMAGE_DIGEST: ${{ steps.find_digest.outputs.digest }}

With a repo connected to the GCB app and gets GCB check_runs

If your repository is connected to the GCB app and the build information appears on your repository with a PR status from Google Cloud Build, then you need to have your workflow response to check_run events.

If your build creates an image tagged as fun-app:{git_tag}, then your workflow might include steps that look like this:

on:
  check_run:
    types:
      - completed

jobs:
  from_gcb_check_run:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    if: |
      github.event.check_run.app.name == 'Google Cloud Build' &&
        github.event.check_run.conclusion == 'success'
  steps:
    - id: find_digest
      uses: craig-day/fetch-build-from-gcb@v4
      with:
        target_image: fun-app
        google_application_credentials: ${{ secrets.GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS }}

    - name: Something that uses the digest
      run: echo $IMAGE_DIGEST
      env:
        IMAGE_DIGEST: ${{ steps.find_digest.outputs.digest }}
