Release

The Jenkins release pipeline that versions, builds, and publishes the workbench and its Cypress E2E tests to npm.

This Jenkins pipeline facilitates the release process for the graphdb-workbench project. It automates versioning, building, and publishing to npm, ensuring a smooth release workflow.

Key Features

Cloud-based execution using aws-small agents
Publishes both the main project and Cypress E2E tests to npm
Uses Keeper Secrets Manager (KSM) for secure credentials
Slack integration for release notifications (optional)
Git tagging and pushing included
Automatically cleans up after both success and failure

Tools and Environment

Node.js: Runs using Docker image node:22-bullseye
Keeper Secrets Manager (KSM): Used for npm and Git credentials
Git: Auto-tags the release and pushes changes to GitHub

Pipeline Parameters Details

GIT_BRANCH: Git branch to release from (default: master)
RELEASE_VERSION: Required version to release
NOTIFY_SLACK: Whether to send a Slack notification
SLACK_CHANNEL: Slack channel to notify (if enabled)

Pipeline Stages

1. Prepare & Publish

Checks out the selected Git branch
Runs:
```
npm run install:ci
npm run build
```
Runs the same preparation in e2e-tests/
Uses KSM to set up the .npmrc auth token
Publishes both main and E2E packages to npm
Logs current npm user with npm whoami

Post Actions

On Success:

Commits and tags the release:

git commit -a -m 'Release ${RELEASE_VERSION}'
git tag -a v${RELEASE_VERSION} -m 'Release v${RELEASE_VERSION}'

Uses KSM for Git credentials and pushes changes + tags
Optionally sends Slack notification if enabled

On Failure:

Sends an email to the build user
Restores .npmrc and removes any local tokens

Notes

Builds have a timeout of 15 minutes and cannot run concurrently
.npmrc is mounted into the container and cleaned afterward
Slack integration is optional and safely wrapped with fallback
