OpenWhisk Gradle plugin

Apache OpenWhisk is a serverless event-based programming service.

This plugin enables to manage OpenWhisk actions from a Gradle build script, without requiring to install anything on your system.

Quick start - minimal configuration

Add the following to build.gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.github.vic-cw:openwhisk-gradle-plugin:de1293'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'com.github.viccw.openwhisk-gradle-plugin'

task buildCloudFunctionZip (type: Zip) {
    // Logic to build artifact
    ...
}

updateDockerAction {
    artifactBuildTaskName = "buildCloudFunctionZip"
}

Set the following environment variables:

• OPENWHISK_API_HOST: host of target OpenWhisk platform, for example eu-gb.functions.cloud.ibm.com
• OPENWHISK_AUTHORIZATION_KEY: key provided by OpenWhisk platform
• OPENWHISK_NAMESPACE: namespace of the action to update, for example yourcloudfoundryorg_yourcloudfoundryspace
• OPENWHISK_ACTION_NAME: action name
• OPENWHISK_WEB_SECURE_KEY: a 16 digit integer to secure access to OpenWhisk action

Use it:

// This updates the corresponding action on the target OpenWhisk platform
// with the output of the buildCloudFunctionZip task
./gradlew updateDockerAction
