HOWTO: Integrating Gauge with GoCD

GoCD is a continuous integration and deployment tool.

Setup

• Setup a new pipeline on Go

  

• Download and Install Gauge on the Go Agents

• Install the required gauge language plugin on the Go agents.

Tips on Installation

• Gauge is installed system wide by default and not user wide. However, plugins are installed per user. So plugins should be installed via user account with which the Go agent executes. Refer default install location of Gauge and its plugins here.
• Alternately, you can set custom location for plugins so that its accessible to Go agent running as a different user.

Create execution task

• Create a new task which will run gauge run specs.

• If you want to run only a subset of specs, you can use Tagged Execution.

  Eg. gauge run --tags "tag1 & tag2" specs

• Adding a flag -p runs them using Parallel Execution.

• Run against specific Environments using the --env flag

• See the Help for list of all the flags that can be used.
