Deck

Running Deck locally

Deck can be run locally by executing ./prow/cmd/deck/runlocal. The scripts starts Deck via Bazel using:

• pre-generated data (extracted from a running Prow instance)
• the local config.yaml
• the local static files, template files and lenses

Open your browser and go to: http://localhost:8080

Debugging via Intellij / VSCode

This section describes how to debug Deck locally by running it inside VSCode or Intellij.

TEST_INFRA_DIR=${GOPATH}/src/k8s.io/test-infra

# Prepare assets
cd ${TEST_INFRA_DIR}
bazel build //prow/cmd/deck:image.tar
mkdir -p /tmp/deck
tar -xvf ./bazel-bin/prow/cmd/deck/asset-base-layer.tar -C /tmp/deck 
tar -xvf ./bazel-bin/prow/cmd/deck/spyglass-lenses-layer.tar -C /tmp/deck

# Start Deck via go or in your IDE with the following arguments:
--config-path=${TEST_INFRA_DIR}/config/prow/config.yaml
--job-config-path=${TEST_INFRA_DIR}/config/jobs
--hook-url=http://prow.k8s.io
--spyglass
--template-files-location=/tmp/deck/template
--static-files-location=/tmp/deck/static
--spyglass-files-location=/tmp/deck/lenses

Rerun Prow Job via Prow UI

Rerun prow job can be done by visiting prow UI, locate prow job and rerun job by clicking on the ↻ button then clicking Rerun button. For prow on github, the permission is controlled by github membership, and configured as part of deck configuration, see rerun_auth_configs for k8s prow.

See example below:

This is also available for non github prow if the frontend is secured and allow_anyone is set to true for the job.
