Drone plugin to detect files changed in a commit range.

This goal of this plugin is to provide an alternative to the pathschanged conversion extension as a pipeline plugin.

Usage

NOTE: This plugin writes to DRONE_OUTPUT which is a feature of Harness CI. The DRONE_OUTPUT file will contain a MATCH_SEEN variable which will be true if a match was seen, and false otherwise.

To use this plugin in a Drone pipeline, you must manage the DRONE_OUTPUT file and variable yourself.

This extension uses doublestar for matching paths changed in your commit range, refer to their documentation for all supported patterns.

The following settings changes this plugin's behavior.

• github_token: github personal access token (required)
• github_server: github server URL (optional)
• include: one or more file patterns (must specify this and/or exclude)
• exclude: one or more file patterns (must specify this and/or include)

Below is an example .drone.yml that uses this plugin.

kind: pipeline
name: default

steps:
- name: run pathschanged plugin
  image: jimsheldon/drone-pathschanged
  pull: if-not-exists
  environment:
    DRONE_OUTPUT: output_variables.txt
