install_plugin_ci_artifact.md

Uploads a plugin CI artifact to a Mattermost server. You can modify the plugin-install-gh-artifact.sh how you see fit, to connect with your MM admin account.

First you'll need to install and configure the GitHub CLI tool https://cli.github.com

Usage:

./plugin-install-gh-artifact.sh (MM site URL) (actions workflow run URL)


./plugin-install-gh-artifact.sh https://app-rhs-view-builder.test.mattermost.cloud https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-plugin-jira/actions/runs/6112604241

Go to a PR's CI checks, and copy the URL from the ci / plugin-ci / build (pull_request) job. Use this value as the actions workflow run URL parameter above.

echo "Downloading artifacts for GH action run $runNumber."
gh run download $runNumber --dir $directory --repo $repo || (echo "artifact download failed" && exit 1)

filepath=$(find $directory -name "*.gz")

pluginid=$(echo $filepath | cut -d'/' -f 3 | rev | cut -d'-' -f2- | rev)

echo "Downloaded $pluginid plugin. Stored in directory '$directory'."

echo "Uploading $pluginid plugin to MM server"
mmctl plugin add $filepath --force || (echo "MM plugin upload failed" && exit 1)
mmctl plugin enable $pluginid || (echo "MM plugin enable failed" && exit 1)

rm -rf $directory

@mickmister For using the alias mmctl in the script, we should write it as $mmctl otherwise, on Ubuntu, it gives the error mmctl: command not found.
Not sure about how it behaves on mac.
