Continuous Integration in TuskLang - Bash Guide

🔄 Revolutionary Continuous Integration Configuration

Continuous integration (CI) in TuskLang transforms your configuration files into automated, reliable build and test pipelines. No more manual deployments or fragile shell scripts—everything lives in your TuskLang configuration with dynamic pipeline definitions, automated testing, and intelligent artifact management.

> "We don't bow to any king" – TuskLang CI breaks free from traditional CI/CD constraints and brings modern automation to your Bash applications.

🚀 Core CI Directives

Basic CI Setup

#ci: enabled                        # Enable CI
#ci-enabled: true                   # Alternative syntax
#ci-pipeline: true                  # Enable pipeline
#ci-artifacts: true                 # Enable artifact management
#ci-notifications: slack            # Notification channel
#ci-parallel: true                  # Enable parallel jobs

Advanced CI Configuration

#ci-build-image: tusk-ci:latest     # Build image
#ci-cache: true                     # Enable build cache
#ci-secrets: true                   # Enable secrets management
#ci-badge: true                     # Enable status badge
#ci-rollback: auto                  # Auto-rollback on failure
#ci-schedule: "0 2   *"           # Scheduled pipeline

🔧 Bash CI Implementation

Basic CI Pipeline Manager

#!/bin/bash
Load CI configuration
source <(tsk load ci.tsk)
CI configuration
CI_ENABLED="${ci_enabled:-true}"
CI_PIPELINE="${ci_pipeline:-true}"
CI_ARTIFACTS="${ci_artifacts:-true}"
CI_NOTIFICATIONS="${ci_notifications:-slack}"
CI_PARALLEL="${ci_parallel:-true}"
CI pipeline manager
class CIPipelineManager {
    constructor() {
        this.enabled = CI_ENABLED
        this.pipeline = CI_PIPELINE
        this.artifacts = CI_ARTIFACTS
        this.notifications = CI_NOTIFICATIONS
        this.parallel = CI_PARALLEL
        this.jobs = []
        this.stats = {
            runs: 0,
            passed: 0,
            failed: 0,
            artifacts: 0
        }
    }
    
    addJob(job) {
        this.jobs.push(job)
    }
    
    runPipeline() {
        if (!this.enabled) return
        this.stats.runs++
        for (const job of this.jobs) {
            const result = this.runJob(job)
            if (result.success) {
                this.stats.passed++
            } else {
                this.stats.failed++
                if (this.pipeline === 'auto-rollback') {
                    this.rollback()
                }
            }
        }
        this.sendNotification()
    }
    
    runJob(job) {
        // Implementation for running a CI job
        return { success: true }
    }
    
    rollback() {
        // Implementation for rollback
    }
    
    sendNotification() {
        // Implementation for sending notifications
    }
    
    getStats() {
        return { ...this.stats }
    }
}
Initialize CI pipeline manager
const ciManager = new CIPipelineManager()

Dynamic Pipeline Definition

#!/bin/bash
Dynamic pipeline definition
define_ci_pipeline() {
    local pipeline_file="${ci_pipeline_file:-/etc/tusk/ci-pipeline.yml}"
    if [[ -f "$pipeline_file" ]]; then
        echo "Loading CI pipeline from $pipeline_file"
        # Parse and execute pipeline steps
        # (Example: use yq or shyaml to parse YAML)
    else
        echo "No CI pipeline file found: $pipeline_file"
        return 1
    fi
}

Artifact Management

#!/bin/bash
Artifact management
ci_manage_artifacts() {
    local action="$1"
    local artifact_dir="${ci_artifact_dir:-/var/artifacts}"
    case "$action" in
        "save")
            local file="$2"
            cp "$file" "$artifact_dir/"
            echo "✓ Artifact saved: $file"
            ;;
        "list")
            ls -lh "$artifact_dir"
            ;;
        "clean")
            rm -rf "$artifact_dir"/*
            echo "✓ Artifacts cleaned"
            ;;
        *)
            echo "Unknown artifact action: $action"
            return 1
            ;;
    esac
}

🚨 Troubleshooting CI

Common Issues and Solutions

1. Pipeline Execution Issues

Debug pipeline execution
debug_ci_pipeline() {
    echo "Debugging CI pipeline..."
    define_ci_pipeline
}

2. Artifact Management Issues

Debug artifact management
debug_ci_artifacts() {
    echo "Debugging artifact management..."
    ci_manage_artifacts list
}

    else
        echo "⚠ CI secrets management not enabled"
    fi
    # Check artifact permissions
    local artifact_dir="${ci_artifact_dir:-/var/artifacts}"
    if [[ -d "$artifact_dir" ]]; then
        local perms=$(stat -c %a "$artifact_dir")
        if [[ "$perms" == "700" ]]; then
            echo "✓ Artifact directory permissions secure: $perms"
        else
            echo "⚠ Artifact directory permissions should be 700, got: $perms"
        fi
    else
        echo "⚠ Artifact directory not found"
    fi
    # Check rollback configuration
    if [[ "${ci_rollback}" == "auto" ]]; then
        echo "✓ CI auto-rollback enabled"
