Chapter 8. Adding when Expressions

Using when expressions with parameters

$ vi ~/tmp/logger.yaml

apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1
kind: Task
metadata:
  name: logger
spec:
  params:
    - name: text
      type: string
  steps:
    - name: log
      image: registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/ubi-minimal
      script: |
        DATE=$(date +%d/%m/%Y\ %T)
        echo [$DATE] - $(params.text)

$ kubectl create -f ~/tmp/logger.yaml

$ vi ~/tmp/guess.yaml

apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1
kind: Pipeline
metadata:
  name: guess-game
spec:
  params:
    - name: number
      description: Pick a number
      type: string
  tasks:
    - name: win
      params:
        - name: text
          value: You win
      taskRef:
        name: logger
      when:
        - input: $(params.number)
          operator: in
          values: ['3']

$ kubectl create -f ~/tmp/guess.yaml

$ tkn pipeline start guess-game --showlog

? Value for param `number` of type `string`? 3

В общем только на 3 выводит лог.

Using the notin operator

$ vi ~/tmp/guess-notin.yaml

apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1
kind: Pipeline
metadata:
  name: guess-game-notin
spec:
  params:
    - name: number
      description: Pick a number
      type: string
  tasks:
    - name: win
      params:
        - name: text
          value: You win
      taskRef:
        name: logger
      when:
        - input: $(params.number)
          operator: in
          values: ['3']
    - name: lose
      params:
        - name: text
          value: You lose
      taskRef:
        name: logger
      when:
        - input: $(params.number)
          operator: notin
          values: ['3']

$ kubectl create -f ~/tmp/guess-notin.yaml

$ tkn pipeline start guess-game-notin --showlog

Теперь 3 и не 3.

Using when expressions with results

$ vi ~/tmp/guess-result.yaml

apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1
kind: Task
metadata:
  name: random-number-generator
spec:
  results:
    - name: random-number
      description: random number
  steps:
    - name: generate-number
      image: registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/ubi-minimal
      script: |
        NUMBER=$((1 + $RANDOM % 3))
        echo Random number picked, result is $NUMBER
        echo -n $NUMBER > $(results.random-number.path)
---
apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1
kind: Pipeline
metadata:
  name: guess-result
spec:
  tasks:
    - name: generate
      taskRef:
        name: random-number-generator
    - name: win
      params:
        - name: text
          value: You win
      taskRef:
        name: logger
      when:
        - input: $(tasks.generate.results.random-number)
          operator: in
          values: ['3']
      runAfter:
        - generate
    - name: lose
      params:
        - name: text
          value: You lose
      taskRef:
        name: logger
      when:
        - input: $(tasks.generate.results.random-number)
          operator: notin
          values: ['3']
      runAfter:
        - generate

$ kubectl create -f ~/tmp/guess-result.yaml

$ tkn pipeline start guess-result --showlog

Assessments

Hello Admin

Build a pipeline that will take a username as a parameter. If the username is admin, log the Hello Admin text. For any other username, output a simple Hello message.

$ cat << 'EOF' | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1

      script: |
        DATE=$(date +%d/%m/%Y\ %T)
        echo [$DATE] - $(params.text)

Critical Hit

In role-playing games using dice, rolling a 20 on a 20-sided dice is sometimes referred to as rolling a critical hit. For this exercise, build a pipeline that would log Critical Hit when the result of a dice roll is 20 . To do so, use a task that will generate a random number between 1 and 20 and produce a result that the when expression of a second task can pick up.

$ cat << 'EOF' | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1
kind: Task
metadata:
  name: dice-roll-result
spec:
  params:
    - name: sides
      type: string
  results:
    - name: dice-roll
      description: Random number generated by the dice roll
  steps:
    - name: generate-random-number
      image: node:14
      script: |
        #!/usr/bin/env node
        const fs = require("fs");
        const max = $(params.sides)
        let randomNumber =  Math.floor(Math.random() * Math.floor(max)) + 1;
        fs.writeFile("$(results.dice-roll.path)", randomNumber.toString(), () => {
          console.log("Dice rolled");
        });

Not working on weekends

Even your servers deserve a break. Build a pipeline with a task that Tekton will only execute on weekdays. The task should log a Working message to simulate some work.

$ cat << 'EOF' | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1
kind: Task
metadata:
  name: get-day
spec:
  results:
    - name: daynumber
      description: day of week, 0 is Sunday
  steps:
    - name: get-day
      image: registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/ubi
      script: |
        date +%w | tr -d '\n' > $(results.daynumber.path)

          operator: in
          values: ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5"]
