# Automating Node.js Builds with Azure DevOps Pipelines

# Challenge: Part 1 Continuous integration

Set up a new repository and CI pipeline using any code version provider The CI steps should be created. The pipeline should run the following steps:

* Install dependencies npm install
    
* Linter (ESLint) npm run lint
    
* Formatter (Prettier) npm run prettier
    
* Test (Jest) CI=true npm run test
    
* Build npm run build
    

The pipeline should be successful. Please provide some pull requests to show pass or fail status in the CI pipeline.

## Prerequisites

* Azure Devops Account
    

### Step 1: Create and clone the Repository

1. Create New Project:
    
2. Once inside your organization's Azure DevOps dashboard, click on the "New Project" button, usually at the top right or in the center of the screen.
    
3. Configure Project Details:
    
4. Project Name: Enter **"DevOps Challenge"** as the project name.
    
5. Go to Repos -> Import Repository -> Clone URL: [https://github.com/joaochiroli/Devops-Challenge](https://github.com/joaochiroli/Devops-Challenge)
    

### Step 2: Create and configure azure-pipelines.yml

1. Create file `azure-pipelines.yml`
    
    ```plaintext
    trigger:
    - main
    
    pr:
      branches:
        include:
        -  main
    
    stages:
      - stage: BuildAndTest
        displayName: Build and Test Job
        pool:
          vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'
        jobs:
        - job: Build
          displayName: 'Build and Test Job'
          steps:
          - checkout: self
            path: 'src'
            displayName: 'Checkout code'
    
          - task: UseNode@1
            inputs:
              version: '15.x'
            displayName: 'Install Node.js'
    
          - script: npm install
            workingDirectory: $(Build.SourcesDirectory)/assessment-cc-sre-kubernetes-sr-01/codebase/rdicidr-0.1.0
            displayName: 'Install dependencies'
    
          - script: npm run lint
            workingDirectory: $(Build.SourcesDirectory)/assessment-cc-sre-kubernetes-sr-01/codebase/rdicidr-0.1.0
            displayName: 'Linter (ESLint)'
    
          - script: npm install --save-dev prettier
            workingDirectory: $(Build.SourcesDirectory)/assessment-cc-sre-kubernetes-sr-01/codebase/rdicidr-0.1.0
            displayName: 'Install Formatter (Prettier)'
    
          - script: npm run prettier -- --write
            workingDirectory: $(Build.SourcesDirectory)/assessment-cc-sre-kubernetes-sr-01/codebase/rdicidr-0.1.0
            displayName: 'Format Code (Prettier)'
    
          - script: CI=true npm run test
            workingDirectory: $(Build.SourcesDirectory)/assessment-cc-sre-kubernetes-sr-01/codebase/rdicidr-0.1.0
            displayName: 'Test (Jest)'
    
          - script: npm run build
            workingDirectory: $(Build.SourcesDirectory)/assessment-cc-sre-kubernetes-sr-01/codebase/rdicidr-0.1.0
            displayName: 'Run Build'
    ```
    
2. **Commit and Save**
    
3. Explanations:
    
    1. I created trigger main and pr to start my pipeline. I use 1 stage to Build my application.
        
    2. Task: UseNode@1 → Define the Node.js version
        
    3. The other tasks do what the above steps ask, and the key to this build is to run it in the correct repository.
        

### Step 3: Results
