Defining and creating pipeline resources

Pipeline resources are artifacts that are used as inputs to a task and can be output by a task.

Procedure

After you create tasks, create pipeline resources that contain the specifics of the Git repository and the image registry to be used in the pipeline during execution as follows:

  1. Create a PipelineResource that defines the Git repository for the front-end application:

     $ tkn resource create
 ? Enter a name for a pipeline resource : ui-repo
 ? Select a resource type to create : git
 ? Enter a value for url : http://github.com/openshift-pipelines/vote-ui.git
 ? Enter a value for revision :
 New git resource "ui-repo" has been created

  2. Create a PipelineResource that defines the OpenShift internal image registry to which you want to push the front-end image:

    $ tkn resource create
? Enter a name for a pipeline resource : ui-image
? Select a resource type to create : image
? Enter a value for url : image-registry.openshift-image-registry.svc:5000/pipelines-tutorial/ui:latest
? Enter a value for revision :
New git resource "ui-image" has been created

  3. Create a PipelineResource that defines the Git repository for the back-end application:

    $ tkn resource create
? Enter a name for a pipeline resource : api-repo
? Select a resource type to create : git
? Enter a value for url : http://github.com/openshift-pipelines/vote-api.git
? Enter a value for revision :
New git resource "api-repo" has been created

  4. Create a PipelineResource that defines the OpenShift internal image registry to which you want to push the back-end image:

    $ tkn resource create
? Enter a name for a pipeline resource : api-image
? Select a resource type to create : image
? Enter a value for url : image-registry.openshift-image-registry.svc:5000/pipelines-tutorial/api:latest
? Enter a value for revision :
New git resource "api-image" has been created

  5. View the list of resources created:

    $ tkn resource ls

NAME        TYPE    DETAILS
api-repo    git     url: http://github.com/openshift-pipelines/vote-api.git
ui-repo     git     url: http://github.com/openshift-pipelines/vote-ui.git
api-image   image   url: image-registry.openshift-image-registry.svc:5000/pipelines-tutorial/api:latest
ui-image    image   url: image-registry.openshift-image-registry.svc:5000/pipelines-tutorial/ui:latest
