Cicada: Write CI/CD pipelines in TypeScript, test them locally

Quickstart

Test a pipeline on your local device in < 2 minutes

# Install Cicada
npm install -g @cicadahq/cicada 

# Set up Cicada in a project
cd path/to/my/project
cicada init

# Test your pipeline locally
cicada run <my-pipeline>

Deploy your pipeline to our cloud so it runs on every PR/commit:

  1. Sign up at cicada.build/dashboard
  2. Link your repository using our GitHub integration
  3. Push your pipeline to GitHub

Example

import { Job, Pipeline } from "https://deno.land/x/cicada/mod.ts";

const job = new Job({
  name: "My First Job",
  image: "ubuntu:22.04",
  steps: [
    {
      name: "Run bash",
      run: "echo hello from bash!",
    },
    {
      name: "Run deno/typescript",
      run: () => {
        console.log("Hello from deno typescript");
      },
    },
  ],
});

export default new Pipeline([job]);

Terminology

  • Pipeline: Pipelines are TypeScript files like build.ts, deploy.ts, or run_tests.ts. They are checked into your repository and run when triggered by an event in your repository, or when triggered manually, or at a defined schedule. A pipeline takes one parameter: an array of jobs.
  • Jobs: A job is a lightweight container that executes code. It takes one parameter: an array of steps.
  • Steps: A step is either a shell script or Deno/TypeScript script that executes in its parent job’s container
