Build Go with Jenkins from Bitbucket

Push the built binary file to the repository isn’t an efficient way, so we need to make Jenkins handle that. This post shows the simple steps to build Golang using Jenkins from Bitbucket.

Continuous Integration CI

Here simple snippet Golang that only print a statement:

Hello, Build Golang using Jenkins!

Configure Jenkins settings on Your Repo

Webhook to Jenkins for Bitbucket Server

then enable it :)

Install and Configure Go Plugin in Jenkins

Manage Jenkins -> Manage Plugins -> Available -> Go Plugin -> Install

Go Plugin

Manage Jenkins -> Global Tool Configuration -> Add Go

then apply -> save :)

Create Job on Jenkins

don’t forget to add access key to you repo

Source code management

Build Triggers

Build environment

In build, the first command is to download all dependencies before building (Go packages). Second command, to enter the folder (directory) that include the main.go. The final command is to build the Go app.

Build

apply and save your changes.

Now when you create pull request on Bitbucket then merge it to the master, the Jenkins job will detect that then will build the Go app.

I hope you learning from this post!
