At Codeship, we’re pleased to be able to integrate with several third-party products across a variety of areas to ensure your CI/CD workflows are that much smoother. For example, Raygun lets you collect and track errors and deployments for your applications.

By using Raygun, you can keep track of error logs and deployment events easier. Their documentation does a great job of providing more information, in addition to the setup instructions below for integrating with Codeship Pro and Codeship Basic.

Codeship Pro

You will need to add your Raygun API key and other required variables to your encrypted environment variables that you encrypt and include in your codeship-services.yml file.

Installing Raygun dependency

Raygun maintains a list of modules that can be installed as dependencies for a wide variety of languages and frameworks. You will want to visit their documentation and follow the instructions to use the dependency that is right for your application.

This dependency will need to be installed directly in your application’s dependencies or separately via the Dockerfile that you build via your codeship-services.yml file.

Deploying and sending data

Once you have your API key and other required variables and dependencies installed, you will either run deployment commands or send data via API calls that you can make in your codeship-steps.yml file.

Here is an example using the Raygun deployment commands:

- name: raygun-deploy
  service: app
  command: raygun.sh

Notice that in this case we are calling a script named raygun.sh. Inside this script, we could have the Raygun deployment commands:

while getopts "t:a:v:n:e:g:h" opt; do
    case $opt in
    t)
        RAYGUN_AUTH_TOKEN=$OPTARG
        ;;
    a)
        RAYGUN_API_KEY=$OPTARG
        ;;
    v)
        DEPLOYMENT_VERSION=$OPTARG
        ;;
    n)
        DEPLOYED_BY=$OPTARG
        ;;
    e)
        EMAIL_ADDRESS=$OPTARG
        ;;
    g)
        GIT_HASH=$OPTARG
        ;;
    h)
        HELP=1
        ;;
    esac
done
shift $((OPTIND-1))
if [ $HELP -eq 1 ]
then
cat << EOF
usage: deployment.sh [-h] -v VERSION -t TOKEN -a API_KEY
                      -e EMAIL -n NAME [-g GIT_HASH] NOTES
  h:          show this help
  v VERSION:  version string for this deployment
  t TOKEN:    your Raygun External Auth Token
  a API_KEY:  the API Key for your Raygun Application
  n NAME:     the name of the person who created the deployment
  e EMAIL:    the email address of the person who created the deployment.
              Should be a Raygun users email
  g GIT_HASH: the git commit hash this deployment was built from
  NOTES:      the release notes for this deployment.
              Will be formatted using a Markdown parser
EOF
exit
fi
[ "$1" = "--" ] &amp;&amp; shift
if [ "$1" != "" ]
then
    DEPLOYMENT_NOTES=$1
    DEPLOYMENT_NOTES=`echo $DEPLOYMENT_NOTES | sed s/\"/\\\\\\\\\"/g`
fi
url="https://app.raygun.com/deployments?authToken=$RAYGUN_AUTH_TOKEN"
read -d '' deployment <<- EOF
{
    apiKey: \"$RAYGUN_API_KEY\",
    version: \"$DEPLOYMENT_VERSION\",
    ownerName: \"$DEPLOYED_BY\",
    emailAddress: \"$EMAIL_ADDRESS\",
    scmIdentifier: \"$GIT_HASH\",
    comment: \"$DEPLOYMENT_NOTES\"
}
EOF
if ! curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "$deployment" -f $url
then
  echo "Could not send deployment details to Raygun"
  exit 1
fi

Note that this example uses the Raygun deployment commands and requires additional environment variables to be set in the section above. It also requires values to be passed to the script via the environment or via arguments when you call the script from your codeship-steps.yml file. We recommend visiting the Raygun documentation for more information.

You can also run API calls in the same way, simply running API calls rather than the deployment commands above.

Codeship Basic

You will need to add your Raygun API key and other required variables to your to your project’s environment variables.

You can do this by navigating to Project Settings and then clicking on the Environment tab.

Installing Raygun dependency

Raygun maintains a list of modules that can be installed as dependencies for a wide variety of languages and frameworks. You will want to visit their documentation and follow the instructions to use the dependency that is right for your application.

This dependency will need to be installed directly in your application’s dependencies, or separately via your setup commands.

Deploying and sending data

Once you have your API key and other required variables and dependencies installed, you will either run deployment commands or send data via API calls that you can make in your test or deployment commands:

while getopts "t:a:v:n:e:g:h" opt; do
    case $opt in
    t)
        RAYGUN_AUTH_TOKEN=$OPTARG
        ;;
    a)
        RAYGUN_API_KEY=$OPTARG
        ;;
    v)
        DEPLOYMENT_VERSION=$OPTARG
        ;;
    n)
        DEPLOYED_BY=$OPTARG
        ;;
    e)
        EMAIL_ADDRESS=$OPTARG
        ;;
    g)
        GIT_HASH=$OPTARG
        ;;
    h)
        HELP=1
        ;;
    esac
done
shift $((OPTIND-1))
if [ $HELP -eq 1 ]
then
cat << EOF
usage: deployment.sh [-h] -v VERSION -t TOKEN -a API_KEY
                      -e EMAIL -n NAME [-g GIT_HASH] NOTES
  h:          show this help
  v VERSION:  version string for this deployment
  t TOKEN:    your Raygun External Auth Token
  a API_KEY:  the API Key for your Raygun Application
  n NAME:     the name of the person who created the deployment
  e EMAIL:    the email address of the person who created the deployment.
              Should be a Raygun users email
  g GIT_HASH: the git commit hash this deployment was built from
  NOTES:      the release notes for this deployment.
              Will be formatted using a Markdown parser

exit
fi
[ "$1" = "--" ] &amp;&amp; shift
if [ "$1" != "" ]
then
    DEPLOYMENT_NOTES=$1
    DEPLOYMENT_NOTES=`echo $DEPLOYMENT_NOTES | sed s/\"/\\\\\\\\\"/g`
fi
url="https://app.raygun.com/deployments?authToken=$RAYGUN_AUTH_TOKEN"
read -d '' deployment <<- EOF
{
    apiKey: \"$RAYGUN_API_KEY\",
    version: \"$DEPLOYMENT_VERSION\",
    ownerName: \"$DEPLOYED_BY\",
    emailAddress: \"$EMAIL_ADDRESS\",

}
EOF
if ! curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "$deployment" -f $url
then
  echo "Could not send deployment details to Raygun"
  exit 1
fi
