VM Setup - Set up secrets

Overview

Necessary secrets:

1. GITHUB_TOKEN

   • Used for:
     • Retrieving open PRs without rate-limiting.
     • Retrieving PR author.
     • Retrieving members of the angular-core team.
     • Posting comments with preview links on PRs.

2. PREVIEW_DEPLOYMENT_TOKEN

   • Used for:
     • Decoding the JWT tokens received with /create-build requests.

Note: TEST_GITHUB_TOKEN and TEST_PREVIEW_DEPLOYMENT_TOKEN can also be created similar to their non-TEST counterparts and they will be loaded when running aio-verify-setup, but it is currently not clear if/how they can be used in tests.

Create secrets

1. GITHUB_TOKEN

   • Visit https://github.com/settings/tokens.
   • Generate new token with the public_repo scope.

2. PREVIEW_DEPLOYMENT_TOKEN

   • Just generate a hard-to-guess character sequence.
   • Add it to .travis.yml under addons -> jwt -> secure. Can be added automatically with: travis encrypt --add addons.jwt PREVIEW_DEPLOYMENT_TOKEN=<access-key>

Note: Due to travis-ci/travis-ci#7223 it is not currently possible to use the JWT addon (as described above) for anything other than the SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY variable. You can get creative, though...

WARNING TO avoid arbitrary uploads, make sure the PREVIEW_DEPLOYMENT_TOKEN is NOT printed in the Travis log.

Save secrets on the VM

• sudo mkdir /aio-secrets
• sudo touch /aio-secrets/GITHUB_TOKEN
• Insert <github-token> into /aio-secrets/GITHUB_TOKEN.
• sudo touch /aio-secrets/PREVIEW_DEPLOYMENT_TOKEN
• Insert <access-token> into /aio-secrets/PREVIEW_DEPLOYMENT_TOKEN.
• sudo chmod 400 /aio-secrets/*
