George Kalpakas d72ae7b71e ci: compute commit range for rerun workflows (#27775)
On push builds, CircleCI provides `CIRCLE_COMPARE_URL`, which we use to
extract the commit range for a given build. When a workflow is rerun
(e.g. to recover from a flaked job), `CIRCLE_COMPARE_URL` is not
defined, causing some jobs to fail.

This commit fixes it by retrieving the compare URL from the original
workflow. It uses a slow process involving a (potentially large) number
of requests to CircleCI API.
It depends on the (undocumented) fact, that the `workspace_id` is the
same on all rerun workflows and the same as the original `workflow_id`.

Encryption

Based on https://github.com/circleci/encrypted-files

In the CircleCI web UI, we have a secret variable called KEY https://circleci.com/gh/angular/angular/edit#env-vars which is only exposed to non-fork builds (see "Pass secrets to builds from forked pull requests" under https://circleci.com/gh/angular/angular/edit#advanced-settings)

We use this as a symmetric AES encryption key to encrypt tokens like a GitHub token that enables publishing snapshots.

To create the github_token file, we take this approach:

  • Find the angular-builds:token in http://valentine
  • Go inside the CircleCI default docker image so you use the same version of openssl as we will at runtime: docker run --rm -it circleci/node:10.12
  • echo "https://[token]:@github.com" > credentials
  • openssl aes-256-cbc -e -in credentials -out .circleci/github_token -k $KEY
  • If needed, base64-encode the result so you can copy-paste it out of docker: base64 github_token
