Using Curl in a Go Job

[Ashwin Mathews]

Hi,

I am trying to setup my pipeline to build my code and deploy it to a linux shared server. For this, I am trying to leverage Curl which would allow me to FTP over SSL. I have set CURL as an evironmental varriable at the Pipeline level but still it is not able to find the 'curl' command

Help!

Below is the error I am getting..

[go] setting environment variable 'CURL' to value 'C:\Program Files\cURL\bin'
'curl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

The command:

curl -T "d:\test.txt" ftp://user:password@url -k --ftp-ssl

Hi,

There could be a couple of causes for the error.

First access environment variables, would you not need to use %CURL% ... ?

Second. The path C:\Program Files\cURL\bin\curl.exe could also cause issues specifically the space between Program and Files give '"C:\Program Files\cURL\bin"' a shot

Hope that helps.

That doesn't seem to be working either, see below,

[go] overriding environment variable 'JAVA_HOME' with value 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_51'
[go] setting environment variable 'CURL' to value '"C:\Program Files\cURL\bin"'
'curl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

The thing is, I am setting JAVA_HOME again and it says it is overriding my environment variable. That seems to be fine with the space though.

I don't think making curl an environment variable will add it to your executable path where Go (or any other program) would find it. If curl is a command you'd like to be able to use from anywhere on that machine I'd add it to the machine path outside of Go.

Ken,

I was part of your demo on CD last Thursday and got all my attention into Go..Thanks for that! :)

The curl command does work when I run the command on cmd (outside of Go) as I have already set it as my system variable. The only problem comes when I run the command in Go.

Very glad it was useful :)

A couple things to try..

- Make sure it's the system path you updated and not your personal path

- If you added it after the Go agent was started you may need stop stop and start the agent to pick up the new path.

Hope that helps!

I set a pipeline level environment variable called CURL to the value of the full path to the curl.exe file (including the file name itself) in double quotes, and then ran the command %CURL%.

[go] Start to execute task: <exec command="%CURL%" >
<arg>--help</arg>
</exec>. 
[go] setting environment variable 'GO_SERVER_URL' to value 'https://127.0.0.1:8154/go/'
[go] setting environment variable 'GO_TRIGGER_USER' to value 'anonymous'
[go] setting environment variable 'GO_PIPELINE_NAME' to value 'Trial'
[go] setting environment variable 'GO_PIPELINE_COUNTER' to value '2'
[go] setting environment variable 'GO_PIPELINE_LABEL' to value '2'
[go] setting environment variable 'GO_STAGE_NAME' to value 'defaultStage'
[go] setting environment variable 'GO_STAGE_COUNTER' to value '1'
[go] setting environment variable 'GO_JOB_NAME' to value 'defaultJob'
[go] setting environment variable 'GO_REVISION' to value 'd0b585f0c13b1289fe749d9f7c8f0776f4bead11'
[go] setting environment variable 'GO_TO_REVISION' to value 'd0b585f0c13b1289fe749d9f7c8f0776f4bead11'
[go] setting environment variable 'GO_FROM_REVISION' to value 'd0b585f0c13b1289fe749d9f7c8f0776f4bead11'
[go] setting environment variable 'CURL' to value '"D:\Some Tools\curl\bin\curl.exe"'
Usage: curl [options...] <url>
Options: (H) means HTTP/HTTPS only, (F) means FTP only
     --anyauth       Pick "any" authentication method (H)

In case you want to set CURL to be the PATH to curl, then here's what you would have:

an environment variable called CURL pointing to (in my case) : "D:\Some Tools\curl\bin\"

and then use the above as

%CURL%\curl.exe --help

Thanks Sriram for your time! Giving it a shot..

[Ashwin Mathews]

Thanks Sriram!! That's a good workaround..seems to be working as expected..

Thanks guys for your time! Really appreciate the support..

[Sriram Narayanan]

Glad to be of help.

What did you finally choose to do ? Set CURL to point to curl.exe, or use %CURL%\curl.exe?

I set my Pipeline env variable as below,

CURL -> "C:\Program Files\cURL\bin"

and my Job command says,

%CURL%\curl.exe -T "d:\test.txt" ftp://user:password@url -k --ftp-ssl
