Build Packages¤
Python Plugin
This operator is part of a Python Plugin Package. In order to use it, you need to install it, e.g. with cmemc.
Builds package archives from a CPA manifest.
The manifest lists what belongs in the package. Graphs are exported from the store, projects from the workspace, and text and image files from the file resources of the project this task runs in. All of it is collected into a single archive, named after the package ID and version taken from the manifest.
Manifests arrive on the input port, which is replaced by a parameter when the manifest is configured on the task itself. Each manifest produces one archive.
The archives leave on the output port as *.cpa files, ready for the Publish
Packages task to upload them to a marketplace service, or for the Install
Packages task to install them on this instance. A release workflow typically chains
Bump Version in Package Manifest, this task, and then Publish Packages.
The manifest is trusted to describe content which is really there. A graph, project or file it lists but which is missing from this instance makes the task fail while that content is being exported. Text and image files are read from the project the task runs in, so a manifest cannot pull auxiliary files out of a different project.
