The httprequest plugin in Drone facilitates the automation of HTTP requests during CI/CD pipelines. It allows the user to send HTTP/HTTPS requests to specified endpoints and perform actions based on the response, similar to the Jenkins HTTP Request Plugin. Users can set headers, authenticate requests, define expected response codes, and configure timeouts.

Building

Build the plugin binary:

scripts/build.sh

Build the plugin image:

docker build -t local/httprequest -f docker/Dockerfile .

Testing

Execute the plugin from your current working directory:

docker run --rm \
-e PLUGIN_URL='https://httpbin.org/get' \
-e PLUGIN_HTTP_METHOD='GET' \
-e PLUGIN_HEADERS='Content-Type:application/json' \
-e PLUGIN_TIMEOUT='30' \
  -w /drone/src  -v $(pwd):/drone/src local/httprequest


GET request with response logged in to a file
docker run --rm \
-e PLUGIN_URL='https://httpbin.org/get' \
-e PLUGIN_HTTP_METHOD='GET' \
-e PLUGIN_HEADERS='Content-Type:application/json' \
