This repository contains a gcloud pipeline step that you can use to load service account credentials in a temporary environment for your build jobs. Instead of configuring gcloud on each agent, it effectively lets you load service account credentials from Jenkins and use those for invocations of gcloud and other commands.

You can use this step like so:

library "gcloud-pipeline-library"

node {
  gcloud(serviceAccountCredential: 'my-credential-name') {
    sh 'gcloud ...'
  }
}

or alternatively:

library "gcloud-pipeline-library"

node {
  gcloud(serviceAccountPath: 'path/to/service/account.json') {
    sh 'gcloud ...'
  }
}

If using the first form (serviceAccountCredential), the credential should be of the type Secret file, where the file is a JSON service account key obtained from the Google Cloud console.

You need to add this library to your Jenkins instance to use it.

On this page, locate the current commit hash of the project. It is recommended that you use a commit hash instead of master, as this library is updated to support the latest gcloud commands (which can change in breaking ways when new SDK versions are released). The commit hash is located here:

WARNING: If you use master, your builds might stop working when new updates are made to this library, and you might need to update the Google Cloud SDK installed on your build agents. In addition, updates to this library will cause all builds using this library to kick off, because Jenkins polls for changes to pipeline libraries and starts builds if they've changed. You probably don't want updates to this library kicking off builds on the weekend, so please, locate and use a commit hash as outlined above.

Under Manage Jenkins -> Configure System, scroll down until you find the Global Pipeline Libraries section, then add this repository like so:
