Guidewire CI Integration

Overview

Configure continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines for Guidewire InsuranceSuite projects using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps.

Prerequisites

  • Git repository with Guidewire project
  • CI/CD platform access (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps)
  • Guidewire Cloud Console access for deployment credentials
  • JDK 17 and Gradle available in CI environment

                recipientProviders: [developers()]
            )
        }
    }
}

Step 3: Gradle Build Configuration

// build.gradle - CI-optimized configuration
plugins {
    id 'com.guidewire.gradle' version '10.12.0'
    id 'org.owasp.dependencycheck' version '9.0.0'
    id 'com.github.spotbugs' version '6.0.0'
    id 'jacoco'
}

java {
    toolchain {
        languageVersion = JavaLanguageVersion.of(17)
    }
}

// Gosu compilation checks
tasks.named('gosucheck') {
    reports {
        xml.required = true
        html.required = true
    }
}

// Test configuration
test {
    useJUnitPlatform()
    maxParallelForks = Runtime.runtime.availableProcessors().intdiv(2) ?: 1

    testLogging {
        events 'passed', 'skipped', 'failed'
        showStandardStreams = false
        exceptionFormat = 'full'
    }

    finalizedBy jacocoTestReport
}

// Integration tests
tasks.register('integrationTest', Test) {
    description = 'Runs integration tests'
    group = 'verification'

    testClassesDirs = sourceSets.integrationTest.output.classesDirs
    classpath = sourceSets.integrationTest.runtimeClasspath

    shouldRunAfter test
}

// Code coverage
jacocoTestReport {
    dependsOn test
    reports {
        xml.required = true
        html.required = true
    }
}

jacocoTestCoverageVerification {
    violationRules {
        rule {
            limit {
                minimum = 0.7 // 70% coverage minimum
            }
        }
    }
}

// Security scanning
dependencyCheck {
    formats = ['HTML', 'XML', 'JSON']
    failBuildOnCVSS = 7.0
    suppressionFile = 'config/dependency-check-suppressions.xml'
}

// SpotBugs configuration
spotbugs {
    effort = 'max'
    reportLevel = 'medium'
    excludeFilter = file('config/spotbugs-exclude.xml')
}

// CI-specific tasks
tasks.register('ci') {
    description = 'Runs all CI checks'
    group = 'verification'
    dependsOn 'build', 'gosucheck', 'test', 'integrationTest',
              'jacocoTestCoverageVerification', 'dependencyCheckAnalyze'
}

Step 4: Test Utilities

// Test utilities for CI
package gw.test.ci

uses gw.testharness.v3.PLTestCase
uses gw.api.database.Query

class CITestBase extends PLTestCase {

  // Skip slow tests in CI
  static property get SkipSlowTests() : boolean {
    return System.getenv("CI") == "true" &&
           System.getenv("RUN_SLOW_TESTS") != "true"
  }

  // Database health check
  static function verifyDatabaseConnection() : boolean {
    try {
      var count = Query.make(Account).select().Count
      return true
    } catch (e : Exception) {
      return false
    }
  }

  // Clean test data
  override function beforeClass() {
    super.beforeClass()
    cleanupTestData()
  }

  protected function cleanupTestData() {
    // Remove test accounts created by previous runs
    Query.make(Account)
      .compare(Account#AccountNumber, StartsWith, "TEST-")
      .select()
      .each(\account -> {
        gw.transaction.Transaction.runWithNewBundle(\bundle -> {
          bundle.delete(bundle.add(account))
        })
      })
  }
}

Step 5: Deployment Script

#!/bin/bash
# scripts/deploy-to-cloud.sh

set -e

ENV=${1:-sandbox}

echo "=== Deploying to Guidewire Cloud ($ENV) ==="

# Validate environment
if [[ "$ENV" != "sandbox" && "$ENV" != "production" ]]; then
    echo "Invalid environment: $ENV"
    exit 1
fi

# Get access token
TOKEN=$(curl -s -X POST "${GW_HUB_URL}/oauth/token" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
    -d "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=${GW_CLIENT_ID}&client_secret=${GW_CLIENT_SECRET}" \
    | jq -r '.access_token')

if [ -z "$TOKEN" ] || [ "$TOKEN" == "null" ]; then
    echo "Failed to obtain access token"
    exit 1
fi

# Deploy configuration package
echo "Deploying configuration package..."
DEPLOYMENT_RESPONSE=$(curl -s -X POST "${GW_API_URL}/deployment/v1/packages" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/zip" \
    --data-binary @build/libs/configuration-package.zip)

DEPLOYMENT_ID=$(echo $DEPLOYMENT_RESPONSE | jq -r '.deploymentId')
echo "Deployment ID: $DEPLOYMENT_ID"

# Wait for deployment to complete
echo "Waiting for deployment to complete..."
while true; do
    STATUS=$(curl -s "${GW_API_URL}/deployment/v1/packages/${DEPLOYMENT_ID}" \
        -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" \
        | jq -r '.status')

    echo "Status: $STATUS"

    if [ "$STATUS" == "COMPLETED" ]; then
        echo "Deployment completed successfully"
        break
    elif [ "$STATUS" == "FAILED" ]; then
        echo "Deployment failed"
        exit 1
    fi

    sleep 30
done

echo "=== Deployment Complete ==="

Output

  • GitHub Actions workflow file
  • Jenkins pipeline configuration
  • Gradle build with CI tasks
  • Test utilities for CI environment
  • Cloud deployment script
