CircleCI Settings #102

andreazangheri · 2018-10-14T15:38:42Z

Hello everyone!
CircleCI support page in the wiki page is not updated (404).
So I'm giving a temporary explanation for those struggling with setting up circle ci projects.

go to circle ci api webpage and create a token
- https://circleci.com/gh/user/project/edit#api
  - replace "user" with your username
  - replace "project" with your project name
open ccmenu > prerences > projects tab > + (add a project)
In the Feed URL insert
- https://circleci.com/gh/user/project/tree/branch.cc.xml?circle-token=your_token
  - replace "user" with your username
  - replace "project" with your project name
  - replace "branch" with the branch you wish to monitor
    - example master.cc.xml
  - replace "your_token" with the previously generated token
  - check "use URL as entered above"

The final string should look similar to the following:
- https://circleci.com/gh/typerror/typerror.github.io/tree/master.cc.xml?circle-token=a7df8685g3dcf28dbc65c73d57f6a859344531

My Circle project stopped updating recently for me and a teammate. I tried replacing the token with a fresh one but no matter what it just says my project is sleeping. Not sure if Circle is in the middle of updating something (thus the 404) but I'm up to date with the description here and still not getting any status updates.

phoet · 2018-12-19T13:29:20Z

the circle support told me that those endpoints no longer exist:

Thanks for your patience. The polling-project-status is no longer supported. There are a few options to get these statuses:

https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/enable-checks/
https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/status-badges/

Do let us know if you have other questions or if there's anything else we can assist with!

i created a feature-request to get it back, feel free to vote: https://circleci.com/ideas/?idea=CCI-I-774

mszyndel · 2018-12-20T08:29:15Z

It is possible to still get the status but

It user personal access token now
Only responds in JSON

The endpoint is

https://circleci.com/api/v1.1/project/:vcs/:user/:project/tree/master?circle-token=api_key

where :vcs has to have a value of either github or bitbucket

erikdoe · 2018-12-20T08:53:16Z

Is the JSON response structured in the same way as the old XML-based format or do they use new field names and values, too? If you have access to a CircleCI build, I'd appreciate it if you could post a sample response here.

The response includes a number of previous builds for a branch (30?). Certain properties could be looked up from subsequent elements in the array of builds. The attributes needed for ccmenu could be

name: reponame?
activity: status
lastBuildStatus: previous.status or second build in the array status
lastBuildLabel: previous.build_num? second build in the array build_num or subject
lastBuildTime: second build in the array queued_at or start_time or stop_time
nextBuildTime: not available?
webUrl: build_url

@erikdoe is this going to be a christmas gift? 😸

kornysietsma · 2019-01-25T09:25:04Z

I'm confused - I have cirleCI working with the URL:
https://circleci.com/cc.xml?circle-token=my_api_token
and then I can select one of my watched projects to view. Is that sufficient for people's needs?

phoet · 2019-01-25T09:41:21Z

@kornysietsma true, that works with your personal api-token. i used to do that the same way.

johnnylai · 2019-02-27T06:28:53Z

@kornysietsma thx for the tip. It works for me. But this seems to only work with the default branch for a repo. It seems not able for user to select which branch they want to watch.

Still, thanks for the info.

erikdoe · 2019-04-25T20:05:06Z

We're in the process of migrating these wiki pages to a website on the cctray format: https://github.com/build-canaries/cctray

It would be fantastic if someone could write up the current approach to making CCMenu work with CircleCI and add this via a pull request over there.

sikachu · 2019-05-03T10:20:08Z

I'm glad I found this issue! I really didn't know that personal /cc.xml exists!

I opened build-canaries/cctray#10 which updates the documentation regarding how to setup CCMenu/CCTray to use this instead.

Thank you again for this amazing project!

ospfranco · 2019-07-23T07:43:29Z

Hey, I've been using:

https://circleci.com/cc.xml?circle-token=my_api_token

For quite some time, but it no longer is enough for my workflow, I need to monitor more than one branch in the project, is there any other possible way to make per branch configurations work?

https://circleci.com/gh/user/project/tree/branch.cc.xml?circle-token=your_token

hubertjakubiak · 2021-04-19T03:02:25Z

@ospfranco Any update in 2021 how to dynamically monitor my branches? Did you find another way to achieve that?
