• Shared:
  • Verify All Release ENVs are set
  • Login to AWS (use ENVS and see fi we can get a token for 2Factor).
  • Login to NPM (use ENVs to align with semantic release auth needs for releasing)
  • Get Release Version ()
  • Get last Github commit after all builds have passed and binaries have been built. ()
• Part 1 - pre-release binary distrubtion
  • Run prepare-release-artifacts —sha <git_sha> —version <version>
  • Publish Cypress CLI under dev tag: npm publish /tmp/cypress-prod.tgz --tag dev
  • Script npm info cypress to ensure dev version === <version>
• Part 2 - downstream repo PRs
  • Run “Create Changelog PR” script (#25158)
  • Run “Create Docker Image PR” Script (#25157)
• Script pauses for input for 45 minutes: Manual - SMOKE TEST <-- Circle CI has a option to wait for approval so we should write as multiple parts for the release.
• Part 3 - release as latest distribution
  • Run npm dist-tag add cypress@<version>
  • Run yarn binary-release --version <version>
  • Create Github Release
  • Run [cypress-io/release-automations][https://github.com/cypress-io/release-automations] cd packages/issues-in-release && npm run do:comment -- --release <version>
  • Log to remind to merge Changelog & Docker Image PRs

Update release process to use this script in place of manual release steps.

@chrisbreiding I have written a pre-release npm distribution for the binary. All that is left is a little bit of testing to ensure the token permissions are valid for authentication with NPM to publish the tar.
