About Snyk
Snyk is an automated way to check for security vulnerabilities with your dependencies.
By using Snyk you can be sure that your dependencies are up to date and secure.
Starting with Snyk and CodeShip is fast and easy. The Snyk documentation does a great job of providing more information, in addition to the setup instructions below.
CloudBees CodeShip Pro
Adding Token
To start, you need to add your SNYK_TOKEN
to the
encrypted environment variables that you encrypt and include in your
codeship-services.yml file.
CLI Configuration
To use Snyk in your CI/CD process, you’ll need to add the Snyk CLI to a service in your codeship-services.yml file.
To add the Snyk CLI, you will need to add the following command to the Dockerfile for the service you want to run Snyk on:
RUN npm install -g snyk
Note that this requires the Dockerfile to also have Node and NPM available, to use the Snyk CLI.
Running A Scan
Once your Snyk token is loaded via your environment variables and you have defined a service that installs the Snyk CLI, you can run a Snyk scan during your CI/CD pipeline by passing the Snyk CLI commands via the service you have it installed in.
We will combine the Snyk authentication and Snyk scan commands into a script file that we call from a step:
- name: Snyk service: app command: snyk.sh
Inside this snyk.sh
script, you will have something similar to:
snyk auth $SNYK_TOKEN snyk test
