Drone

By default, drone does not fetch tags. plugins/git is used with default values, in most cases we'll need overwrite the clone step enabling tags, so goreleaser work correctly.

In this example we're creating a new release every time a new tag is pushed. Note that you'll need to enable tags in repo settings and add github_token secret.

# .drone.yml

kind: pipeline
name: default

steps:
  - name: fetch
    image: docker:git
    commands:
      - git fetch --tags

  - name: test
    image: golang
    commands:
      - go test -race -v ./... -cover

  - name: release
    image: goreleaser/goreleaser
    environment:
      GITHUB_TOKEN:
        from_secret: github_token
    commands:
      - goreleaser release
    when:
      event: tag

In case you need to build docker image, use Docker-In-Docker (DIND)

---
kind: pipeline
name: default
trigger:
  ref:
    - refs/tags/*

services:
  - name: docker
    image: docker:dind
    privileged: true
    volumes:
      - name: dockersock
        path: /var/run

steps:
  - name: fetch
    image: docker:git
    commands:
      - git fetch --tags

  - name: test
    image: golang
    commands:
      - go test -race -v ./... -cover

  - name: release
    image: goreleaser/goreleaser
    environment:
      GITHUB_TOKEN:
        from_secret: github_token
    volumes:
      - name: dockersock
        path: /var/run
    commands:
      - goreleaser release
    when:
      event: tag

volumes:
  - name: dockersock
    temp: {}

Note: to use DIND you have to set repo as 'trusted'. To mark repository as trusted:

  1. contact your Drone's admin
  2. or set your user as administrator and then enable 'trusted' switch in repository settings UI
