Automated deployment for reviews
The project level test and deploy code features will be deprecated in a later Swarm release. We recommend you use test integration to automatically deploy code within a review. For more information, see Add a test.
Deploying code in a code review automatically involves enabling Automated Deployment in your project's configuration and providing a trigger URL. When the trigger URL is requested, Swarm expects a deployment program to be executed.
When the deployment processing ends, Swarm expects either a success callback URL or failure callback URL to be requested by your deployment program. These callback URLs should include a url parameter (either via GET or POST); when a valid-looking URL is included, clicking the deployment status indicator directs the user to the specified URL. This is intended to facilitate easy viewing of the successfully deployed review, or a report indicating why the deployment failed. The url parameter is mandatory for successful deployments, but is optional for failures.
