Plugins Training Workshop
summary
Overview of the Spinnaker plugin framework v2, using pf4j stage plugin and the plugins SDK to build a random-weight stage that waits a configurable random number of seconds, calls Echo via an internal HTTP client, and writes results to pipeline context. Development uses Gradle releaseBundle, IntelliJ debugging (breakpoints hit in Orca after a Telepresence swap), Deck/Gate port‑forwards, and GitHub Actions for plugin repo metadata. Compatibility testing and automated update discovery remain work in progress; the end‑to‑end demo successfully debugs Deck→Orca→Echo but returns an empty subscription list.
