wev-awscodeartifact:
A wev plugin to support Amazon Web Services CodeArtifact authorisation on the command line

• ⚙️ Plugin for wev (with environment variables).
• 📋 Requests and caches CodeArtifact authorisation tokens.
• 👩🏼‍💻 Great for freelancers working with multiple clients hosting CodeArtifact repositories.

🔥 The Problem

Say your Pipfile is configured to pull packages from a private Amazon Web Services CodeArtifact repository:

[[source]]
name = "private"
url = "https://aws:$CODEARTIFACT_AUTH_TOKEN@corp-012345678901.d.codeartifact.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/pypi/pypi-mirror/simple/"
verify_ssl = true

[packages]
tupper = "*"

[requires]
python = "3.9"

Your Pipfile expects the CODEARTIFACT_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable to be set to your authorisation token.

wev-awscodeartifact extends wev to handle your CodeArtifact authorisation token for you.

🎁 Installation

wev-awscodeartifact requires Python 3.8 or later and wev.

wev and wev plugins are usually happy to run within virtual environments, but that's tricky if your project's Pipfile has only private sources that require a token. wev-awscodeartifact cannot generate a token before it's installed.

I recommend installing wev and wev-awscodeartifact globally, outside of your virtual environment.

python -m pip install wev
python -m pip install wev-awscodeartifact

⚙️ Configuration

Filename and location

See wevcli.app/configuration for a detailed guide to wev configuration files.

If in doubt, create your configuration file as wev.yml in your project directory.

Properties

Property	Required	Description	Default
account		AWS account ID	Your profile's account
domain	✔️	CodeArtifact domain name1
profile		AWS named profile to use for authentication	Your default profile
region		AWS region hosting the CodeArtifact domain	Your profile's region

¹ The CodeArtifact domain is not the same as the repository's domain name. Given the domain name corp-000000000000.d.codeartifact.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com, the CodeArtifact domain is corp.

Examples

Minimal configuration

CODEARTIFACT_AUTH_TOKEN:
  plugin:
    id: wev-awscodeartifact
    domain: corp

Team + personal configuration

You probably don't want to add the profile property to .wev.yml if you plan to commit and share it with your team mates. Profile names are personal, and you don't want to force everyone to use the same as you.

If you do need to set profile, I suggest you create it in .wev.user.yml (which should not be shared) and let wev merge it in.

For example:

# .wev.yml
CODEARTIFACT_AUTH_TOKEN:
  plugin:
    id: wev-awscodeartifact
    account: "012345678901"
    domain: corp
    region: eu-west-1

# .wev.user.yml
CODEARTIFACT_AUTH_TOKEN:
  plugin:
    profile: work

💻 Usage

Run wev with any command that requires a CodeArtifact authorisation token.

For example, to run pipenv install with a CodeArtifact authorisation token:

wev pipenv install

• Amazon Web Services CodeArtifact authorisation token on wevcli.app.

🙋‍♀️ FAQs

Can I change the environment variable from CODEARTIFACT_AUTH_TOKEN?

Yes! Call it anything you like.

Does wev-awscodeartifact work with other package managers?

Yes! wev-awscodeartifact will work with any command line tool that needs CodeArtifact authorisation tokens in environment variables.
