post build hook for running black box tests

[rafecolton]

maybe with bats, since it's pretty universal

[colegleason]

@rafecolton Could this post build hook also be used for running arbitrary scripts after a successful job (build/tag/push)?

[rafecolton]

@colegleason that's the general idea; however, there are some serious security implications of this feature, depending on the implementation. I'm also not 100% sure it's within the scope of this project.

I'd love to hear any thoughts you may have (on either the implementation or the scope).

[colegleason]

Yeah, after thinking about it for a bit I think I will just use docker-builder as a step in a larger CI build. To do that I will need an interface to check on the status of an async build or otherwise block until a build succeeds.

[rafecolton]

Yeah, running the job synchronously will be a simple thing to add (and already on the TODO list).

Checking the status of the build over HTTP will eventually be added as a feature as well, though that is slightly further down on the list

[rafecolton]

Maybe a good way to handle this without trying to shove too much functionality into docker-builder is to use outgoing webhooks like Travis/GitHub...

[colegleason]

I think that would be a good feature, but I also like the idea of blocking until a build completes as it makes it easier to add into scripts and workflows without adding an HTTP server into the mix to listen for the webhooks.
