require-google-cloud-build-config-file

Require a Google Cloud Build configuration file in repositories using the Google Cloud preset.

Targeted pattern scope​

  • Repositories that opt into the Google Cloud preset without committing cloudbuild.yaml, cloudbuild.yml, or cloudbuild.json.

What this rule reports​

This rule reports repositories using the Google Cloud preset when no Cloud Build config file is committed.

Why this rule exists​

A committed Cloud Build config keeps build and deploy behavior reviewable in the repository instead of scattering it across console-only settings.

❌ Incorrect​

// Repository enables Google Cloud policy but does not commit cloudbuild.yaml.
export default [];

✅ Correct​

# cloudbuild.yaml
timeout: 1200s
steps:
  - name: gcr.io/cloud-builders/npm
    args: ["test"]

When not to use it​

Disable this rule if the repository does not use Google Cloud Build.

Rule catalog ID: R066
