Bonitasoft GitHub Actions

Centralized repository providing GitHub Actions developed by Bonitasoft and used in our CI/CD pipelines.

List of actions

• list-branches: list and return branches in JSON filtered by input regex.
• pr-antora-content-guidelines-checker: to check contributions done to the AsciiDoc content of a repository used to produced documentation generated with Antora. Check the diff of a Pull Request, and fail if one or more of the set criteria isn't met.
• pr-title-conventional-commits: check that the Pull Request title follows guidelines of Conventional Commits v1.0.0.
• surge-preview-tools: companion of the surge-preview action.

How-to use

Each action describes how to use it by documenting its inputs and outputs.

Here is a general rule:

• Use the hash of a commit or a tag to declare the version of the action you want to use.
• Do not use the main branch, which can be unstable.

For example, here is how to use the surge-preview-tools with a specific version (replace TAGNAME by the actual tag value):

 steps:
   - name: Send message to Slack channel
     uses: bonitasoft/actions/packages/surge-preview-tools@TAGNAME
     # the rest of the configuration goes here

Available tags

This repository follow Semantic Versioning and tags follow the vX.Y.Z patterns. In addition, the repository also provides tags for major and minor versions.

For example

• when releasing version 1.1.1, the following tags are available: v1.1.1, v1.1 and v1
• then when releasing version 1.1.2, a new v1.1.2 tag is created. The v1.1 and v1 tags are updated to reference the tag of the newly released version.

The list of tags is available in the repository at GitHub.

Release process

Go to GitHub release

Then

• create a new draft release
• for tag, use vx.y.z (do not forget the 'v' prefix)
• for name, same value as tag without the 'v'
• use the auto-generated release notes (do some cleanup if necessary). Don't use previous tag: auto, select the tag of the previous release! auto selects the major version tag (v1, v2, ...) that changes each time a new release is published
• add a short description about the release content (highlight some features, warn about breaking changes, ...)
• publish to create the git tag and make the release publicly available. Major (v1, v2) and minor (v1.1, v1.2) tags will be automatically created
