chore: automate compat-data update

[tony-go]

💻

• Would you like to work on this feature?

What problem are you trying to solve?

Each time upstream compat-data have been updated, maintainers have to manually open a pull request.

Describe the solution you'd like

Use the same approach as https://github.com/babel/babel/blob/main/.github/workflows/update-parser-tests.yml

Having a CRON in GitHub action that will check if there are any updates on the following sources:

• https://github.com/kangax
• "@mdn/browser-compat-data": "^4.0.10",
• "core-js-compat": "^3.20.2",
• "electron-to-chromium": "^1.3.893"

Then, run existing scripts in the repo like make build-compat-data

Open a pull request!

Thanks @JLHwung, for the idea 🙌

Describe alternatives you've considered

Didn't imagine any alternative here 💩.

Hey @tony-go! We really appreciate you taking the time to report an issue. The collaborators on this project attempt to help as many people as possible, but we're a limited number of volunteers, so it's possible this won't be addressed swiftly.

If you need any help, or just have general Babel or JavaScript questions, we have a vibrant Slack community that typically always has someone willing to help. You can sign-up here for an invite.

Oh this would be awesome!

[tony-go]

Sorry for the wait.

I just struggle with a simple thing: get the last commit for the gh-pages branch the github API give me on older one :s 😭

I'll continue my journey and keep you informed.

You can checkout the latest compat-data somewhere, retrieve the HEAD commit SHA1 and inject it to the download-compat-data.sh, similar to how we handle test262:

babel/.github/workflows/update-parser-tests.yml

Lines 33 to 38 in b05dad7

	- name: Get latest test262 version
	id: test262
	run: echo "::set-output name=sha1::$(sh ./scripts/parser-tests/get-test262-version.sh)"
	- name: Update test262 commit
	run: |
	echo ${{ steps.test262.outputs.sha1 }} | ./scripts/parser-tests/bump-test262-version.sh

Hey there !

Just to say that I accomplish a few things on my side, but nothing to share atm ^^
