Await Statuses Action

Await statuses on a ref. Succeed only when all succeed. Fail when any fail.

Usage

Run this step until three statuses have succeeded on the current ref:

- uses: freckle/await-statuses-action@v1
  statuses: |
    test-this
    build-that
    other / thing (that)

Inputs and Outputs

  • ref: the reference (branch or SHA) to poll statuses on
  • statuses: status names to wait for, as a newline-separated string
  • poll-seconds: number of seconds between polls
  • poll-limit: maximum number of polls before giving up
  • github-token: token to use

See action.yml for a complete list of inputs and outputs.

Optional Statuses

Elements in the statuses list may optionally be suffixed by any number of spaces and a ?. This makes it acceptable if they never appear, but will still consider it a failure if they do appear as failed. This can be useful for matrix jobs whose statuses never appear in certain skipped scenarios, but we still want to account for them if they fail.

Changing our usage example to:

- uses: freckle/await-statuses-action@v1
  statuses: |
    test-this
    build-that
    other / thing (that) ?

This will result in us proceeding even if other / thing (that) never shows up, but if it ever shows up as failed, we will still fail immediately.

Caveats

This action works by querying the GitHub API for check-suites and their check-runs. Statuses set directly on commits, and which only appear in the /commits/status API, will not be visible to this action. That's simply because the check-suite statuses are all we need at the moment. Patches welcome.

Versioning

Versioned tags will exist, such as v1.0.0 and v2.1.1. Branches will exist for each major version, such as v1 or v2 and contain the newest version in that series.

Release Process

Given a latest version of v1.0.1,

Is this a new major version?

If yes,

git checkout main
git pull
git checkout -b v2
git tag -s -m v2.0.0 v2.0.0
git push --follow-tags

Otherwise,

git checkout main
git pull
git checkout v1
git merge --ff-only -
git tag -s -m v1.0.2 v1.0.2    # or v1.1.0
git push --follow-tags
