## How to merge a Dependabot PR
|
|
|
|
The "distribution" for a GitHub Action is checked into the repository itself.
|
|
In the case of these actions, the transpiled sources are committed to the `dist` directory.
|
|
Any production dependencies are inlined into the distribution.
|
|
So if a Dependabot PR updates a production dependency (or a dev dependency that changes the distribution, like the Typescript compiler),
|
|
then a manual step is required to rebuild the dist and commit.
|
|
|
|
The simplest process to follow is:
|
|
1. Checkout the dependabot branch locally eg: `git checkout dependabot/npm_and_yarn/actions/github-5.1.0`
|
|
2. In the `sources` directory, run `npm install` to download NPM dependencies
|
|
3. In the `sources` directory, run `npm run build` to regenerate the distribution
|
|
4. Push the changes to the dependabot branch
|
|
5. If/when the checks pass, you can merge the dependabot PR

## Using `act` to run integ-test workflows locally
|
|
|
|
It's possible to run GitHub Actions workflows locally with https://nektosact.com/.
|
|
Many of the test workflows from this repository can be run in this way, making it easier to
|
|
test local changes without pushing to a branch.
|
|
|
|
This feature is most useful to run a single `integ-test-*` workflow. Avoid running `ci-quick-test` or other aggregating workflows unless you want to use your local machine as a heater!
|
|
|
|
Example running a single workflow:
|
|
`act -W .github/workflows/integ-test-caching-config.yml`
|
|
|
|
Example running a single job:
|
|
`act -W .github/workflows/integ-test-caching-config.yml -j cache-disabled-pre-existing-gradle-home`
|
|
|
|
Known issues:
|
|
- `integ-test-cache-cleanup.yml` fails because `gradle` is not installed on the runner. Should be fixed by #33.
|
|
- `integ-test-detect-java-toolchains.yml` fails when running on a `linux/amd64` container, since the expected pre-installed JDKs are not present. Should be fixed by #89.
|
|
- `act` is not yet compatible with `actions/upload-artifact@v4` (or related toolkit functions)
|
|
- See https://github.com/nektos/act/pull/2224
|
|
- Workflows run by `act` cannot submit to the dependency-submission API, as no `GITHUB_TOKEN` is available by default.
|
|
|
|
Tips:
|
|
- Add the following lines to `~/.actrc`:
|
|
- `--container-daemon-socket -` : Prevents "error while creating mount source path", and yes that's a solitary dash at the end
|
|
- `--matrix os:ubuntu-latest` : Avoids a lot of logging about unsupported runners being skipped
|
|
- Runners don't have `java` installed by default, so all workflows that run Gradle require a `setup-java` step. |
