Description of GitHub Actions in this repository
Stale (stale.yml)
This workflow will label and eventually close issues and pull requests based on the configuration in this file.
Go Generate (git-actions-go-generate.yml)
In RKE, go generate is used to:
- Generate deepcopy functions
- Download the latest published
data.jsonfrom rancher/kontainer-driver-metadata (seecodegen/codegen.go) - Converts the downloaded
data.jsonin to Go source code using go-bindata
See the comments on top of main.go to see what is being executed when you run go generate.
This was done manually every time a PR was merged in rancher/kontainer-driver-metadata, and it was also usually executed on the machine of the user. The first step to tackle this was to create a make target for go generate, called go-generate, so everyone can use make go-generate to consistently run the command with the same environment.
Second improvement was to wrap this make go-generate into a GitHub Actions workflow (this one), so it can be;
- Triggered via the UI (no more local machine needed)
- Automatically triggered via API
In rancher/kontainer-driver-metadata, we added a dispatch step in .drone.yml, which will execute this GitHub Actions workflow after a PR is merged. The user that merged the PR will also be mentioned and assigned in the PR that will be created when this workflow has finished.
Update README (update-readme.yml)
This workflow will update the README with latest versions retrieved from tags in the GitHub repository. It uses the file README-template.md as source, and will add the latest versions into this file to end up with the actual README.md file.
