How to deploy to Review Apps using a random app name?

Open StanleySathler opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Thanks for the great job, guys! :star2:

Is there any way to configure it so deploys are made to Review Apps in a Pipeline? I need to deploy my PRs to isolate Review Apps so they have a unique URL.

I've been trying to figure this out as well with no luck.

@picklewagon mostly sure that's not possible with this action.

This is how I did this:

  1. Compress the file (.tgz) and send it to a bucket (I'm using Google Cloud Storage). You can find actions to zip and send files to a cloud bucket. Then you need to generate a signed download link. This is needed 'cause the Heroku API requires a link to download the files - it doesn't fetch your repository.
  2. Create a Review App using Heroku API. For some reason Heroku CLI doesn't have such an option, so you really need to use their API (which is poorly documented, by the way).
