FAForever
Add a game version check to the deployment workflow for the FAF game type
Description
When we deploy to the main release branch deploy/faf it is important that the game version matches the version of the latest release in the repository. This value is defined at three different places:
- (1) modinfo.lua
This is where the server reads the game version from. If it is not updated then the server process will early exit and the deployment fails.
- (2) version.lua
This is where the game reads the game version from.
This is where the changelog reads the game version from. This particular file should probably be refactored at some point to use the value in version.lua. Today is not that day however, so we still need to update it.
Course of Action
Preferably all the instructions are compatible with a Bash script. This is useful for the test plan. The course of action consists of several phases:
- (1) Bash instructions to retrieve the game version from
mod_info.lua - (2) Bash instructions to retrieve the game version from
version.lua - (3) Bash instructions to retrieve the game version from
changelogData.lua - (4) Bash instructions to retrieve the game version from the last release on Github
Compare the game versions. They should all match.
Test Plan
You should be able to run the bash instructions locally. Otherwise you can always try and use act.
