Is it possible to have the release workflow appear as a deployment?

Open fregante opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

Sometimes deployments fail and nobody notices. There are 2 ways to make them more visible:

  • use GitHub deployments, somehow, they appear in their own section on GitHub
  • include a badge somewhere in the readme

It's possible and it looks great! https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/repos#create-a-deployment-status

But this might require a bit of code. I'm considering writing an action

The link above is no longer working. As it is already used on the master branch in github actions workflow, the workflow is now broken.

Ah sorry about that. It seemed to work after I made it private, but it guess it stopped. The action wasn’t working as well as intended and I had to rewrite it, but it’s still not done.

Could you send a PR to revert my last commit? I don’t have access to a computer right now

It looks like GitHub added native support for this via jobs.*.environment property. See:

  • https://github.com/refined-github/github-url-detection/deployments/activity_log?environment=github-pages
  • https://github.com/refined-github/github-url-detection/blob/b93c1f18d7307f72943a95094f4c12127f3ca8c3/.github/workflows/demo.yml#L33-L35

That key likely creates a deployment and keeps track of it as part of the job’s lifecycle.
