Add NodeJS CI Workflow

[lelouchB]

Relies on #2 i.e. after Tests have been written.

Here is a possible

name: Node.js CI

on: [push]

jobs:
  build:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    strategy:
      matrix:
        node-version: [8.x, 10.x, 12.x]

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - name: Use Node.js ${{ matrix.node-version }}
      uses: actions/setup-node@v1
      with:
        node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}
    - run: npm install
    - run: npm run build --if-present
    - run: npm test
      env:
        CI: true

I've worked with github actions/workflows before. Can I take this one after the tests are written?

[lelouchB]

Ofcourse @trybick @JuanVqz is working on #2 In the meantime, I will assign this to you.

Thanks

[lelouchB]

@trybick Would you like to work on the tests in frontend i.e. docusarus while backend tests are being made?

In this Workflow, we will add both these tests.

[trybick]

I'm happy to do the workflow, but will pass on the tests, but thanks for the offer.

[lelouchB]

Hey @trybick
backend tests are in progress, in the mean time Can you start on the frontend CI workflow that tests if the frontend build command i.e. npm run build is successful or not.

Let me know if you have any questions.

[trybick]

Yes I can start on the workflow - I should be able to start it tonight or next night 👍

[lelouchB]

Great 👍 here is a resource on this https://v2.docusaurus.io/docs/deployment/#using-azure-pipelines https://v2.docusaurus.io/docs/deployment/#triggering-deployment-with-travis-ci

P.S. no deploy command needed, only build

Thanks :)

[trybick]

@lelouchB I am confused about those two links - the original issue at the top has an example of a github workflow to run the tests, right? I thought that would do it

[lelouchB]

Yes, the issue is for tests but there are no tests for frontend so currently a workflow to check build will be really helpful. because of the issues related to frontend.

After the backend tests are done, workflow will be updated to accomodate them

Does this make sense? Let me know if you have any other questions

[trybick]

Still a little confused - We want a workflow to run the tests but those are on hold until backend tests are done. In the mean time we want to a workflow to run the build command? Does it need to deploy anywhere - or just check that build is successful?

Yes that's correct.

I am fine with build only but if you want you can add deploy command too. It can be helpful to see actual changes. What do you think?

[trybick]

Ok, just to confirm, the build workflow would just confirm the build is successful and then exit right? If we wanted to deploy too I think that would involve a lot more

Yes, it will tell if the build is successful and then exit. yep, the deployment preview will involve a lot more so we can take it step by step. build is a priority right now so we should proceed with it first.

Thanks

[trybick]

Ok, thanks for clarifying!

[lelouchB]

Hey @trybick Lint script has been added to backend, do you think you an add it to workflow?

Thanks

[trybick]

Hey @lelouchB sure! Would that be a new workflow to just run the lint command in the backend?

I also was thinking, would you want a pre-commit hook added? - so every time someone commits it lints and prettifies the code - an option if you want to consider :)

Yes yes that pre commit hook would be amazing too.
