chore(github-workflow): run the tests only when the tests belong to t…

…he changed folder

[hairmare]

the chart tests also build and install the container images so these tests could in theory also fail if we change things in other paths

as such they currently seem to serve as simple full stack smoketests, maybe we want to consider keeping them on all changes for that purpose?

i remove the condition from the charts workflow, but why i see that the tests are still Waiting for status to be reported

[MitanOmar]

@hairmare do you know why there is three frontend tests are there even if we define the job to be executed only if there is a change in the frontend folder ?

[c0rydoras]

our rules still need them to succeed

i will keep this PR open, since there are other tasks more important than this, we can come to it later

# without paths
...
jobs:
  dirty:
     outputs:
       dirty: ${{ steps.check-dirty.outputs.dirty }}
     steps:
      - id: dirty
        run: |
          # bash script to determine if dirty, then write to output

  lint:
      needs: dirty
      steps:
       - name: foo
         if: ${{ needs.dirty.outputs.dirty }}
         run: |
           ls -a

something like this would probably work, but is very ugly

[MitanOmar]

i totally agree that it's ugly

I'm not sure if it works, but could you try the inverse of paths.

• For the backend workflow:

  pull_request:
    paths-ignore:
      - 'frontend/**'

• For the frontend workflow:

  pull_request:
    paths-ignore:
      - 'backend/**'
