clq-action

GitHub Release Date version

GitHub Action for the changelog query tool (clq) — easily validate a changelog and extract the information needed to cut a release.

Inputs

changelog

The name of the changelog file. Default to CHANGELOG.md

changeMap

Optional, the path to a file describing how to map change kind (Added, Changed, Fixed, ...) to a version increment (major, minor, patch). The path is relative to the root of the project. See clq documentation.

dockerProxy

Optional, a prefix to the name of the denisa/clq docker image. This let docker access the image through a proxy, which is handy to bypass dockerhub’s rate limiting.

Assuming for example a private instance of artifactory artifactory.antonio.li setup to proxy docker images as a virtual docker repository, set dockerProxy to artifactory.antonio.li/docker/.

An alternative to that option would be to configure the Docker daemon to use a mirror.

mode

The validation mode, one of feature or release. Default to release. The feature mode validates the syntax and the release ordering; the release mode further enforces that the top-most entry has a release version.

Outputs

All the outputs comes from the top-most entry in the changelog

version

The release version.

tag

The release version as a tag, that is the version prefixed with a v.

name

The title of the release, it defaults to Release followed by the version, unless the release has a label in the changelog. Please see clq for more details.

status

The status of the release, one of prereleased, released, unreleased, or yanked.

changes

All the changes defined for that release. Intended to be used for GitHub’s release description.

Example Usage

Feature Branch

This build only needs to validate that the changelog is syntactically correct. To that effect, add

    - name: Validate the changelog
      uses: denisa/clq-action@v1
      with:
        mode: feature

Pull-request

This build ensures that the changelog introduces a new release version. Use as

  validate-release:
    if: github.event_name == 'pull_request' || github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v4
    - name: Extract tag from the changelog
      uses: denisa/clq-action@v1
      id: clq-extract
      with:
        mode: release
    - name: Validate the tag has not yet been used
      uses: denisa/semantic-tag-helper@v1
      with:
        mode: test
        tag: ${{ steps.clq-extract.outputs.tag }}

Release Branch

This build extracts from the changelog all the information needed to cut a new release. Use

  release:
    if: github.event_name == 'push' && github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
    needs: [ validate-release ]
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v4
    - uses: denisa/clq-action@v1
      id: clq-extract
    - name: Create the tag
      uses: denisa/semantic-tag-helper@v1
      with:
        mode: set
        tag: ${{ steps.clq-extract.outputs.tag }}
    - uses: ncipollo/release-action@v1
      with:
        tag: ${{ steps.clq-extract.outputs.tag }}
        prerelease: ${{ steps.clq-extract.outputs.status == 'prereleased' }}
        name: ${{ steps.clq-extract.outputs.name }}
        body: ${{ steps.clq-extract.outputs.changes }}
