Github Workflows

Reusable workflows and actions

Important

Many of these workflows require a Personal Access Token to function.

  • Create a new PAT with Repo access
    • It is recommended that this is a service account user
    • Note: This user/bot will need to have access to push to your repo's default branch. This can be configured in the branch protection rules.
  • Add the PAT as an Actions Organization secret
    • Set the Name to SVC_CLI_BOT_GITHUB_TOKEN
    • Paste in your new PAT as the Value
    • Set Repository Access to 'Selected Repositories'
    • Click the gear icon to select repos that need access to the PAT
      • This can be edited later
    • Click Add Secret

Opinionated publish process for npm

github is the source of truth for code AND releases. Get the version/tag/release right on github, then publish to npm based on that.

  1. work on a feature branch, commiting with conventional-commits
  2. merge to main
  3. A push to main produces (if your commits have fix: or feat:) a bumped package.json and a tagged github release via githubRelease
  4. A release cause npmPublish to run.

Just need to publish to npm? You could use any public action to do step 4. Use this repo's npmPublish if you need either

  1. codesigning for Salesforce CLIs
  2. integration with CTC or if you own other repos that need those features and just want consistency.

githubRelease

creates a github release based on conventional commit prefixes. Using commits like fix: etc (patch version) and feat: wow (minor version). A commit whose body (not the title) contains BREAKING CHANGES: will cause the action to update the packageVersion to the next major version, produce a changelog, tag and release.

name: create-github-release

on:
  push:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  release:
    uses: salesforcecli/github-workflows/.github/workflows/create-github-release.yml@main
    secrets: inherit
    # you can also pass in values for the secrets
    # secrets:
    #  SVC_CLI_BOT_GITHUB_TOKEN: gh_pat00000000

npmPublish

This will verify that the version has not already been published. There are additional params for signing your plugin and integrating with Change Traffic Control (release moratoriums) that you probably only care about if your work for Salesforce.

example usage

on:
  release:
    # the result of the githubRelease workflow
    types: [published]

jobs:
  my-publish:
    uses: salesforcecli/github-workflows/.github/workflows/npmPublish.yml
    with:
      tag: latest
      githubTag: ${{ github.event.release.tag_name }}
    secrets: inherit
    # you can also pass in values for the secrets
    # secrets:
    #  NPM_TOKEN: ^&*$

Plugin Signing

Plugins created by Salesforce teams can be signed automatically with sign:true if the repo is in salesforcecli or forcedotcom gitub organization.

You'll need the CLI team to enable your repo for signing. Ask in https://salesforce-internal.slack.com/archives/C0298EE05PU

Plugin signing is not available outside of Salesforce. Your users can add your plugin to their allow list (unsignedPluginAllowList.json)

on:
  release:
    # the result of the githubRelease workflow
    types: [published]

jobs:
  my-publish:
    uses: salesforcecli/github-workflows/.github/workflows/npmPublish.yml
    with:
      sign: true
      tag: latest
      githubTag: ${{ github.event.release.tag_name }}
    secrets: inherit

Prereleases

main will release to latest. Other branches can create github prereleases and publish to other npm dist tags.

You can create a prerelease one of two ways:

  1. Create a branch with the prerelease/** prefix. Example prerelease/my-fix
    1. Once a PR is opened, every commit pushed to this branch will create a prerelease
    2. The default prerelease tag will be dev. If another tag is desired, manually set it in your package.json. Example: 1.2.3-beta.0
  2. Manually run the create-github-release workflow in the Actions tab
    1. Click Run workflow
      1. Select the branch you want to create a prerelease from
      2. Enter the desired prerelease tag: dev, beta, etc

Note

Since conventional commits are used, there is no need to manually remove the prerelease tag from your package.json. Once the PR is merged into main, conventional commits will bump the version as expected (patch for fix:, minor for feat:, etc)

Setup:

  1. Configure the branch rules for wherever you want to release from
  2. Modify your release and publish workflows like the following
name: create-github-release

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
      # point at specific branches, or a naming convention via wildcard
      - prerelease/**
    tags-ignore:
      - "*"
  workflow_dispatch:
    inputs:
      prerelease:
        type: string
        description: "Name to use for the prerelease: beta, dev, etc. NOTE: If this is already set in the package.json, it does not need to be passed in here."

jobs:
  release:
    uses: salesforcecli/github-workflows/.github/workflows/create-github-release.yml@main
    secrets: inherit
    with:
      prerelease: ${{ inputs.prerelease }}
      # If this is a push event, we want to skip the release if there are no semantic commits
      # However, if this is a manual release (workflow_dispatch), then we want to disable skip-on-empty
      # This helps recover from forgetting to add semantic commits ('fix:', 'feat:', etc.)
      skip-on-empty: ${{ github.event_name == 'push' }}
name: publish

on:
  release:
    # both release and prereleases
    types: [published]
  # support manual release in case something goes wrong and needs to be repeated or tested
  workflow_dispatch:
    inputs:
      tag:
        description: github tag that needs to publish
        type: string
        required: true

jobs:
  # parses the package.json version and detects prerelease tag (ex: beta from 4.4.4-beta.0)
  getDistTag:
    outputs:
      tag: ${{ steps.distTag.outputs.tag }}
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          ref: ${{ github.event.release.tag_name || inputs.tag  }}
      - uses: salesforcecli/github-workflows/.github/actions/getPreReleaseTag@main
        id: distTag

  npm:
    uses: salesforcecli/github-workflows/.github/workflows/npmPublish.yml@main
    needs: [getDistTag]
    with:
      tag: ${{ needs.getDistTag.outputs.tag || 'latest' }}
      githubTag: ${{ github.event.release.tag_name || inputs.tag }}
    secrets: inherit

Publishing from multiple long-lived branches

In this example main publishes to npm on a 1.x.x version and uses latest. some-other-branch publishes version 2.x.x and uses the v2 dist tag

name: version, tag and github release

on:
  push:
    # add the other branch so that it causes github releases just like main does
    branches: [main, some-other-branch]

jobs:
  release:
    uses: salesforcecli/github-workflows/.github/workflows/githubRelease.yml@main
    secrets: inherit
on:
  release:
    # the result of the githubRelease workflow
    types: [published]

jobs:
  my-publish:
    uses: salesforcecli/github-workflows/.github/workflows/npmPublish.yml
    with:
      # ternary-ish https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/409#issuecomment-752775072
      # if the version is 2.x we release it on the `v2` dist tag
      tag: ${{ startsWith( github.event.release.tag_name || inputs.tag, '1.') && 'latest' || 'v2'}}
      githubTag: ${{ github.event.release.tag_name }}
    secrets: inherit

Opinionated Testing Process

Write unit tests to tests units of code (a function/method).

Write not-unit-tests to tests larger parts of code (a command) against real environments/APIs.

Run the UT first (faster, less expensive for infrastructure/limits).

name: tests
on:
  push:
    branches-ignore: [main]
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  unit-tests:
    uses: salesforcecli/github-workflows/.github/workflows/unitTest.yml@main
  nuts:
    needs: unit-tests
    uses: salesforcecli/github-workflows/.github/workflows/nut.yml@main
    secrets: inherit
    strategy:
      matrix:
        os: [ubuntu-latest, windows-latest]
      fail-fast: false
    with:
      os: ${{ matrix.os }}

Other Tooling

nut conditional on commit message

# conditional nuts based on commit message includes a certain string
sandbox-nuts:
  needs: [nuts, unit-tests]
  if: contains(github.event.push.head_commit.message,'[sb-nuts]')
  uses: salesforcecli/github-workflows/.github/workflows/nut.yml@main
  secrets: inherit
  with:
    command: test:nuts:sandbox
    os: ubuntu-latest

externalNut

Scenario

  1. you have NUTs on a plugin that uses a library
  2. you want to check changes to the library against those NUTs

see https://github.com/forcedotcom/source-deploy-retrieve/blob/> e09d635a7b852196701e71a4b2fba401277da313/.github/workflows/test.yml#L25 for an example

automerge

This example calls the automerge job. It'll merge PRs from dependabot that are

  1. up to date with main
  2. mergeable (per github)
  3. all checks have completed and none failed (skipped may not have run)
name: automerge
on:
  workflow_dispatch:
  schedule:
    - cron: "56 2,5,8,11 * * *"

jobs:
  automerge:
    uses: salesforcecli/github-workflows/.github/workflows/automerge.yml@main
    # secrets are needed
    secrets: inherit

need squash?

automerge:
  with:
    mergeMethod: squash

versionInfo

requires npm to exist. Use in a workflow that has already done that

given an npmTag (ex: 7.100.0 or latest) returns the numeric version (foo => 7.100.0) plus > the xz linux tarball url and the short (7 char) sha.

Intended for releasing CLIs, not for general use on npm packages.

# inside steps
- uses: salesforcecli/github-workflows/.github/actions/versionInfo@main
  id: version-info
  with:
    version: ${{ inputs.version }}
    npmPackage: sfdx-cli
- run: echo "version is ${{ steps.version-info.outputs.version }}
- run: echo "sha is ${{ steps.version-info.outputs.sha }}
- run: echo "url is ${{ steps.version-info.outputs.url }}

validatePR

Checks that PRs have a link to a github issue OR a GUS WI in the form of @W-12456789@ (the @ are to be compatible with git2gus)

name: pr-validation

on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, reopened, edited]
    # only applies to PRs that want to merge to main
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  pr-validation:
    uses: salesforcecli/github-workflows/.github/workflows/validatePR.yml@main

prNotification

Mainly used to notify Slack when Pull Requests are opened.

For more info see .github/actions/prNotification/README.md

name: Slack Pull Request Notification

on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, reopened]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Notify Slack on PR open
        env:
          WEBHOOK_URL: ${{ secrets.SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL }}
          PULL_REQUEST_AUTHOR_ICON_URL: ${{ github.event.pull_request.user.avatar_url }}
          PULL_REQUEST_AUTHOR_NAME: ${{ github.event.pull_request.user.login }}
          PULL_REQUEST_AUTHOR_PROFILE_URL: ${{ github.event.pull_request.user.html_url }}
          PULL_REQUEST_BASE_BRANCH_NAME: ${{ github.event.pull_request.base.ref }}
          PULL_REQUEST_COMPARE_BRANCH_NAME: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.ref }}
          PULL_REQUEST_NUMBER: ${{ github.event.pull_request.number }}
          PULL_REQUEST_REPO: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.repo.name }}
          PULL_REQUEST_TITLE: ${{ github.event.pull_request.title }}
          PULL_REQUEST_URL: ${{ github.event.pull_request.html_url }}
        uses: salesforcecli/github-workflows/.github/actions/prNotification@main
