deployment-status

A GitHub action to update the status of Deployments as part of your GitHub CI workflows.

Works great with my other action to create Deployments, chrnorm/deployment-action.

Action inputs

name	description
state	The state to set the deployment to. Must be one of the below: "error" "failure" "inactive" "in_progress" "queued" "pending" "success"
token	GitHub token
target_url	(Optional) The target URL. This should be the URL of the app once deployed
description	(Optional) Descriptive message about the deployment
environment_url	(Optional) Sets the URL for accessing your environment
deployment_id	The ID of the deployment to update

Usage example

The below example includes chrnorm/deployment-action and chrnorm/deployment-status to create and update a deployment within a workflow.

name: Deploy

on: [push]

jobs:
  deploy:
    name: Deploy my app

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v1

      - uses: chrnorm/deployment-action@releases/v1
        name: Create GitHub deployment
        id: deployment
        with:
          token: "${{ github.token }}"
          target_url: http://my-app-url.com
          environment: production

      - name: Deploy my app
        run: |
          # add your deployment code here

      - name: Update deployment status (success)
        if: success()
        uses: chrnorm/deployment-status@releases/v1
        with:
          token: "${{ github.token }}"
          target_url: http://my-app-url.com
          state: "success"
          deployment_id: ${{ steps.deployment.outputs.deployment_id }}

      - name: Update deployment status (failure)
        if: failure()
        uses: chrnorm/deployment-status@releases/v1
        with:
          token: "${{ github.token }}"
          target_url: http://my-app-url.com
          state: "failure"
          deployment_id: ${{ steps.deployment.outputs.deployment_id }}

Development

Install dependencies with npm install.

Building

First build Typescript with npm run build. Then package to a single JS file with npm run pack. The pack step uses ncc(https://github.com/zeit/ncc) as specified in the Typescript GitHub Actions template.

Testing

There is a validation workflow in .github/workflows/validate.yml which performs a basic smoke test against the action to check that it runs.
