@Vampire I’m wondering if you can implement https://github.com/krzema12/github-workflows-kt/issues/641 - I’m curious if the guide on adding a new action is understandable and correct: https://github.com/krzema12/github-workflows-kt/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#requestingadding-support-for-an-action

Anyone interested in an excessive use of this nice lib? I finished my actions migration: https://github.com/Vampire/setup-wsl/blob/4eea7c92d6c56a39bfcebcdcb93be63388497f59/.github/workflows/test.main.kts 🙂 (Be careful, the GitHub code highlighting is broken from line 385 on :-D)

kudos to @Vampire for all his contributions and feedback when onboarding the lib 🙂 🚀 now the library is even more Windows-friendly 😉

@Vampire I see there’s a repeated piece in your workflows: the copyright note. FYI, there’s a way to extract it to a common place (see _shared.main.kts in the lib), but in practice it’s unfortunately a bit painful to use due to these bugs: • Scripts: @file:Import() in kotlin-main-kts uses a stale cache • Imported script are not supported for scripts outside of a source root maybe you could +1 them to increase chances of getting them fixed because you’d potentially also use this feature

Hm, I need

actions/cache/restore@v3

and

actions/cache/save@v3

. But I fear the generator will not work with that? 😭

How do you feed an expression calculated value to a typed input, for example a boolean input? I guess just with custom arguments for now and for proper support for that we would need denotable union types when they finally get added hopefully.

Great, how did I now break the IDE support for the scripts completely? No code completion whats-o-ever, no error highlighting, no navigation not even to the decompiled classes, just not usable. grml Have you seen that behavior before and / or any idea? I already did an invalidate index and restart, but no change.

I'd like to bring your attention to this PR: https://github.com/actions/stale/pull/830 which aims at adding action typings for a first-party GitHub action with most inputs. It plays an important role in boosting adoption of the typings standard. If it gets merged, it should be much easier to convince action authors to onboard. Feel free to leave your +1 or approve, if you approve 😉

hello all - I'm looking for a way to use github-workflows-kt as a standalone GH workflow YAML builder without Kotlin script or any of the file handling/checking aspects. is this an intended/supported use-case? my current approach is to pass in a fake file path for

sourceFile

and call toYaml with

addConsistencyCheck = false

. example:

val wf = workflow(
    name = "test",
    on = listOf(Push()),
    sourceFile = Path("not-a-real-file")
) {
    job("test", runsOn = RunnerType.UbuntuLatest) {
        run(command = "echo 'Hello!'")
    }
}

val yaml = wf.toYaml(addConsistencyCheck = false)

println(yaml)

github-actions-typing got their first stable v1.0.0 release! Please remember about it when contributing typings to various actions, I've also updated the usage guide to point to v1

🎉 v0.36.0 released! Kudos go to @Vampire and @Damien O'Hara for their contributions!

I am investigating how to make generated YAML more idiomatic per standard Github Actions conventions. could there be a future where

snakeyaml-engine

is replaced by a dedicated YAML builder in the

library

module in pursuit of this? happy to fully prototype and test a replacement for the snakeyaml emitter

@Alina Dolgikh [JB] I'm wondering what superpowers I get when I become a mod of this channel. In particular I'd like to be able to call @here and @channel for announcements relevant for all customers of my lib (like this). Is it possible?

@Piotr Krzemiński , have you tried asking GitHub to add type information to action.yml schema? Information like type (string, numeric, enum) is helpful anyway. It might be that json schema would work nice there. I guess the repo for the issue would be https://github.com/actions/runner

<!channel> (on behalf of @Piotr Krzemiński): I’d like to gather as much feedback in the survey as possible, so if you’re actively interested in the future of github-workflows-kt, please vote and share your thoughts: https://github.com/krzema12/github-workflows-kt/discussions/633 . If you’re not interested, forgive the ping 🙂

hi all. I'm trying to port this workflow to

github-workflows-kt

but I am not sure how to tackle the line

url: ${{ steps.deployment.outputs.page_url }}

. I don't mind hard coding it in a _customArgument it but I don't see a way to provide the

deployment

step id to that deployment step. hard-coding the generated id (e.g.

step-4

) seems brittle since the ids are positional. any thoughts on the best approach here?

There is currently no way to get custom outputs from an action that does not have outputs at all, for example because it was modelled wrongly or because the outputs were just added by the action developer. If I were to create a PR to fix that, how would you prefer it? I see three options: • Make any action have custom outputs available • Make

ExternalActionStep

have a function

withCustomOutputs()

• Make

ExternalActionStep

have a property

withCustomOutputs

@Vampire maybe you'll know as a Windows-man 🙂 I want to make this change to be able to use Gradle 8: https://github.com/krzema12/github-workflows-kt/pull/684 but I'm getting this on Windows:

No compatible toolchains found for request specification: {languageVersion=11, vendor=any, implementation=vendor-specific} (auto-detect true, auto-download false).

it seems a bit weird, 11 is still pretty popular - why wouldn't it be available? I'm checking the included software and Java 11 is there 🤔

🚀 v0.37.0 released!

@Adam S I’d like to continue the discussion on a custom script context: https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C0B8MA7FA/p1676989225653899?thread_ts=1676985449.906609&amp;cid=C0B8MA7FA could you elaborate how it could be achieved? the simplicity of the current approach is that it just works by specifying the shebang, no extra stuff is needed. I’m wondering how the API of the library would have to be changed for this to work

🚀 v0.38.0 released!

is there any pattern in actions-typing or github-workflows-kt for modelling this kind of structured input? i would like to write builders that assemble this list of values with type safety ideally but … i see no way to neatly integrate that and scope it to just this action type..

🚀 v0.39.0 released!

Hi folks, I'm considering making the library stable (1.0) soon-ish. Because I expect some increase of interest in using the library, I'd like to ensure that there's proper support for the library e. g. even if I'm not able to react to some bugs that need immediate attention. That's why I'm looking for a co-owner/co-Maintainer I can count on 😄 please let me know if you'd like to become one

I often get these when editing files with Android Studio. Do you guys know what's the problem? 100% sure it's not library related, but maybe you faced this already

Hey, I was wondering if it was possible to run a maven publish workflow on github only when the project.version in the build.gradle.kts changes.

i think the best way to do that might be to check if such a tag exists.. if not .. run the code and create and push the tag ?

the comparison if project.version changed.. is something you could do with git hook scripts too…
