deploy-pages

This action deploys a static HTML site to PageUp

Usage

See action.yml for the various inputs this action supports. This action deploys a static HTML site present in directory specified by ${{ inputs.build_folder }} (dist/ by default). We recommend this action to be used in a dedicated job:

jobs:
  build:
    steps:
      # <Not provided for brevity>
      # At a minimum this job should compile a static site to some folder

      - name: Deploy to PageUp
        id: deployment
        uses: nna/deploy-pageup@v1 # or specific "vX.X.X" version tag for this action

Development info

Initial Setup

After you've cloned the repository to your local machine or codespace, you'll need to perform some initial setup steps before you can develop your action.

Note

You'll need to have a reasonably modern version of Node.js handy (20.x or later should work!). If you are using a version manager like nodenv or fnm, this template has a .node-version file at the root of the repository that can be used to automatically switch to the correct version when you cd into the repository. Additionally, this .node-version file is used by GitHub Actions in any actions/setup-node actions.

1. 🛠️ Install the dependencies

   npm install
   

2. 🏗️ Package the JavaScript for distribution

   npm run bundle
   

3. ✅ Run the tests

   $ npm test
   
   PASS  ./index.test.js
     ✓ throws invalid number (3ms)
     ✓ wait 500 ms (504ms)
     ✓ test runs (95ms)
   
   ...
   

Update the Action Code

The src/ directory is the heart of your action! This contains the source code that will be run when your action is invoked. You can replace the contents of this directory with your own code.

There are a few things to keep in mind when writing your action code:

• Most GitHub Actions toolkit and CI/CD operations are processed asynchronously. In main.js, you will see that the action is run in an async function.

  const core = require('@actions/core')
  //...
  
  async function run() {
    try {
      //...
    } catch (error) {
      core.setFailed(error.message)
    }
  }
  

  For more information about the GitHub Actions toolkit, see the documentation.

So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and start customizing your action!

1. Create a new branch

   git checkout -b releases/v1
   

2. Replace the contents of src/ with your action code

3. Add tests to __tests__/ for your source code

4. Format, test, and build the action

   npm run all
   

   This step is important! It will run rollup to build the final JavaScript action code with all dependencies included. If you do not run this step, your action will not work correctly when it is used in a workflow.

5. (Optional) Test your action locally

   The @github/local-action utility can be used to test your action locally. It is a simple command-line tool that "stubs" (or simulates) the GitHub Actions Toolkit. This way, you can run your JavaScript action locally without having to commit and push your changes to a repository.

   The local-action utility can be run in the following ways:

   • Visual Studio Code Debugger

     Make sure to review and, if needed, update .vscode/launch.json

   • Terminal/Command Prompt

     # npx @github/local action <action-yaml-path> <entrypoint> <dotenv-file>
     npx @github/local-action . src/main.js .env
     

   You can provide a .env file to the local-action CLI to set environment variables used by the GitHub Actions Toolkit. For example, setting inputs and event payload data used by your action. For more information, see the example file, .env.example, and the GitHub Actions Documentation.

6. Commit your changes

   git add .
   git commit -m "My first action is ready!"
   

7. Push them to your repository

   git push -u origin releases/v1
   

8. Create a pull request and get feedback on your action

9. Merge the pull request into the main branch

Your action is now published! 🚀

For information about versioning your action, see Versioning in the GitHub Actions toolkit.

Usage

After testing, you can create version tag(s) that developers can use to reference different stable versions of your action. For more information, see Versioning in the GitHub Actions toolkit.

To include the action in a workflow in another repository, you can use the uses syntax with the @ symbol to reference a specific branch, tag, or commit hash.

steps:
  - name: Checkout
    id: checkout
    uses: actions/checkout@v4

  - name: Test Local Action
    id: test-action
    uses: actions/javascript-action@v1 # Commit with the `v1` tag
    with:
      milliseconds: 1000

  - name: Print Output
    id: output
    run: echo "${{ steps.test-action.outputs.time }}"

Dependency License Management

This template includes a GitHub Actions workflow, licensed.yml, that uses Licensed to check for dependencies with missing or non-compliant licenses. This workflow is initially disabled. To enable the workflow, follow the below steps.

1. Open licensed.yml

2. Uncomment the following lines:

   # pull_request:
   #   branches:
   #     - main
   # push:
   #   branches:
   #     - main
   

3. Save and commit the changes

Once complete, this workflow will run any time a pull request is created or changes pushed directly to main. If the workflow detects any dependencies with missing or non-compliant licenses, it will fail the workflow and provide details on the issue(s) found.

Updating Licenses

Whenever you install or update dependencies, you can use the Licensed CLI to update the licenses database. To install Licensed, see the project's Readme.

To update the cached licenses, run the following command:

licensed cache

To check the status of cached licenses, run the following command:

licensed status
