This package is aimed at simplifying and denoising nightly and downstream tests. Instead of notifications for the same failing tests in scheduled CI runs this package will open an issue on the respective repository and close it once the failing tests pass again.
IMPORTANT This package is still work in progress, so use at your own risk!
DownstreamTester.jl will store all information about previous runs and opened issues in a separate branch
downstreamtesterlogs.
For this to work the branch has to be created as an 'orphan' branch by calling
git checkout --orphan downstreamtesterlogs
git touch README.md # fill it with information if you want
git add README.md
git commit -m "Initial commit on log branch"
git push -u origin downstreamtesterlogs
on a clone of the package repository. This will start a branch with a new history (orphan) on the package repository.
To be able to open issues a personal
access token will need to be generated
see.
Afterwards you need to add it as a secret in your GitHub repository
and set the environment variable
ISSUETOKEN to contain that secret in the CI file.
By default DownstreamTester.jl
expects the configuration to be in the file
DownstreamTester.json in the root folder
of the repository.
