# GitHub Action Tests
|
|
|
|
This directory contains necessary files to allow local testing of GitHub Actions workflows, composite actions, etc. You will need to install [act](https://github.com/nektos/act) to perform tests.
|
|
|
|
## Workflow tests
|
|
|
|
Trigger specific workflow files by specifying their full path:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
act -W .github/workflow/release.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You will likely need to override any custom runners we use, e.g. buildjet. For example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
override=catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest
|
|
|
|
act -W .github/workflow/release.yml \
|
|
-P buildjet-8vcpu-ubuntu-2204=$override
|
|
|
|
# override multiple images at the same time
|
|
act -W .github/workflow/release.yml \
|
|
-P buildjet-8vcpu-ubuntu-2204=$override \
|
|
-P buildjet-16vcpu-ubuntu-2204=$override
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Trigger with specific event payloads to test pushing to branches or tags:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
override=catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest
|
|
|
|
# simulate push to main
|
|
act -W .github/workflow/publish.yml \
|
|
-P buildjet-8vcpu-ubuntu-2204=$override \
|
|
-P buildjet-16vcpu-ubuntu-2204=$override \
|
|
-e .github/events/push-tag-main.json
|
|
|
|
# simulate a `build-` prefixed tag
|
|
act -W .github/workflow/publish.yml \
|
|
-P buildjet-8vcpu-ubuntu-2204=$override \
|
|
-P buildjet-16vcpu-ubuntu-2204=$override \
|
|
-e .github/events/push-tag-buld.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
By default, `act` will send a push event. To trigger a different event:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# basic syntax
|
|
act <EVENT> ...
|
|
|
|
# simulate a pull request
|
|
act pull_request
|
|
|
|
# only trigger a specific workflow
|
|
act pull_request -W .github/workflow/pr_checks.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Composite action tests
|
|
|
|
The composite (custom) action tests can be run by triggering the `test-actions` workflow:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
act -W .github/test/test-actions.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Helpful flags
|
|
|
|
- `--pull=false` - perform fully offline tests if all images are already present
|
|
- `-j <job_name>` - run the specified job only
|
|
- `-l push` - list all workflows with push triggers
