How do I get the URL after a pages preview deployment?

[LittleSound]

I want to use the preview deployment of pages in PR and add URL to environment, but I don't know how to get the "Preview URL", it's not written in the documentation.

Desired effect

jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Deploy
    environment:
      name: dev-preview
      url: ${{ steps.builddeploy.outputs.web_app_url }}
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Publish
        uses: cloudflare/wrangler-action@2.0.0
        with:
          apiToken: ${{ secrets.CF_API_TOKEN }}
          accountId: ${{ secrets.CF_ACCOUNT_ID }}
          command: pages publish --project-name=example

When this CI is run you will see:

Is there any way how to do this currently? Given that cloudflare also trims the branch name alias deploy url after certain characters, this is must have for us to be able to display deployed preview url in the PR comments. Thanks!

You can use Pages action: https://github.com/cloudflare/pages-action

[polaroidkidd]

so the pages action will deprecated at some point in the future - cloudflare/pages-action#131 (comment)

How would we do this with the wrangler-action?

For what its worth, I don't work at Cloudflare anymore.

But I do see @polaroidkidd that this action now has outputs for deployment URLs: https://github.com/cloudflare/wrangler-action?tab=readme-ov-file#using-the-deployment-url-output-variable

There is an example on that README which shows how you access it through .outputs:

- name: Deploy
  id: deploy
  uses: cloudflare/wrangler-action@v3
  with:
    apiToken: ${{ secrets.CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN }}
    accountId: ${{ secrets.CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID }}
    command: pages deploy --project-name=example

- name: print deployment-url
  env:
    DEPLOYMENT_URL: ${{ steps.deploy.outputs.deployment-url }}
  run: echo $DEPLOYMENT_URL

[polaroidkidd]

A, thanks. I was hoping for a option similar to what the pages action supplied. I looked into the action a bit and it's a lot more involved than just setting a flag to display the information in the action run or on the PR. Echoing it out will do for now though. Thanks!

For reference, once #291 lands you will also have steps.deploy.outputs.deployment-alias-url available as long as you use the action with Wrangler 3.78.0+ to get the branch alias for the preview URL.
