GitHub Action
check-version-changed-rust
Useful in cases when you you want to automatically perform additional steps like creating a release and deploying/publishing the app if version is changed.
Not useful when you create releases manualy and trigger deploy/publish from the release or manually.
When the step runs, at the end, it saves in the cache the last commit in repo as since_commit and the next time it runs it checks for version change since that commit.
Warning
If version is changed and you have 2 workflows that triger on push that inside are using this action, only first one that runs the check version step will see the version change, the second one will NOT, please keep this in mind when you design your workflows.
When running the step for the first time, as we dont' have since_commit saved, it will compare the verison with latest release tag.
An example of such a workflow could be this:
- on
push- run tests
- build
AURimage (cargo aur)- if version changed
- create
release, attach binaries asartifact, url used inPKGBUILDto distribute the binaries- publish to
AUR - publish to
crates.io
- publish to
- create
- if version changed
- build docker image
- if version changed push it to
Docker Hub
- if version changed push it to
- build
- run tests
Warning
GITHUB_TOKEN need to have Workflow Write permission. For that got here (change OWNER and REPO) https://github.com/OWNER/REPO/settings/actions Actions -> General and at the bottom in the Workflow permissions section check Read and write permissions.
This is needed because it saves the since_commit in the cache between runs.
