Github actions

Setup a basic workflow ​

mkdir -p .github/workflows
touch .github/workflows/continuous-testing.yml

Example of basic .yml file:

name: Continuous Testing
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
  unit-test:
    name: Unit Tests
    runs-on: ubuntu-18.04
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Cache
        uses: actions/cache@v2
        with:
          path: ~/.cache
          key: cache
      - name: Run command
        run: ls -al
      - name: Run even on fail
        if: ${{ success() || failure() }}
        run: pwd

name is the name of the workflow. on is when the workflow is triggered.

jobs.<id> are run in different machines, in parallel by default. jobs.<id>.name is the name of the job. jobs.<id>.runs-on is the OS of the machine. jobs.<id>.steps each step to complete the job.

Actions ​

• Checkout: Action for checking out a repo.
• Cache: Cache dependencies and build outputs.
• Setup Python: Set up your workflow with a specific version of python.
• Pyenv: Enables pyenv within your workflow.

Coveralls ​

For python, the official GitHub Action does not work. As a workaround, install the coveralls package with pip, then manually call it on the script.

- name: Run tests
  env:
    COVERALLS_REPO_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.COVERALLS_REPO_TOKEN }}
  run: |
    python -m pip install coveralls PyYAML
    coverage run ...
    coveralls

Configuration on coveralls.yml is needed.

service_name: travis-ci
parallel: false
