Cd deployment

[DJSaunders1997]

Automating the release process with GitHub actions

I've tested that making a new release https://github.com/DJSaunders1997/Conda-Wingman/releases/tag/test_cd
Creates a new cd release https://github.com/DJSaunders1997/Conda-Wingman/actions/runs/8030491037

I have not tested that the VSCE deploy will successfully update the extension - but I can't see how to test without just trusting it so here we go.

Code Review:

1. Security Risk:

   • Ensure that the actual publishing command is used instead of the placeholder echo "Run publish here!" line to mitigate any potential security risk associated with inadvertently running unwanted commands.

2. Dependency Versioning:

   • Pin down versions for dependencies like Node.js, vsce tool, and npm packages to ensure consistent builds in the future.

3. Documentation:

   • Add more comments or documentations explaining each step in the workflow for better understanding by other developers and for future reference.

4. Error Handling:

   • Implement error handling throughout the workflow to catch potential issues during the installation of dependencies and publishing process.

5. Testing:

   • Consider adding testing steps to verify the extension before publishing to avoid releasing bugs inadvertently.

6. Validation:

   • Validate inputs, such as checking if the Secrets are properly set up and permissions are correctly configured for the GitHub Actions.

7. Cleanup:

   • Consider cleanup steps after the publishing process, such as removing unnecessary artifacts, to keep the workflow clean.

8. Notification:

   • Incorporate a notification step to alert collaborators or users about successful/failed publishing.

By addressing these points, you can enhance the reliability and security of your GitHub Actions workflow for publishing VSCode extensions.

Code Review:

1. Redundant Lines: Remove redundant empty lines (lines 5, 6, 7) in the code.
2. Consistency: Maintain consistency in code formatting and spacing throughout.
3. License Badge Link: Ensure that the License badge links to the correct license file.
4. Release Badge: Verify that the Release badge reflects the accurate status of the release workflow.
5. Image Imports: Confirm that image URLs are valid and accessible.

Improvement Suggestions:

1. Code Comments: Consider adding comments to describe the purpose of specific sections of code.
2. Code Refactoring: If any code blocks are repeated, consider refactoring them into functions to reduce duplication.
3. Build Automation: Implement automated tests or CI/CD pipelines for better code quality control.
4. Error Handling: Enhance error handling mechanisms to provide better feedback to users in case of failures.
5. Dependency Management: Regularly update dependencies to benefit from new features and security patches.

Bug Risks:

• Broken Links: Risk of broken links if URLs are changed or become inaccessible.
• Inconsistent Badge Status: Potential risk of misleading information if badge statuses are not updated correctly.

By addressing these points, you can enhance the overall quality and maintainability of the codebase.

Code Review and Suggestions:

1. The workflow seems well-structured and concise.
2. Consider pinning the actions to specific versions instead of using v2 and @v1. This ensures that your workflow is not affected by future updates.
3. It's recommended to add error handling in case any of the steps (e.g., dependency installation or publishing) fails.
4. Ensure you have proper permissions set for accessing the repository's secrets like VSCE_PAT.
5. Add comments to explain why certain actions are performed to enhance readability and maintainability.
6. Implement linting and automated testing steps if they are applicable for your project.
7. Consider adding a step to create a release version tag before the actual release step to keep track of each release.

These suggestions can improve the reliability, maintainability, and security of your workflow.

The code patch provided seems to be a changelog entry for the "Conda Wingman" extension. Here are some brief remarks based on the information provided:

1. Bug Risk: No apparent bugs in this code patch.
2. Improvement Suggestions:
   • Ensure consistency in the date format (year-month-day). The previous entry used "2023-02", while the current one uses "2024-02". Consistency can help with readability.
   • Consider adding more details about the 'Delete Env' functionality that was added in this release for better clarity in the changelog.
   • It's good to see automation being introduced with GitHub Actions; consider elaborating on how this automation benefits the project development or what specific tasks it automates.

Overall, the changes seem to be straightforward and focused. Adding more context and details about new features can improve the overall quality of the changelog and help users better understand the updates made to the extension.
