Background

Dependabot is a great way to automatically keep dependencies up-to-date, but the support for Flutter is still under construction (hopefully).

Solution

For the time being, I put together this action to automate package updating for Flutter projects.

The action scans the default (master) branch and opens pull requests to update all packages defined in pubspec.yml.

The actions requires:

  • subosito/flutter-action@v1
  • actions/setup-java@v1
  • actions/checkout@v1

Example

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: 0 2 * * *
jobs:
  test:
    name: example Flutter package updater
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v1
      - uses: actions/setup-java@v1
        with:
          java-version: '12.x'
      - uses: subosito/flutter-action@v1
        with:
          flutter-version: '1.12.13+hotfix.5'
          channel: 'stable'
      - name: run flutter package updater
        uses: tianhaoz95/update-flutter-packages@v0.0.1
        with:
          flutter-project: './sample_flutter_app'
          git-email: 'tianhaoz@umich.edu'
          git-name: 'Tianhao Zhou'
          token: ${{ secrets.TIANHAOZ_GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Happy hacking!

Spend your time on what matters, let automation take care the rest ;)
