How to implement an "after success" action?

[GabeDuarteM]

I have the following action, named “Node CI”, which runs on every push:

name: Node CI
on: [push]
env:

CI: true
jobs:

build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest

strategy:
  matrix:
    node-version: [8.x, 13.x]

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v1
- name: Use Node.js ${{ matrix.node-version }}
  uses: actions/setup-node@v1
  with:
    node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}
- run: yarn install
- run: yarn run ci

After all build matrixes are successful (as in, successful build on both node 8 and 13), if the branch is master, I’d like to run a release process, which would consist of basically

name: Release
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master
jobs:
  release:
    name: Release
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v1
      - name: Setup Node.js
        uses: actions/setup-node@v1
        with:
          node-version: 13.x
      - name: Install dependencies
        run: yarn install
- name: Build
run: yarn run build
      - name: Release
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          NPM_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}
        run: npx semantic-release

How can I make the “Release” workflow run only after all “Node CI” are finished and successful (including all matrixes)?

[nakedible]

Put them both in the same workflow, and add:

jobs:
  build:
    ...
  release:
    if: ${{ github.ref == 'master' }}
    needs: build
    ...

Release job only gets triggered if we are in master branch and “build” job is successful and complete, including the whole matrix.

How would one implement an “else” script, such as using if for success, and something else for failure (what I’m trying to do)

Any solution to the if/else problem?

Take a look at the Workflow Conclusion Action.

https://github.com/marketplace/actions/workflow-conclusion-action

The action creates an environment variable that you can use check the status of the other jobs.

Here’s the example from their README:

on: push
name: CI
jobs:

lint:

name: ESLint

runs-on: ubuntu-latest

...
test:

name: Coverage

needs: lint

strategy:

matrix:

node: ['11', '12']

...
publish:

name: Publish Package

needs: test

if: startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/v')

...
slack:

name: Slack

needs: publish # set needs only last job except this job

runs-on: ubuntu-latest

if: always() # set always

steps:

# run this action to get workflow conclusion

# You can get conclusion by env (env.WORKFLOW_CONCLUSION)

- uses: technote-space/workflow-conclusion-action@v1

- uses: 8398a7/action-slack@v2

with:

# status: ${{ env.WORKFLOW_CONCLUSION }} # neutral, success, cancelled, timed_out, failure

status: failure

env:

GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL: ${{ secrets.SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL }}

if: env.WORKFLOW_CONCLUSION == 'failure' # notify only if failure

Notice that the last step only runs if the other jobs failed.

This is how I implemented if/else with slack notifications for my failed builds:

jobs:
  build-and-deploy:
    name: Build and Deploy
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    ...
   - name: notify of failure
      if: ${{ failure() }}
      uses: tokorom/action-slack-incoming-webhook@main
      env:
        INCOMING_WEBHOOK_URL: ${{ secrets.SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL }}
      with:
        text: XXX Build failed - Deploy - Server - TEST - Azure Web Apps CI/CD. XXX
    - name: notify of success
      if: ${{ success() }}
     uses: tokorom/action-slack-incoming-webhook@main
      env:
        INCOMING_WEBHOOK_URL: ${{ secrets.SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL }}
      with:
        text: ":heavy_check_mark: Build success - Deploy -  Server - TEST - Azure Web pps CI/CD. :heavy_check_mark:"

[case]

This is a great solution. You can also do it with curl:

      - name: Notify if failure
        if: ${{ failure() }}
        run: |
          curl -X POST -H 'Content-type: application/json' --data '{"text":"❌ {your-job-name-here} failed."}' ${{ secrets.SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL }}
  - name: Notify if success
    if: ${{ success() }}
    run: |
      curl -X POST -H 'Content-type: application/json' --data '{"text":"✅ {your-job-name-here} passed."}' ${{ secrets.SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL }}
