gha-trigger-ci

Trigger a Silverstripe CI workflow

For repositories on the Silverstripe account there are currently 3 different filenames that a CI workflow can be:

• ci.yml -- used for regular modules
• action-ci.yml -- used on gha-* repositories
• action-ci-self.yml -- used only on gha-action-ci

This action will find and trigger the appropriate CI workflow.

Note this is similarly named but distinct from gha-dispatch-ci which is used on a schedule event to trigger a CI workflow on two different major versions of supported Silverstripe modules.

Usage

  triggerci:

Inputs:
