Create Tagged Builds

Overview

This action is intended to reduce the amount of time it takes for a Studio release manager to get a Studio repository ready for release by automating the creation of tagged builds.

With this action impmented in a Studio repository, everytime a tag matching the pattern "v*.*.*" is pushed the following will take place:

1. This action will look at the team_city_project parameter and find that project in TeamCity. It will then list all the subprojects (tagged builds) and find the most recent one.
2. The most recent tagged build will be copied to create a new project that matches the name of the tag that was pushed.
3. This action will look at the dependant tags for the newly created project and get the latest tag name for each and will set the corresponding parameter to this value.
4. Once all parameters and env.version have been updated the newly created project's CI build will be triggered.

Example implementation

Add the following action to a studio repository, update the team_city_project value to match the TeamCity project that builds this repo.

name: Create Tagged Builds
on:
  push:
    tags:
      - "v*.*.*"
jobs:
  create-tagged-build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Create Builds for Release
        id: create-tagged-builds
        uses: q4chrisj/create-tagged-builds@main (don't forget to update this)
        with:
          team_city_uri: ${{ secrets.TEAM_CITY_URI }}
          team_city_token: ${{ secrets.TEAM_CITY_TOKEN }}
          team_city_project: "<TeamCityProjectName>"
          gh_access_token: ${{ secrets.GH_ACCESS_TOKEN}}
