Common CI workflows for OpenConfig Projects

Upgrading CI Version

Automatically Updating CI Version

GitHub's dependabot supports updating reusable workflows.

Here is an example of how to enable dependabot, and what an update PR looks like.

Manually Updating CI Version

When updating a repository to use the latest reusable CI workflow on the main branch, <latest SHA> should be used following the safest security and stability recommendations: Stability Recommendations

Do this by simply updating the SHA in the user repository's .github/workflows/go.yml to the SHA of the current main branch (example). If you created a PR to update the reusable workflow, then this will be available after the PR is merged.

First-time Use

Standard Go Usage

Copy the following into your repository's .github/workflows/go.yml:

name: Go

on:
  push:
    branches: [ master ]
  pull_request:
  schedule:
    - cron: "0 0 * * *"

jobs:
  go:
    uses: openconfig/common-ci/.github/workflows/go.yml@<latest SHA>

  linter:
    uses: openconfig/common-ci/.github/workflows/linter.yml@<latest SHA>

Then copy the sample linter configurations folder into your repository:

cp -r common-ci/.github/linters YOUR-REPO/.github/linters

At this point, you may wish to change the configuration of these linters to suit your own repository.

Basic Go Usage (for simple Go repositories)

If you do not want to maintain linter configuration, then you may use the basic workflow, which only involves copying the following into your repository's .github/workflows/go.yml:

name: Go

on:
  push:
    branches: [ master ]
  pull_request:
  schedule:
    - cron: "0 0 * * *"

jobs:
  go:
    uses: openconfig/common-ci/.github/workflows/basic_go.yml@<latest SHA>

Flags

Some flags are supported for customizing the CI workflow, for example,

jobs:
  go:
    uses: openconfig/common-ci/.github/workflows/basic_go.yml@<latest SHA>
    with:
      static-analysis-excludes-regex: exampleoc
      skip-gofmt: true
      skip-staticcheck: true

For all supported flags, see the corresponding reusable workflow definitions under .github/workflows.
