Description:
Currently, releasing new versions of the
setup-node
action is the manual and unreliable process. In scope of this PR we added a workflow file in order to automate creating/updating a major version tag when a newsetup-node
version is released. We use the actions/publish-action action for this purpose.Details:
We added:
workflow_dispatch
event to manually trigger a workflow run;release
webhook event to automatically trigger workflow run when a new action version is released;releaseNewActionVersion
environment with protection rules to require a manual approval.Reverting changes is almost the same process as updating major version tag. In case of any issues related to the updated tag, we have to manually trigger workflow run with the previous stable tag as a parameter.
