  • Closes

Additional details

  • migrates trigger-publish-binary-pipeline.js to an inlined bash script to speed it up and simplify it
  • adds a pipeline parameter that can be set via CircleCI UI to determine which branch we use in the publish-binary pipeline, to reduce file churn and human error
  • updates the packages/electron/README.md to include the simplified steps

This should reduce cognitive load regarding branches when performing Electron upgrades.

Steps to test

How has the user experience changed?

PR Tasks


Note

Adds a CircleCI parameter to choose the publish-binary target branch and replaces the Node trigger script with a new bash-based CircleCI command, updating docs accordingly.

  • CI (CircleCI):
    • Parameters: Add publish-binary-branch to /.circleci/config.yml and .circleci/src/pipeline/@pipeline.yml.
    • Trigger command: Introduce commands/trigger-publish-binary-pipeline.yml (bash) that triggers the cypress-publish-binary pipeline, outputs ~/triggered_pipeline.json, and accepts target-repo-branch.
      • Update create-and-trigger-packaging-artifacts to call trigger-publish-binary-pipeline with target-repo-branch: << pipeline.parameters.publish-binary-branch >>.
    • Cleanup: Remove scripts/binary/trigger-publish-binary-pipeline.js.
  • Docs:
    • Update packages/electron/README.md to use the new Circle parameterized flow (add branch to &full-workflow-filters, set publish-binary-branch in CircleCI UI); remove references to the old JS trigger script.

…ed value for branch

- migrates trigger-publish-binary-pipeline.js to an inlined bash script to speed
  it up and simplify it
- adds a pipeline parameter that can be set via CircleCI UI to determine which
  branch we use in the publish-binary pipeline, to reduce file churn and human
  error
- updates the packages/electron/README.md to include the simplified steps
- [ ] Temporarily update the circle configuration to allow `cypress` to run against the branch
- [ ] Temporarily set target `cypress-publish-binary` branch as a `branch` property on the request body in [../../scripts/binary/trigger-publish-binary-pipeline.js](../../scripts/binary/trigger-publish-binary-pipeline.js) script, so that you can test against this branch from the electron upgrade branch. This property must be set both at the root of the body object, and on the `parameters` key. If it is not set at the root, the binary pipeline will continue to use the primary branch.
- [ ] Add your branch name to the `&full-workflow-filters` anchor in [`@pipeline.yml`](../../.circleci/src/pipeline/@pipeline.yml)
