Moving from Travis to GitHub Actions #921
Comments
|
We now have a really nice document and some starting workflows that you can use to help switch to GitHub Actions: https://github.com/exercism/problem-specifications/tree/master/workflows#workflow-templates |
|
To work on this issue, what you're going to want to do is to move each of the checks in https://github.com/exercism/haskell/blob/master/.travis.yml over, and I recommend doing them piecemeal. For example here is one that will just do name: Tests
on:
pull_request:
push:
branches:
- YOURBRANCHNAME
jobs:
track-config:
name: Check track configuration
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Fetch
run: bin/fetch-configlet
- name: Lint
run: bin/configlet lint .(Notice where it says YOURBRANCHNAME - use your branch name there so GHA runs on your branch on your repo) The checks to be moved are as follows. If you have a branch with that particular check moved over, check the box add a link to that branch if you have edit access, otherwise post a comment linking to that branch. When they're all done we'll combine them all.

Don't forget to change the badge in https://github.com/exercism/haskell/blob/master/README.md. New line should be: [](https://github.com/exercism/haskell/actions?query=workflow%3ATests+branch%3Amaster)The string |
Closes #921 The Exercism organisation is moving to GitHub Actions. It runs faster.

Now that all our tests were successfully moved GitHub Actions, there's one thing we now need @iHiD 's help with... Could you change the required checks for our repo? Travis should no longer be required of course. We'd like "Check exercises (lts-from-exercises)" and "Check track configuration" to be required, please. (and not "Check exercises (nightly)") |

All done. Thanks @petertseng! |
We've done all of the following: * moved from Travis to GitHub Actions in #930 * tested that everything works on GitHub Actions in #930 * requested and received confirmation that Travis CI is no longer a required check, and GitHub Actions is required, in #921 We're ready to remove the Travis CI config (which at this point is just running /bin/true anyway so not doing anything useful)
Hello 🙂
Over the last few months we've been transferring all our CI from Travis to GitHub Actions (GHA). We've found that GHA are easier to work with, more reliable, and much much faster.
Based on our success with GHA and increasing intermittent failures on Travis, we have now decided to try and remove Travis from Exercism's org altogether and shift everything to GHA. This issue acts as a call to action if your track is still using Travis.
For most CI checks this should be a transposing from Travis' syntax to GHA syntax, and hopefully quite straightforward (see this PR for an example). However, if you do encounter any issues doing this, please ask on Slack where lots of us now have experience with GHA, or post a comment here and I'll tag relevant people. This would also make a good Hacktoberfest issue for anyone interested in making their first contribution 🙂
If you've already switched this track to GHA, please feel free to close this issue and ignore it.
Thanks!
