Trigger Spinnaker pipelines from Actions

Include ExpediaGroup/spinnaker-pipeline-trigger as final step in workflow to trigger Spinnaker.

steps:
  - name: Spinnaker
    uses: ExpediaGroup/spinnaker-pipeline-trigger@v1
    with:
      topic_arn: ${{ secrets.SPINNAKER_TOPIC_ARN }}

Configure the pipeline trigger as below, entering your org/repo in the repository key:

The action sends the following information in the payload:

• repository: The owner and repository name. For example, octocat/Hello-World.
• commit: The commit SHA that triggered the workflow. For example, ffac537e6cbbf934b08745a378932722df287a53.
• ref: The branch or tag ref that triggered the workflow. For example, refs/heads/feature-branch-1. If neither a branch or tag is available for the event type, the variable will not exist.
• githubEventName: The name of the webhook event that triggered the workflow.
• githubActor: The name of the person or app that initiated the workflow. For example, octocat.
• githubAction: Always set to true when GitHub Actions is running the workflow. You can use this variable to differentiate when tests are being run locally or by GitHub Actions.

To pass additional parameters to the pipeline execution context, include the parameters input. Each key/value pair will be passed to Spinnaker and can be used in pipeline steps.

steps:
  - name: Spinnaker
    uses: ExpediaGroup/spinnaker-pipeline-trigger@v1
    with:
      topic_arn: ${{ secrets.SPINNAKER_TOPIC_ARN }}
      parameters: |
        parameter1: value1

Parameters are automatically added to Parameters of the pipeline. There is no need to define them separately.

This action uses SNS to send the message to Spinnaker. Permissions and configuraiton are needed for the runner and Spinnaker.

The runner requires sns:Publish permissions. If using a public runner, something like configure-aws-credentials can be used.

Follow Spinnaker's directions for setting up a topic and queue with the following modifications.

• Do not set up the S3 notification
• messageFormat should be CUSTOM
• Include the template below with the echo portion of the config.

Sample message format based on the default parameters being sent:

[
  {
    "reference": "{{ reference }}",
    "repository": "{{ repository }}",
    "commit": "{{ commit }}",
    "ref": "{{ ref }}",
    "githubEventName": "{{ githubEventName }}",
    "githubActor": "{{ githubActor }}",
    "githubAction": "{{ githubAction }}"
  }
]

• Run yarn all locally before committing.
• Coverage limits are set at 90%.
• Follow semantic-release commit formatting.
