Users are experiencing issues where make lint
runs successfully in a local environment but fails during the linting step in the GitHub Actions workflow.
To resolve the discrepancies between local linting and GitHub Actions, users should update their workflow configuration to match the workflow.yml
file provided in the "Lab Flask TDD Workflow." Additionally, they have two options for addressing the linting step.
Detailed Explanation:
Understanding the Problem:
- Differences between local and CI/CD environments can cause inconsistencies in test results.
- The GitHub Actions environment must be configured to mirror the local setup as closely as possible.
- The
make lint
command must be standardized across environments to ensure that it uses the same parameters and dependencies.
Step-by-Step Solution:
- Update GitHub Actions Workflow:
- Ensure that the
.github/workflows/workflow.yml
file is consistent with the one provided in the "Lab Flask TDD Workflow." - The workflow file should define the same environment and steps as used locally.
- Ensure that the
- Option 1 - Update
workflow.yml
:-
Locate line 67 in the
workflow.yml
file and replace it with:yamlCopy code green -vvv --processes=1 --run-coverage --termcolor --minimum-coverage=95
-
This ensures that the GitHub Actions workflow uses the same linting command as the local environment.
-
- Option 2 - Update
requirements.txt
:-
Include
pytest
and related packages in therequirements.txt
file to match the local testing dependencies:# Testing dependencies pytest==7.4.0 pytest-pspec==0.0.4 pytest-cov==4.1.0
-
By doing so, you ensure that all necessary testing libraries are available in the GitHub Actions environment.
-
- Modify the Makefile:
-
If opting for the second solution, update line 37 in the
Makefile
to usepytest
instead of the existing command:pytest --pspec --cov=service --cov-fail-under=95
-
This change aligns the local linting command with the one used in GitHub Actions, ensuring consistency.
-
- Re-run GitHub Actions:
- Commit and push the changes to trigger the GitHub Actions workflow.
- Monitor the Actions tab in the GitHub repository to ensure that the linting step passes successfully.
