Test Audit

This action sets up Maven environments for use in GitHub Actions by:

  • create maven settings.xml
  • set interactiveMode to false - useful in CI system
  • after job finish generated settings.xml will be removed to prevent cache or left sensitive data on build system
  • add server to servers with id=github, username=$GITHUB_ACTOR and password=$GITHUB_TOKEN

GitHub actions secrets

It is also possible pass in Github Secrets e.g.

steps:
- uses: s4u/maven-settings-action@v3.1.0
  with:
    servers: |
      [{
          "id": "sonatype-nexus-snapshots",
          "username": "${{ secrets.SONATYPE_USERNAME }}",
          "password": "${{ secrets.SONATYPE_PASSWORD }}"
      }]

Note: secrets are not passed in if the workflow is triggered from a forked repository. See here for further information. This can be avoided by using if triggers on the job e.g. if: github.event_name == 'push'.

Notes

maven-settings-action should be put at the latest position before maven run in order to avoid override setting.xml by another action

  steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - uses: actions/cache@v2
        with:
          path: ~/.m2/repository
          key: maven-${{ hashFiles('**/pom.xml') }}
          restore-keys: maven-

      - uses: actions/setup-java@v1
        with:
          java-version: 8

      - uses: s4u/maven-settings-action@v3.1.0

      - run: mvn verify
