Github CI Cross Repo Build
I have created a demo project showing the usage of the cross repo build of Github CI:
In its workflow file, it contains the job like this:
jobs:
wildfly-build:
uses: wildfly/wildfly/.github/workflows/shared-wildfly-build.yml@main
with:
wildfly-branch: "main"
wildfly-repo: "wildfly/wildfly"
It will refer to the build file in:
The above build process can produce a wildfly-maven-repository.tar.gz file:
- name: Archive the repository
run: |
cd ~
find ./.m2/repository -type d -name "*SNAPSHOT" -print0 | xargs -0 tar -czf ~/wildfly-maven-repository.tar.gz
- uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
with:
name: wildfly-maven-repository
path: ~/wildfly-maven-repository.tar.gz
retention-days: 5
The build process of the WildFly repo will stay in the demo project side, and here is the build process:
And in the demo project build job it needs the output of the wildfly-build job, which is wildfly-maven-repository.tar.gz, and then it will download and extract the tar.gz file:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
needs: wildfly-build
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: actions/download-artifact@v4
with:
name: wildfly-maven-repository
path: .
- name: Extract Maven Repo
shell: bash
run: tar -xzf wildfly-maven-repository.tar.gz -C ~
You can see more usages of the feature here:
Note: It needs download-artifact to be upgraded into v4:
