Cache entries _written_ from jobs run on a non-default branch will be private
to other jobs for that branch. When development flow involves working on a
feature branch and then merging into 'main', these branch-private cache
entries can result in eviction of other (shared) cache entries generated
for the default branch.
With this change, we make the recommended setup the default, by running
with `cache-read-only: true` for any jobs run on a non-default branch.
These jobs will be able to read cache entries written from the main branch,
but will not write any cache entries.
Fixes#143
- Bump typescript from 4.7.2 to 4.7.3
- Bump ts-jest from 28.0.3 to 28.0.4
- Added @types/jest which is now required
- Bump eslint from 8.16.0 to 8.17.0
Using `settingsEvaluated` meant that the project root was not recorded
when the build was run with a config-cache hit. This meant that the subsequent
build would not restore the config-cache, resulting in a cache miss.
In order to avoid issues running the init script on older versions of Gradle
the project-collection is extracted into a separate groovy file that is only
applied conditionally on Gradle 7 or higher.
Various improvements to CI workflows
- Compose all integ-test workflow executions into a single calling workflow
- Added a 'quick-check' workflow that provides faster feedback on branches other than main
- Only runs on ubuntu-latest
- Reuses cache entries from previous runs
- Builds distribution outputs so that these don't need to be committed during everyday development
- Added a workflow for purging old workflow executions
Together with the fix for #293, these changes fix#291
The action requires the generated distribution to committed to the 'dist' directory.
During regular development this step causes a number of problems:
- It's easy to forget to add/commit these generated files.
- It's very difficult/impossible to merge/rebase commits that involve generated files
- These file add unnecessary bulk to the git history
With this change, the quick-check workflow will first build the distribution and then
use the generated output for testing. Building and committing these files will only be
required when merging into the 'main' branch.
- Workflow to run all integTest workflows, allowing use of prior cache entries
- Workflow that starts with empty cache
Both of these use workflow_call to combine the existing workflows.
