last-successful-build-action

This action searches for the last successful workflow-run for the given workflow-name and branch. The sha of the workflow-commit is set as output-parameter. If no matching workflow exists, the sha of the current run is emitted.

Lit-Protocol fork

The only change in this fork is the ability to do this for another repo, instead of the current one the action is running in.

Usage

- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- name: Find matching workflow
  uses: SamhammerAG/last-successful-build-action@v4
  with:
    token: "${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}"
    branch: "development"
    workflow: "build"

Verifying workflow run SHAs

If your workflow runs are expected to contain no-longer existing commit SHAs (e.g. when squashing and force pushing) you need to verify the SHA of the workflow run commit against the list of commit SHAs in your repository.

- uses: actions/checkout@v3
  with:
    fetch-depth: 0 # check out the entire repo history for SHA verification
- name: Find matching workflow
  uses: SamhammerAG/last-successful-build-action@v4
  with:
    branch: "development"
    workflow: "build"
    verify: true
