Workflow Tests

Repo for testing workflows when using releases

From github documentation > https://help.github.com/pt/actions/reference/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions

on.<event_name>.types

Selects the types of activity that will trigger a workflow run. Most GitHub events are triggered by more than one type of activity. For example, the event for the release resource is triggered when a release is published, unpublished, created, edited, deleted, released or prereleased. The types keyword enables you to narrow down activity that causes the workflow to run. When only one activity type triggers a webhook event, the types keyword is unnecessary.

How to use to emulate CD to different environments

Using Trunk Based Development (TBD)

• Each check-in on the master branch will deploy to development environment
• Create a release checking the checkbox This is a pre-release will deploy to qa/homologation environment
• Edit that release uncheck This is a pre-release and publish will deploy to production environment

Using Git Flow

Here it could exists some variations, but you don`t need to use the Release because the trigger of the workflow will be the merge/pull request to the branch

• Branch Develop will be deploy to development environment
• Merge to Release, or create a will deploy to qa/homologation environment
• Merge to Master will deploy to production

Downsides

• If you need approval between environments using TBD the best approach is to use release branch with a Pull Request approval
• If you are using releases to deploy you need to be sure which commit should be on that package before creating a release
