Configuring Test OS

Overview

By default the CI will perform tests using latest Fedora version. Sometimes it’s necessary to test against a different Fedora version. This can be done by creating a GitHub secret called BASE64_OS to store the base64-encoded value of the Fedora version. To reset the test OS simply remove the secret.

Configuring Test OS

For example, to test against Fedora Rawhide, execute the following command:

$ echo -n "rawhide" | base64
cmF3aGlkZQ==

Then create the secret:

• Go to Settings → Secrets.

• Click New repository secret.

• Enter BASE64_OS as the secret name.

• Enter the base64-encoded value as the secret value.

• Click Add secret

Before Testing

It is a good idea to delete any caches that may exist in your repo before starting:

• Go to Actions → Click Caches in the left menu.

• Delete caches as appropriate.

Resetting Test OS

To reset the test OS, remove the secret:

• Go to Settings → Secrets.

• Click Remove next to BASE64_OS.

• Click Yes, remove this secret.
