GitHub Actions

[Giovanni Tirloni]

Hello,

It seems GitHub Actions is working as expected.

With that in mind, I'd like to disable Jenkins for the two Fluid repos that have builds enabled: Infusion and Kettle.

Please let me know if there are any concerns.

Regards,
Giovanni

Hello,

We're running an experiment to see if GitHub Actions [0] is a good replacement for our current Jenkins-based CI system.

I've enabled Actions in the fluid-project/infusion repository today. Every new PR (and updates to old PRs) and commits to the master branch will trigger CI builds in both GitHub Actions and Jenkins. We'll run them in parallel for a while to collect usage data.

The GitHub Actions workflow has a few benefits for us:

  *   GitHub-owned runners so we don't need to worry about maintaining our own servers
  *   Configuration As Code: the CI configuration lives in the repository and can be modified with PRs
  *   Better integration with the GitHub UI

We'll be trying more customizations in the near future but for now the GitHub Actions workflow in the Infusion repository more or less mimics the actions of the Jenkins-based pipeline configuration in the fluid-project/ci-service repository. For example, it doesn't yet publish a new Infusion build when commits are made to the master branch, that's coming next as it requires changes to how we do deployments.

If you notice any issues or have any feedback, please feel free to reach out. If we have a good experience with Actions, we'll add it to more repositories.
