Repository files navigation

The rationale for this action is thatDependabot cannotupdate the go version that is defined in ago.mod file.

1. To use this action, ensure that:Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve pull requests option has beenenabled in the action settings. In order to find this, attach:/settings/actions to the project URL, i.e.:https://github.com/<owner>/<project-name>/settings/actions.
2. Once the setting has been enabled, create a~/.github/workflows/gomod-go-version-updater.yml file with the followingcontent:

   ---name:gomod-go-version-updater-action"on":schedule:    -cron:"42 6 * * *"permissions:contents:writepull-requests:writejobs:gomod-go-version-updater-action:runs-on:ubuntu-22.04steps:      -uses:030/gomod-go-version-updater-action@v0.1.6

3. To ensure that an action is triggered for testing the Golang version update,add apull_request_review trigger. This will cause a specific WorkflowAction to run whenever someone submits a review for the pull request createdby thegomod-go-version-updater-action:

   "on":# required by gomod-go-version-updater to trigger this action once pr has# been reviewedpull_request_review:types:[submitted]

4. Optional: if private go modules have to be downloaded:

   -uses:030/gomod-go-version-updater-action@v0.1.6with:github-token-for-downloading-private-go-modules:${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

5. Optional: set the log level toDEBUG,WARNING,ERROR orCRITICAL(default: INFO):

   -uses:030/gomod-go-version-updater-action@v0.1.6with:gomod-go-version-updater-action-log-level:DEBUG

6. Optional: add an extra label to the PR that will be created:

   -uses:030/gomod-go-version-updater-action@v0.1.6with:extra-pr-label:something

If you want to develop on this action, you'll probably want to use a virtual environment. Feel free to arrange that in any way you want, but it could be as simple as running

python3-mvenv .venv

Don't forget to activate the virtual environment next:

source .venv/bin/activate

To install the dependencies to work on the project, you can usepip:

pip install'.[dev]'

To run the test suite run:

pytest

Besides the test suite we run withpytest (see above) we run a more extensive set as part of quality control. See the run steps that are defined inthis GitHub Workflow for details.
