Reusable workflow expansion is a capability that will allow Forgejo to schedule every job of a reusable workflow as a separate job, allowing the use of multiple runners and clear independent logging. This is a multi-PR implementation effort, project work tracking link: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/9768#issuecomment-8828016 This PR extends reusable workflow expansion to support `needs`. Three changes are involved: - The callee job which defines `uses: some-org/some-repo/...` may have a `needs` defined that indicates a pre-requisite to the reusable workflow. This `needs` definition is copied into the newly expanded jobs. - Jobs within a reusable workflow may have `needs` that reference each other. In order to clarify these job references, the job IDs are updated to a dot-qualified reference (eg. `parent-job-id.child-job-id`) so that the correct ordering is established even if multiple instances of the same reusable workflow exist. - The original callee job was originally removed from the expansion since there is no work to be done in that job. However, it's possible for a subsequent job to `need` the callee job for job-ordering and for output access. So, the original job is now retained but transformed into a no-op that waits for all child jobs to be completed. - A future tweak to more clearly identify that this is placeholder job may be required as the current Forgejo-side implementation is quite hacky, detecting that `if: false` was set on the job. In addition to test automation present here, this change has been manually tested on an [experimental Forgejo branch](https://codeberg.org/mfenniak/forgejo/pulls/3). <!--start release-notes-assistant--> <!--URL:https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner--> - features - [PR](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner/pulls/1215): <!--number 1215 --><!--line 0 --><!--description ZmVhdChqb2JwYXJzZXIpOiBwb3B1bGF0ZSAnbmVlZHMnIGluIHJldXNhYmxlIHdvcmtmbG93IGV4cGFuc2lvbg==-->feat(jobparser): populate 'needs' in reusable workflow expansion<!--description--> <!--end release-notes-assistant--> Reviewed-on: https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner/pulls/1215 Reviewed-by: limiting-factor <limiting-factor@noreply.code.forgejo.org> Reviewed-by: earl-warren <earl-warren@noreply.code.forgejo.org> Co-authored-by: Mathieu Fenniak <mathieu@fenniak.net> Co-committed-by: Mathieu Fenniak <mathieu@fenniak.net> |

Forgejo Runner
A daemon that connects to a Forgejo instance and runs jobs for continuous integration. The installation and usage instructions are part of the Forgejo documentation.
Reporting security-related issues
Sensitive security-related issues should be reported to security@forgejo.org using encryption.
License
The Forgejo runner is distributed under the terms of the GPL version 3.0 or any later version.
Architectures & OS
The Forgejo runner is supported and tested on amd64 and arm64 (binaries and containers) on Operating Systems based on the Linux kernel.
Work may be in progress for other architectures and you can browse the corresponding issues to figure out how they make progress. If you are interested in helping them move forward, open an issue. The most challenging part is to setup and maintain a native runner long term. Once it is supported by Forgejo, the runner is expected to be available 24/7 which can be challenging. Otherwise debugging any architecture specific problem won't be possible.
Hacking
The Forgejo runner is a dependency of the setup-forgejo action. See the full dependency graph for a global view.
Building
- Install Go and
make(1) make build
Linting
make lint-checkmake lint# will fix some lint errors
Testing
The workflow that runs in the CI uses similar commands.
Without a Forgejo instance
- Install Docker
make test integration-test
The TestRunner_RunEvent test suite contains most integration tests
with real-world workflows and is time-consuming to run. During
development, it is helpful to run a specific test through a targeted
command such as this:
go test -count=1 -run='TestRunner_RunEvent$/local-action-dockerfile$' ./act/runner
With a Forgejo instance
- Run a Forgejo instance locally (for instance at http://0.0.0.0:8080) and create as shared secret
export FORGEJO_RUNNER_SECRET='AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA'
export FORGEJO_URL=http://0.0.0.0:8080
forgejo forgejo-cli actions register --labels docker --name therunner --secret $FORGEJO_RUNNER_SECRET
make test integration-test# which will run addional tests because FORGEJO_URL is set
end-to-end
- Follow the instructions from the end-to-end tests to run actions tests locally.
