cd /Users/sjrj/Platform/retain-artifacts
# 1. Initialize git repository
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial retain-artifacts action
- Complete GitHub Action for artifact retention
- Immutable releases assessment capability
- Comprehensive testing suite
- Production-ready documentation"
# 2. Create GitHub repository: innersource-nn/retain-artifacts
# 3. Push to GitHub
git remote add origin https://github.com/innersource-nn/retain-artifacts.git
git branch -M main
git push -u origin main# 4. Run basic test workflow
gh workflow run test-action.yml -f test_scenario=basic
# 5. Monitor results
gh run list --workflow=test-action.yml
gh run view --log # Get the latest run
# 6. Check created releases
gh release list# 7. Test in QMS pipeline
cd /Users/sjrj/Platform/qms-reference
# 8. Create release branch to trigger pipeline
git checkout -b release/test-retain-artifacts-$(date +%Y%m%d)
git push origin release/test-retain-artifacts-$(date +%Y%m%d)
# 9. Create PR to trigger full QMS pipeline
gh pr create --title "Test retain-artifacts integration" \
--body "Testing the new innersource-nn/retain-artifacts@main action in QMS pipeline"-
Basic Test:
gh workflow run test-action.yml -f test_scenario=basic- Tests with 3 small artifacts
- Validates core functionality
-
Large Artifacts Test:
gh workflow run test-action.yml -f test_scenario=large-artifacts- Tests with larger files (5MB+)
- Validates performance
-
No Artifacts Test:
gh workflow run test-action.yml -f test_scenario=no-artifacts- Tests graceful handling of zero artifacts
- Validates error handling
- Full QMS Test: Release branch in qms-reference
- Tests real-world integration
- Validates compliance workflow
After each test run, check:
-
✅ GitHub Release Created
- Go to repository → Releases
- Verify release exists with correct name
- Check release notes format and content
-
✅ Artifacts Attached
- Verify all expected artifacts are attached as ZIP files
- Download and verify artifact contents
-
✅ Action Outputs
- Check workflow summary for action outputs
- Verify
artifacts_count,release_url,immutable_releases_enabled
-
✅ Immutable Release Assessment
- Verify assessment appears in release notes
- Check assessment level (
likely,supported,unsupported)
If tests fail, check:
- Permissions: Workflow has
contents: write,actions: read,metadata: read - Token:
GITHUB_TOKENis available and has correct scopes - Artifacts: Previous jobs actually uploaded artifacts
- Logs: Use
gh run view --logfor detailed error messages
✅ Release Creation Summary
- Release Tag: pipeline-123456789-20241128-143022
- Release Name: Test Release - basic - 123456789
- Release URL: https://github.com/innersource-nn/retain-artifacts/releases/tag/pipeline-123456789-20241128-143022
- Artifacts Count: 3
- Immutable Releases: likely
✅ Release created successfully with all pipeline artifacts retained!
- Rich description with pipeline metadata
- All test artifacts as downloadable ZIP files
- Immutable releases assessment
- Links back to workflow run and commit
The action is working correctly when:
- ✅ Releases are created automatically
- ✅ All artifacts are attached and downloadable
- ✅ Release metadata is comprehensive and accurate
- ✅ Immutable releases assessment is present
- ✅ No errors in workflow logs
- ✅ QMS pipeline integration works smoothly
All components are ready. Start with Phase 1 above to begin testing!
