How to wait for any action that finished in the past with given name and SHA

[gladykov]

Hi! Thank you @kamilchodola for sharing your work. As this was not enough for us, I took liberty to adjust it for our needs. Sharing here in case someone would like to reuse:

If you don't care about run id, and you want to take into account runs, which happened before current action was triggered, you can use this:

#!/bin/bash

# Set the maximum waiting time (in minutes) and initialize the counter
timeout="${TIMEOUT}"
interval="${INTERVAL}"
workflow_name="${WORKFLOW}"
repository_name="${REPOSITORY}"
sha="${SHA}"
counter=0

echo "ℹ️ Inputs:"
echo "ℹ️   Repository: ${repository_name}"
echo "ℹ️   Workflow file name: ${workflow_name}"
echo "ℹ️   Commit SHA: ${sha}"
echo "ℹ️   Timeout for the workflow to complete: ${timeout} minutes"
echo "ℹ️   Interval between checks: ${interval} seconds"

if [[ ! "$SHA" =~ ^[0-9a-f]{40}$ ]]; then
  echo "❌ Invalid commit SHA provided. Exiting."
  exit 1
fi

  while true; do

    response=$(gh run list --repo "${repository_name}" --commit="${sha}" --workflow="${workflow_name}" --status=success --json=status 2>gh_error.log | jq length)
    
    if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
      echo "❌ Error executing 'gh run list'. Check the error log below:"
      cat gh_error.log
      exit 1
    fi
    
    if [ "$response" != "0" ]; then
      echo "🎉 Workflow ${workflow_name} finished for ${sha}"
      break
    fi

    # Increment the counter and check if the maximum waiting time is reached
    counter=$((counter + 1))
    if [ $((counter * interval)) -ge $((timeout * 60)) ]; then
      echo "Maximum waiting time for the workflow to finish reached. Exiting."
      exit 1
    fi

    sleep "$interval"
  done
