Convert all publiclab repositories' automated tests/checks from TravisCI to GitHub Actions

[jywarren]

Multi-repository coordinating issue:

starting in #8793, we developed a plan to move all PL repositories from Travis CI to GitHub Actions, and have made a lot of progress. But there are many repositories still to go, so we are coordinating here.

If you'd like to try, unfortunately the PR must be created by a maintainer (for security purposes) but we'd love help as far as it's possible.

Try looking in the "DONE" section for examples of successful conversions of projects with similar architecture!

NOTE: the PR has to be opened from within the main fork, not from for example jywarren/gh-actions. See publiclab/infragram#157

Badges

The new badge is in the format: https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/workflows/tests/badge.svg?branch=main

To get them running on the main branch, publiclab/PublicLab.Editor#740 may be needed

And we can link it to: https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/actions (or another more specific one like https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/actions/workflows/tests.yml?query=branch%3Amain ? I can't find a route showing just those tests run on the publiclab/plots2 main branch though...

@jywarren I'd like to work on this

Hi all - thank you for your support! I'm currently working on this in publiclab/spectral-workbench#647 (my top priority) and in publiclab/mapknitter#1489 (2nd priority). I've made progress on the first but slowly trying to eliminate remaining errors, reading the log carefully each time. Any input/help/tips/support appreciated!!!

Hello @jywarren, @govindgoel, and everyone else!
Today I'm officially joining the GitHub Actions Migrations Task Force (or GAMTF) 🚣🏽‍♀️ (yes I invented the name myself)

Given the list above, what do you think is the best one to start?
My first thought is to go with the smaller repositories first (i.e: webjack?), but I'm open to suggestions.

Thank you all and have a wonderful week.

Hi Alicia!!!!! Welcome!!! I'm so sorry I missed this as my notifications are quite narrowly tuned (you could imagine how many i get across all PL projects) - my sincere apologies. I've reached out on Gitter as well.

I think trying a smaller repository first to get the hang of it is a great idea. Then, taking them in order perhaps - i've ordered them with top = highest priority. And, I'll add your name to my notification filters! Thanks!!! May you have a wonderful week as well!

[jywarren]

This list is looking great! Excellent work, @aliciapaz!!

I'm also noting we will have to go back and add correct "CI passing" badges which I noticed in https://github.com/publiclab/image-sequencer#image-sequencer (still has the old Travis badge).

The new badge is: https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/workflows/tests/badge.svg?branch=main

And we can link it to: https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/actions (or another more specific one like https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/actions/workflows/tests.yml?query=branch%3Amain ? I can't find a route showing just those tests run on the publiclab/plots2 main branch though...
