GitHub Script with GitHub Actions Automating Workflows

[#1]

Hello folks,

This is a series of articles where I explain GitHub Script with GitHub Actions and how you can automate publishing data on Atlassian & GitHub Platform based on the results of Workflow.

For example, let us have look at sample workflow.

If the Build is successful, github-actions bot will comment success and if fails it will comment failure.

YAML File under .github/workflows directory in GitHub Repository

name: CI Workflow

on:
  pull_request:
    branches: [ main ]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout Repository
         uses: actions/checkout@v2

     - name: Get Pull Request ID
        run: |
          export PR_NUMBER=$(echo $GITHUB_REF | awk 'BEGIN { FS = "/" } ; { print $3 }')
          echo "pr_num=$PR_NUMBER" >> $GITHUB_ENV

     - name: Add Comment to Pull Request if Success
        if: ${{ success() }}
        uses: actions/github-script@v5
        with:
          script: |
            await github.rest.issues.createComment({
            owner: context.repo.owner, 
            repo: context.repo.repo, 
            issue_number: ${{ env.pr_num }},
            body: 'Its Success'
            });

     - name: Add Comment to Pull Request if Failure
        if: ${{ failure() }}
        uses: actions/github-script@v5
        with:
        script: |
          await github.rest.issues.createComment({
          owner: context.repo.owner, 
          repo: context.repo.repo, 
          issue_number: ${{ env.pr_num }},
          body: 'Its Failure'
          });

This example will get you started with Automations that can be carried out with GitHub Actions and Jira Platform for seamless integration between the applications.
