Trigger
If a workflow trigger is like that in A repo
on:
repository_dispatch:
types: [coverage-upload]
workflow_dispatch:
inputs:
coverage_artifiact_url:
description:
required:
type
repo_token:
...
In order to trigger it in B repo, first you need to set up Personal Access Token in Github and set it as github action secret WORKFLOW_PAT for repo B,then your account needs to be added as an member of A repo. Then in your repo workflow, you can trigger like below
run: |
payload=$(cat <<EOF
{
"event_type": "coverage_upload",
"client_payload": {
"coverage_artifact_url": $(jq -n --arg url "$" 'url'),
"repo_token": $(jq -n --arg url "$" 'token')
}
}
EOF
)
RESPONSE= $(curl -s -w "\n%{http_code}" -X POST \
-H "Authorization: token $" \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
"$/repos/telus/tech-health-dashboard/dispatches" \
-d "$payload")
HTTP_STATUS = $(echo "RESPONSE" | tail -n1)
BODY = $(echo "RESPONSE" | sed '$d')
if [["$HTTP_STATUS" == "2"*]]; then
echo "Success"
else
echo "Failure"
Note
When your trigger is workflow_run and the workflow is in your feature branch, it will not be working because this event will only trigger a workflow run if the workflow file exists on the default branch!!!
