🎉 You've created this issue comment using GitHub Script!!!

from write-github-script.

Let's improve the workflow

@kirillperesh it looks like you workflow has completed! Let's take a look at the results!

We should be pretty familiar with the first portion of the workflow, it's the same as the first time it ran, and it just creates a comment whenever a new issue has been created.

The second portion may exactly be clear to you, but this issue was added to a project board that is present in this repository. Checkout the projects tab if you want to see that this issue has been added!

Multiple steps

One benefit of using actions is the ability to separate jobs into smaller units of work called steps. If we think about what our workflow is doing we can see that it makes more sense to have these two tasks take place across two steps.

As an added advantage, once we break the current workflow into multiple steps we can apply logic through expressions to them. This will let us create rules around when steps are allowed to run. Ultimately this allows us to optimize our workflow run!

Since GitHub Script is simply an action, breaking each unique task into a new step works just fine! We will do this in our next activity!

Add steps for each action

We will make the following changes to the current workflow file:

• Name each step so we can easily keep track of it in the actions tab
• Use expressions to determine if a step should execute

⌨️ Activity: Add newly opened issue to project board

1. Edit the current workflow .github/workflows/my-workflow.yml to have the following contents:

   name: Learning GitHub Script
   
   on:
     issues:
       types: [opened]
   
   jobs:
     comment:
       runs-on: ubuntu-latest
       steps:
       - name: Comment on new issue
         uses: actions/[email protected]
         with:
           github-token: ${{secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}}
           script: |
               github.issues.createComment({
               issue_number: context.issue.number,
               owner: context.repo.owner,
               repo: context.repo.repo,
               body: "🎉 You've created this issue comment using GitHub Script!!!"
               })
   
       - name: Add issue to project board
         if: contains(github.event.issue.labels.*.name, 'bug')
         uses: actions/[email protected]
         with:
           github-token: ${{secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}}
           script: |
               github.projects.createCard({
               column_id: 12524419,
               content_id: context.payload.issue.id,
               content_type: "Issue"
               });
   

2. Commit the workflow to a new branch.

3. Create a pull request, I suggest the title Create better comments.

4. Supply the pull request body content and click Create pull request.

I am waiting for you to create a new pull request before moving on.

I'll respond in the pull request you create
