# Carpentries Workflows | ||
|
||
This directory contains workflows to be used for Lessons using the {sandpaper} | ||
lesson infrastructure. Two of these workflows require R (`sandpaper-main.yaml` | ||
and `pr-recieve.yaml`) and the rest are bots to handle pull request management. | ||
|
||
These workflows will likely change as {sandpaper} evolves, so it is important to | ||
keep them up-to-date. To do this in your lesson you can do the following in your | ||
R console: | ||
|
||
```r | ||
# Install/Update sandpaper | ||
options(repos = c(carpentries = "https://carpentries.r-universe.dev/", | ||
CRAN = "https://cloud.r-project.org")) | ||
install.packages("sandpaper") | ||
|
||
# update the workflows in your lesson | ||
library("sandpaper") | ||
update_github_workflows() | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Inside this folder, you will find a file called `sandpaper-version.txt`, which | ||
will contain a version number for sandpaper. This will be used in the future to | ||
alert you if a workflow update is needed. | ||
|
||
What follows are the descriptions of the workflow files: | ||
|
||
## Deployment | ||
|
||
### 01 Build and Deploy (sandpaper-main.yaml) | ||
|
||
This is the main driver that will only act on the main branch of the repository. | ||
This workflow does the following: | ||
|
||
1. checks out the lesson | ||
2. provisions the following resources | ||
- R | ||
- pandoc | ||
- lesson infrastructure (stored in a cache) | ||
- lesson dependencies if needed (stored in a cache) | ||
3. builds the lesson via `sandpaper:::ci_deploy()` | ||
|
||
#### Caching | ||
|
||
This workflow has two caches; one cache is for the lesson infrastructure and | ||
the other is for the the lesson dependencies if the lesson contains rendered | ||
content. These caches are invalidated by new versions of the infrastructure and | ||
the `renv.lock` file, respectively. If there is a problem with the cache, | ||
manual invaliation is necessary. You will need maintain access to the repository | ||
and you can either go to the actions tab and [click on the caches button to find | ||
and invalidate the failing cache](https://github.blog/changelog/2022-10-20-manage-caches-in-your-actions-workflows-from-web-interface/) | ||
or by setting the `CACHE_VERSION` secret to the current date (which will | ||
invalidate all of the caches). | ||
|
||
## Updates | ||
|
||
### Setup Information | ||
|
||
These workflows run on a schedule and at the maintainer's request. Because they | ||
create pull requests that update workflows/require the downstream actions to run, | ||
they need a special repository/organization secret token called | ||
`SANDPAPER_WORKFLOW` and it must have the `public_repo` and `workflow` scope. | ||
|
||
This can be an individual user token, OR it can be a trusted bot account. If you | ||
have a repository in one of the official Carpentries accounts, then you do not | ||
need to worry about this token being present because the Carpentries Core Team | ||
will take care of supplying this token. | ||
|
||
If you want to use your personal account: you can go to | ||
<https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?scopes=public_repo,workflow&description=Sandpaper%20Token> | ||
to create a token. Once you have created your token, you should copy it to your | ||
clipboard and then go to your repository's settings > secrets > actions and | ||
create or edit the `SANDPAPER_WORKFLOW` secret, pasting in the generated token. | ||
|
||
If you do not specify your token correctly, the runs will not fail and they will | ||
give you instructions to provide the token for your repository. | ||
|
||
### 02 Maintain: Update Workflow Files (update-workflow.yaml) | ||
|
||
The {sandpaper} repository was designed to do as much as possible to separate | ||
the tools from the content. For local builds, this is absolutely true, but | ||
there is a minor issue when it comes to workflow files: they must live inside | ||
the repository. | ||
|
||
This workflow ensures that the workflow files are up-to-date. The way it work is | ||
to download the update-workflows.sh script from GitHub and run it. The script | ||
will do the following: | ||
|
||
1. check the recorded version of sandpaper against the current version on github | ||
2. update the files if there is a difference in versions | ||
|
||
After the files are updated, if there are any changes, they are pushed to a | ||
branch called `update/workflows` and a pull request is created. Maintainers are | ||
encouraged to review the changes and accept the pull request if the outputs | ||
are okay. | ||
|
||
This update is run ~~weekly or~~ on demand. | ||
|
||
### 03 Maintain: Update Pacakge Cache (update-cache.yaml) | ||
|
||
For lessons that have generated content, we use {renv} to ensure that the output | ||
is stable. This is controlled by a single lockfile which documents the packages | ||
needed for the lesson and the version numbers. This workflow is skipped in | ||
lessons that do not have generated content. | ||
|
||
Because the lessons need to remain current with the package ecosystem, it's a | ||
good idea to make sure these packages can be updated periodically. The | ||
update cache workflow will do this by checking for updates, applying them in a | ||
branch called `updates/packages` and creating a pull request with _only the | ||
lockfile changed_. | ||
|
||
From here, the markdown documents will be rebuilt and you can inspect what has | ||
changed based on how the packages have updated. | ||
|
||
## Pull Request and Review Management | ||
|
||
Because our lessons execute code, pull requests are a secruity risk for any | ||
lesson and thus have security measures associted with them. **Do not merge any | ||
pull requests that do not pass checks and do not have bots commented on them.** | ||
|
||
This series of workflows all go together and are described in the following | ||
diagram and the below sections: | ||
|
||
![Graph representation of a pull request](https://carpentries.github.io/sandpaper/articles/img/pr-flow.dot.svg) | ||
|
||
### Pre Flight Pull Request Validation (pr-preflight.yaml) | ||
|
||
This workflow runs every time a pull request is created and its purpose is to | ||
validate that the pull request is okay to run. This means the following things: | ||
|
||
1. The pull request does not contain modified workflow files | ||
2. If the pull request contains modified workflow files, it does not contain | ||
modified content files (such as a situation where @carpentries-bot will | ||
make an automated pull request) | ||
3. The pull request does not contain an invalid commit hash (e.g. from a fork | ||
that was made before a lesson was transitioned from styles to use the | ||
workbench). | ||
|
||
Once the checks are finished, a comment is issued to the pull request, which | ||
will allow maintainers to determine if it is safe to run the | ||
"Receive Pull Request" workflow from new contributors. | ||
|
||
### Recieve Pull Request (pr-recieve.yaml) | ||
|
||
**Note of caution:** This workflow runs arbitrary code by anyone who creates a | ||
pull request. GitHub has safeguarded the token used in this workflow to have no | ||
priviledges in the repository, but we have taken precautions to protect against | ||
spoofing. | ||
|
||
This workflow is triggered with every push to a pull request. If this workflow | ||
is already running and a new push is sent to the pull request, the workflow | ||
running from the previous push will be cancelled and a new workflow run will be | ||
started. | ||
|
||
The first step of this workflow is to check if it is valid (e.g. that no | ||
workflow files have been modified). If there are workflow files that have been | ||
modified, a comment is made that indicates that the workflow is not run. If | ||
both a workflow file and lesson content is modified, an error will occurr. | ||
|
||
The second step (if valid) is to build the generated content from the pull | ||
request. This builds the content and uploads three artifacts: | ||
|
||
1. The pull request number (pr) | ||
2. A summary of changes after the rendering process (diff) | ||
3. The rendered files (build) | ||
|
||
Because this workflow builds generated content, it follows the same general | ||
process as the `sandpaper-main` workflow with the same caching mechanisms. | ||
|
||
The artifacts produced are used by the next workflow. | ||
|
||
### Comment on Pull Request (pr-comment.yaml) | ||
|
||
This workflow is triggered if the `pr-recieve.yaml` workflow is successful. | ||
The steps in this workflow are: | ||
|
||
1. Test if the workflow is valid and comment the validity of the workflow to the | ||
pull request. | ||
2. If it is valid: create an orphan branch with two commits: the current state | ||
of the repository and the proposed changes. | ||
3. If it is valid: update the pull request comment with the summary of changes | ||
|
||
Importantly: if the pull request is invalid, the branch is not created so any | ||
malicious code is not published. | ||
|
||
From here, the maintainer can request changes from the author and eventually | ||
either merge or reject the PR. When this happens, if the PR was valid, the | ||
preview branch needs to be deleted. | ||
|
||
### Send Close PR Signal (pr-close-signal.yaml) | ||
|
||
Triggered any time a pull request is closed. This emits an artifact that is the | ||
pull request number for the next action | ||
|
||
### Remove Pull Request Branch (pr-post-remove-branch.yaml) | ||
|
||
Tiggered by `pr-close-signal.yaml`. This removes the temporary branch associated with | ||
the pull request (if it was created). |
