Testing your build in a GitHub Pull Request
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
If you want to test your build in a pull request before deploying to GitHub, your workflow might look something like this:
.. code-block:: yaml
name: Build and Deploy Site
on:
push:
branches: ["main"]
pull_request:
branches: ["main"]
workflow_dispatch:
inputs:
deploy:
required: false
default: true
description: "Whether to deploy the site. If checked then build the site and deploy it. If not checked then just test that the site builds successfully but don't deploy anything."
type: boolean
jobs:
deploy:
uses: "getpelican/pelican/.github/workflows/github_pages.yml@main"
permissions:
id-token: write
contents: read
pages: write
with:
settings: "publishconf.py"
requirements: "-r requirements.txt"
deploy: ${{ (github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch' && inputs.deploy == true) || (github.event_name == 'push' && github.ref_type == 'branch' && github.ref_name == github.event.repository.default_branch) }}
The ``on`` section of the workflow defines the events that will trigger the workflow. In this example, the workflow will run on pushes to the main branch, pull requests to the main branch, and manual runs of the workflow.
``workflow_dispatch`` defines the deploy boolean to be true by default. This means that if you run the workflow manually, it will deploy the site.
The ``deploy`` input for the job is using a set of standard github workflow variables to control when deploy will either be true or false (you can customize this to your needs).
In this example, the deploy will be true if the event is a push to the main branch (or merging into main from a PR) or a manual run of the workflow. If the event is a pull request, the deploy will be false and it will only build an artifact for the site.
