SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Validate GitHub Actions workflows before deployment to prevent CI failures by catching cache misconfigurations, path issues, and monorepo build order problems.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pre-Push Validation: Ensure workflows are syntactically correct, linted, and free of common misconfigurations.
  • Cache Configuration: Enforce explicit cache-dependency-path usage and proper cache settings.
  • Monorepo Build Order: Validate workspace build sequencing to ensure dependencies are available before type checking.
  • Service Container Setup: Verify service container configurations and startup sequencing.
  • Local Testing: Allow local experimentation with act for debugging before pushing.

Quick Start

Run the full validation suite locally before pushing changes to catch common workflow failures.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate GitHub Actions workflows before pushing to prevent CI failures?

Validate GitHub Actions workflows before pushing by running a full validation suite locally to catch cache misconfigurations, path issues, and monorepo build order problems. This ensures workflows are syntactically correct and free of common misconfigurations.

What is the best way to test GitHub Actions service container setup and monorepo build order?

Testing service container setup and monorepo build order involves verifying service container configurations and validating workspace build sequencing to ensure dependencies are available before type checking operations execute.

Can I use act for local debugging of GitHub Actions workflows before deployment?

Yes, you can use act for local experimentation and debugging of GitHub Actions workflows before pushing changes. This allows you to test workflows locally to catch common failures prior to deployment.

Why does yamllint and actionlint fail to catch monorepo build sequence issues in CI?

Yamllint and actionlint focus on syntax and standard action definitions, but validating monorepo build sequence issues requires enforcing that workspace builds precede type checks and verifying explicit cache-dependency-path usage.

How do I enforce explicit cache-dependency-path usage in GitHub Actions workflows?

Enforcing explicit cache-dependency-path usage in GitHub Actions workflows involves validating cache configurations to prevent cache misconfigurations and ensure proper cache settings are applied before deployment.
