Python CI Workflow Documentation

This documentation provides an overview of the Python CI workflow implemented using GitHub Actions.

Workflow Overview

The Python CI workflow is triggered by two events: pushes to the main branch and pull requests targeting the main branch. It consists of a single job named build, which runs on an ubuntu-latest environment.

Steps

The following steps are executed as part of the workflow:

1. Checkout code

   • Name: Checkout code
   • Uses: actions/checkout@v2
   • Description: This step checks out the repository code onto the runner.

2. Setup Python

   • Name: Setup Python
   • Uses: actions/setup-python@v2
   • Description: This step sets up the Python environment for subsequent steps. The Python version used is 3.8.

3. Install dependencies

   • Name: Install dependencies
   • Run: pip install -r requirements.txt
   • Description: This step installs the project dependencies by running pip install with the requirements specified in the requirements.txt file.

4. Run tests

   • Name: Run tests
   • Run: pytest tests
   • Description: This step executes the test suite by running the pytest command with the tests directory.

Workflow Definition

The workflow is defined using the pyactions Python package. The workflow definition code is as follows:

from datetime import datetime
from pyciactions.github import Step, Job, On, Workflow, BranchEvent
from pyciactions import generate
import yaml

# Define 'on' conditions
on_push_main = On(push=BranchEvent(branches=["main"]))
on_pull_request_main = On(pull_request=BranchEvent(branches=["main"]))

# Define steps
checkout_code = Step(name="Checkout code",
                     uses="actions/checkout@v2")

setup_python = Step(name="Setup Python",
                    uses="actions/setup-python@v2",
                    with_={"python-version": "3.8"})

install_deps = Step(name="Install dependencies",
                    run="pip install -r requirements.txt")

run_tests = Step(name="Run tests",
                 run="pytest tests")

# Define job
job = Job("build",
          runs_on="ubuntu-latest",
          steps=[checkout_code, setup_python, install_deps, run_tests])

# Define workflow
workflow = Workflow(name="Python CI",
                    on=[on_push_main, on_pull_request_main],
                    jobs=[job])

# Generate workflow file
generate(workflow, ".github/workflows/python_ci.yml")

The generated workflow file, python_ci.yml, can be found in the .github/workflows directory of the repository.
