(I'm not sure if DRIVERS is the appropriate JIRA, but raising here as a starter.) SummaryGithub has launched Github Actions which is rapidly becoming the #1 CI platform for open source, replacing Travis CI and many others. Github Actions introduces the concept of "Marketplace Actions" in which you can perform a pre-test setup, such as initializing your database. It would be great if MongoDB supported an official, open source GH Action. Currently people seem to be using this one: https://github.com/supercharge/mongodb-github-action As one example, Ruby is providing official Ruby actions here: https://github.com/ruby/setup-ruby Requirements The action should support env variables to configure:
In addition, it should work on various Linux, Windows, and Mac OS platforms. The aforementioned links provide a good model of what & how to support. Who would benefit?

Probably. Adding jakub.lazinski@mongodb.com to the conversation. Jakub, not sure if this is something y'all considered. |

Hi Andreas, I'm asking to have a GH Action which is supported and official, which should become the go-to GH Action used by the open source community. As far as I am aware, today that GH Action is https://github.com/supercharge/mongodb-github-action Perhaps you could extract the action out of this drivers-evergreen-tools repo, and only support the action itself. The first problem here is the repo name–it should be something obvious like... well... "mongodb-github-action". Make sense? |

Hi shields@tablecheck.com, most drivers use drivers-evergreen-tools to download and run MongoDB (and perform other tasks relevant for driver testing). This also includes a config file for GitHub actions, which allows us to re-use our existing tooling in a different CI environment. An example of how this is used can be found in the PHP driver; check this workflow for an example. The connection string is exposed as output variable in the step and can be used in an env variable (see relevant code). Note that while drivers-evergreen-tools isn't a supported project, our internal tooling for most drivers builds on top of this. Please let us know if this is what you had in mind, or if you think there could be additional functionality provided by this tooling. Thank you for bringing up the topic! |
