2024_07: BUG Github Actions - Failed Checks and GH-Pages Deployment Not Working for Updating Team PSD Manual

[lijenn]

@matomasz to assess with @tejaspesquare.

@lijenn was trying to fix broken images mentioned in research/#550 brought up @lzim and @retooler, but encountered these failed Action Checkers in the pull request:

The deployment to GH-Pages did not work either.

This may impact @ljmoody if this same issue occurs for the MTL Manual.

[lzim]

Thanks for looking into this @lijenn
And for tracking the tech dependency between https://mtl.how/manual for Modeling to Learn 3.7 Consult Manual with @retooler work on #authorship_app in Team PSD Manual at https://mtl.how/teampsd_manual

[matomasz]

Discussed 7/22 Standup with Dev:

• Someone on DEV team will be working on this and can have an update by tomorrow (same person who is looking into ActionChecker issues in 2024_09: BUG: Resolve SDM-DOC CI/CD action problems #3193 and Feature gh pages fix ch 12 broken images #3221)

@lijenn , @matomasz,

To address this problem, it is necessary for us to request @lzim, the owner, to update the permission. We currently do not have access to the settings menu.

Thanks @tejaspesquare !

With my travel schedule today, I could be available to work with someone on a permissions & tokens related task around 1PM Pacific/3PM Central.

Let me know if we should connect synchronously to resolve this. I will have less availability tomorrow when the strategic planning meeting begins. Thx!

[matomasz]

@lzim I should be able to hop on a quick call around that time to resolve the settings issue. I will send you a meeting invite shortly.

[lzim]

Thanks @matomasz

Will you please send the invite to my Stanford email in case I cannot get on the VA network?

I may also need to connect closer to 3:15-3:30 since my travel was little delayed & my hotel room isn’t ready yet.

Do you have some flexibility to connect a little later?

[matthewtomo]

@lzim Yes to both questions. See you soon!

[lzim]

Thanks @matomasz I got the invite. I’m trying to find a place to take the call & will update shortly.

Things we reviewed on the call

• GitHub Settings already were consistent with the Stack Overflow documentation above.

@lzim & @matthewtomo reviewed this message:

has no historv in common with QA

• This part of the message indicates we probably need a Git solution that explains why the pull request of the pages_fix_ch_12_broken_images branch doesn't recognize a shared parent history with QA branch

Is this simply due to how gh-pages work overall, as it's only code branch, and not master or QA in the same way as other features branches we create?

Discussed support_workflow
@ljmoody @lijenn @matthewtomo

• Investigated the issue related to GitHub Pull Request Action Failing
• Corrected ActionChecker.yml to make a pull request directly into gh-pages branch instead of QA branch.
• Corrected renderbook.yml to use JamesIves/[email protected] instead of JamesIves/[email protected] (updated version of same action)
• This resulted in the GitHub Pages for the TeamPSD Manual successfully updating after making a pull request.
• NOTE: These changes were also made in the lzim/mtl repo, so CI-CD for GitHub pages should also be working for that repo.
