Shift the GitHub action to CLI repository

[Shurtu-gal]

Why do we need this improvement?

Currently the versions, releases and other stuff are isolated from CLI which is directly coupled with this CLI. However, this creates problems in bumping of versions and keeping code updated as well.

Furthermore, any change in CLI spec could be easily made here as well.

How will this change help?

This will help in automation of releases of CLI and tie them together properly.

How could it be implemented/designed?

This issue can be resolved through the following steps:-

• Transfer the source code of this action in a github-action folder.
• Put the test workflow in its proper place in .github directory.
• Tie the version at these steps:
  

  github-action-for-cli/entrypoint.sh

  Line 29 in 590180c

  if [ -n "$CLI_VERSION" ] && [ ! "$CLI_VERSION" == "latest" ]; then

  
  

  github-action-for-cli/Dockerfile

  Line 13 in 590180c

  RUN npm install --ignore-scripts -g @asyncapi/cli

• Add automation for release of new version of action with bump in CLI version.
• Put action.yml in root folder.

Additional steps:

1. Instead of installing the asyncapi cli, dockerise the code from parent directory itself.

Important

The action and bump of version would need to be tested in your personal repo or account. From my past experience would suggest using an alternate account itself.

@Shurtu-gal I wish to work on this issue. Basically, want to try something new, apart from website 😅

Great, however would need to wait for it to be accepted before assigning.

@akshatnema had scheduled a call with @derberg on 2024-08-27 to clarify some final details on this Bounty Issue before merging asyncapi/cli#1487.

[aeworxet]

Response, critical for technical resolution of this Bounty Issue (clarification on implementation) was delayed for one period of three consecutive working days

so all remaining target dates of the Bounty Issue's Timeline are extended by two calendar weeks.

Hey @aeworxet ,
after discussion this with @Shurtu-gal and Lukasz, I find that this may get delayed for the completion. Can you please extend the bounty deadlines by 2 weeks?

[aeworxet]

@akshatnema, please provide an update to the PR.

[aeworxet]

There is no update as I'm researching around the fact on how to manage GitHub Action for CLI.

@Shurtu-gal and @derberg proposals require different configurations, which in fact means we need to have the same package.json for both CLI and it's respective GitHub action.

I'm currently looking at how to use only one configuration and one package.json.

Although the matter looks simple, it will take time to try different approaches, so if I don't achieve a break-through in the nearest couple of days, I'll ask for the Timeline Extension.

asyncapi/cli#1487 (comment)

[aeworxet]

The latest conversation with @akshatnema took place on Friday 2024-09-20 in Slack, where he stated that the solution to this Bounty Issue will be merged later because it requires thorough testing, as it is a complete repo being moved into an existing one, and then became unresponsive.

Reasons for sudden silence after a lively conversation can be numerous, so I'm waiting for the clarification on this matter before taking any action.

[akshatnema]

Hey @aeworxet Sorry for the late reply.

The solution requires thorough testing, as this is a complete repo being moved into an existing one, so I need an extension by 2 weeks. But most probably, I will do everything on this weekend.

@aeworxet the versions automation task will be done in another PR.

[Shurtu-gal]

@aeworxet this issue is pretty complicated as some things related to containerizing part is still not working and we still have to do the automation of version locking and bumping. @akshatnema is also pretty new to the CLI repo so is it possible to reclassify this bounty as advanced and extend it for 1-2 weeks.

P.S: Original Source: asyncapi/cli#1487 (comment)

[aeworxet]

Upon request of the AsyncAPI Maintainer (@Shurtu-gal, githubID 100484401), the Complexity Level of this Bounty Issue was reclassified to Advanced (upgraded), and all remaining target dates of its Timeline were extended by two calendar weeks.

Bounty Issue was Reclassified and its Timeline Extended

Implementation of #396 (comment)

the versions automation task

is the PR

asyncapi/cli#1543

[aeworxet]

Timeline for this Bounty Issue has run out. Knowing it is quite complex, and taking into account that both @akshatnema and @Shurtu-gal have remained responsive during its resolution, I must first ask what should be done with it moving forward? Is more time needed to complete it, is it in the final stages, or is there something else?

It's in the final stages, just need to get the automation in place.

[Shurtu-gal]

This bounty is still in progress. We have been discussing possible solutions and have come with two plausible ones:-

• Using docker image directly to forego the github relase overhead.
• Using changeset to bump action.yml before release

[Shurtu-gal]

@aeworxet @akshatnema is exploring the above mentioned solutions and would be giving any updates he finds out here.

[aeworxet]

This Bounty Issue is still in progress and is encountering many restrictions and limitations related to GitHub Actions, AsyncAPI infrastructure, and the release process.

[akshatnema]

I tried to create release workflow using changeset here - https://github.com/akshatnema/cli/actions/runs/11999463258/job/33447396874. Currently debugging in it to create a changeset in the fork repo, and test the workflow.
