I have an Expo app where the web component is hosted through Vercel. I use the Vercel GitHub integration for automatic deployment. Expo has a different build command for staging builds and production builds, and it doesn't appear Vercel supports environment/staging based build commands. I'm wondering if I'm possibly missing something and this is possible or anyone has another way of handling this?
I was in a similar situation and managed to solve it with a shell script.
Here is an example you can try out:
#!/bin/bash
if [[ $VERCEL_ENV == "production" ]] ;
then
echo "Building production"
yarn build:production
else
echo "Building staging"
yarn build:staging
fi
And lets say you called the file vercel.sh, you would configure vercel buildCommand to be sh vercel.sh.
Basically, from the shell script you'll be able to use any of the system environment variables vercel provides.
I'm trying to set up an AWS CodeBuild project to run tests to validate PRs and commits on a GitHub repository.
Because of the nature of the repo (a monorepo combining several ML models):
I need to restrict down to only run tests associated with files changed in the PR/commit to keep time+cost under control, but
The tests will typically require reference to other un-changed files in the repo: So can't just only pull changed files through to the build container.
How can a running CodeBuild build triggered by a GitHub PR (as per the docs here) 'see' which files are changed by the PR to selectively execute tests?
In your buildspec file you can perform shell commands, I think you can use some git commands there and echo the result, so you can see them as logs during the build.
You can use git diff --name-only $$CODEBUILD_RESOLVED_SOURCE_VERSION $$CODEBUILD_WEBHOOK_PREV_COMMIT
Where $CODEBUILD_WEBHOOK_PREV_COMMIT is the commit id of the previous commit. And $CODEBUILD_RESOLVED_SOURCE_VERSION is the commit id of the actual one.
Inside a build phase you can check the change with:
- |
if [ "$(git diff --name-only $CODEBUILD_RESOLVED_SOURCE_VERSION $CODEBUILD_WEBHOOK_PREV_COMMIT | grep -e <filde_path>)" != "" ]; then
#your code;
fi
Every GitHub repository can have (or be) a GitHub Pages website, that can be built with Jekyll. GitHub builds the site every time you push a new commit.
Is there a way to force the refresh of the Github Pages website without pushing a new commit?
From GitHub support, 2014-06-07:
It's not currently possible to manually trigger a rebuild, without pushing a commit to the appropriate branch.
Edit:
As Andy pointed out in the comments, you can push an empty commit with the command:
git commit -m 'rebuild pages' --allow-empty
git push origin <branch-name>
Edit 2:
Thanks to GitHub Actions, it's fairly easy to trigger a daily publish: https://stackoverflow.com/a/61706020/4548500.
If you want a quick script solution, here it is. Just do the following tasks only once, and run the script whenever you want to rebuild your GitHub page.
1. Create a personal access token for the command line:
Follow the official help here to create a personal access token. Basically, you have to log in your GitHub account and go to: Settings > Developer settings > Personal access tokens > Generate new token.
Tick repo scope.
Copy the token.
2. Create the following script:
Create a file called RebuildPage.sh and add the lines:
#!/bin/bash
curl -u yourname:yourtoken -X POST https://api.github.com/repos/yourname/yourrepo/pages/builds
Here,
Replace yourname with your GitHub username.
Replace yourtoken with your copied personal access token.
Replace yourrepo with your repository name.
3. Run the script:
If you use Windows 10:
You need to setup Windows Subsystem for Linux, if not already done. Follow this to do so.
Remove the first line (#!/bin/bash) from the script and save the script as RebuildPage.bat. (i.e., replace .sh with .bat in the script file name)
Alternative to the above point: To get the double-click feature for running the .sh file:
Set bash.exe as the default program for .sh files.
Open regedit.exe and edit HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\bash.exe\shell\open\command. Set the (Default) value to:
"C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe" -c " \"./$(grep -oE '[^\\]+$' <<< '%L')\";"
Now double-click the script wheneven you want to rebuild your GitHub page. Done!
If you use Linux/Mac, running the script is as same as running other scripts. Done!
Additional notes for the solution:
This solution utilizes a API of GitHub REST API v3. Here is the official documentation for the API.
Now that GitHub Actions are available, this is trivial to do:
# File: .github/workflows/refresh.yml
name: Refresh
on:
schedule:
- cron: '0 3 * * *' # Runs every day at 3am
jobs:
refresh:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Trigger GitHub pages rebuild
run: |
curl --fail --request POST \
--url https://api.github.com/repos/${{ github.repository }}/pages/builds \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $USER_TOKEN"
env:
# You must create a personal token with repo access as GitHub does
# not yet support server-to-server page builds.
USER_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.USER_TOKEN }}
Sample repo that does this: https://github.com/SUPERCILEX/personal-website/actions
Pages API: https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/pages/#request-a-page-build
I had this problem for a while, and pushing to master branch didn't change anything on myapp.github.io, for two reasons :
1 - Build
No matter how many time I tried to push my work on master, build would not start. I found a workaround by modifying my file in Github online editor (open your index.html and edit it on Github website, then commit)
2 - Caching issues
Even after a successful build, I would still see the exact same page on myapp.github.io, and hard reloading with Ctrl + Shift + R wouldn't solve it. Instead, if using Chrome, inspect your page, head into the Application tab, select "Clear storage" in the left menu, and click on "Clear site data" at the bottom of the menu.
Even after I pushed my changes to GitHub repository, I was not able to see the changes today. Then I checked my repository settings for more information, there I could see, all these times the build was failing and that was the reason I was not able to see the changes.
You may also see a message as "Your site is having problems building: Unable to build page. Please try again later."
Then I was checking my recent commits and tried to find out what causes this issue. At the end I was able to fix the issue.
There was an additional comma in the tags (,) and that caused this issue.
You will not get relevant error messages if there are any issues in your .md file. I recommend you to check for the build status and compare the changes if you are facing the same issue.
This is doable as of v3 of the GitHub API, though it is currently in preview
https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/pages/#request-a-page-build
POST /repos/:owner/:repo/pages/builds
The empty commit didn't work for me, but based on #benett answer, this worked for me:
Open Postman, create a new request with this URL: https://api.github.com/repos/[user_name]/[repo_name]/pages/builds (replace with your name and repo), and select POST method.
Before you run it, go to the headers tab and add a new key Accept with the value application/vnd.github.mister-fantastic-preview+json
Now you can run it and visit your pages again.
I was having trouble refreshing even though my Github Actions was showing that my site has been deployed.
Toggling the publishing source did the trick for me. I switched the publishing source from master to content and then back to master. You can check how to change the publishing source of the branch here
I went through the same problem, to solve it I developed a githu action that works with scheduler and supports updating multiple gh-pages at the same time.
https://github.com/marketplace/actions/jekyll-update-github-pages-without-new-commit, the action update gh-pages without generate new commits.
name: Update all github pages
on:
schedule:
- cron: "30 0 * * *"
jobs:
github-pages:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
name: Update Github Pages Initiatives
steps:
- name: Jekyll update github pages without new commit
uses: DP6/jekyll-update-pages-action#v1.0.1
with:
DEPLOY_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GH_PAGES_DEPLOY_TOKEN }}
USER: ${{ secrets.GH_PAGES_USER }}
FILTER: 'is%3Apublic%20org%3Adp6'
Log action
Alternative Solution
You may have received an email from GitHub telling you that Jekyll did not succeed at building your site when you pushed it to your gh-pages. If this is the case, you can try to force push to trigger another build.
If you use a dedicated folder for the final website, let's say a public folder, you can try to rebuild your folder and add the folder to your commited changes. After that, you'll need to split those file into your gh-pages branch and force them to trigger another build even if the files did not change at all. The rest of the code bellow just removes the commits for the public folder for convenience and removes it from the local filesystem.
Code
git add public
git commit -am ":bug: triggering another jekyll build"
git push origin $(git subtree split --prefix public master):gh-pages --force
git reset HEAD~1
rm -rf public
Tips
If there are uncommited changes that are not part of the final site, you can stash them with the following command.
git stash
Then do the above command to manually force the Jekyll build and unstash them.
git stash pop

I surmise from other answers that this was once difficult?
Go to Settings->Pages
Just under "Change theme" you'll see a link to the actual Github action labeled "pages build and deployment workflow".

How can one get the build_number (and other build metadata) from within the after_script command in Travis-CI?
What have been tried already:
The documentation on build configuration says this, in the IRC notification section:
You also have the possibility to customize the message that will be
sent to the channel(s) with a template:
notifications:
irc:
channels:
- "irc.freenode.org#travis"
- "irc.freenode.org#some-other-channel"
template:
- "%{repository} (%{commit}) : %{message} %{foo} "
- "Build details: %{build_url}"
You can interpolate the following variables:
repository: your GitHub repo URL.
build_number: build number.
branch: branch build name.
commit: shorten commit SHA
author: commit author name.
message: travis message to the build.
compare_url: commit change view URL.
build_url: URL of the build detail.
Trying to get this to work within an after_script command as below, did not work at all:
language: java
after_script:
- git commit -a -m "Committed by Travis-CI build number: %{build_number}"
It behaved as if .travis.yml file was absent/invalid (even though it did pass the Travis-CI YAML validation here).
It seems as though this should be doable, but could not find any sample that does this.
Could someone point me in the right direction?
The string replacements you can do for IRC output only work there unfortunately. They're only meant to be used for notifications in general, to customize the output, but are currently only available for IRC.
There's still a way to get the current build number, by accessing the TRAVIS_JOB_ID environment variable. If you change your script to the following line, things should work as expected:
after_success:
- git commit -a -m "Committed by Travis-CI build number: $TRAVIS_JOB_ID"
I use this in my deploy script:
git commit -am "Auto deploy from Travis CI build $TRAVIS_BUILD_ID"

Bamboo CI has a build in feature of having the subversion program trigger a build in bamboo when someone commits to the repository. I followed the instructions of what to put in the post commit hook but I am not sure what the 2 arguments are supposed to be for the postcommitbuildtrigger.sh file. Lets say the project name is TEST and the build name is TESTBUILD and the server url is http://localhost:8085. I wrote this in the post commit hook command line.
/<pathtopostcommit.sh> TEST TESTBUILD
Question
The post commit .sh file is on a windows machine. It could be because windows doesnt run .sh files but if thats so does anyone know how to set up this trigger on windows?
Also, I think this will trigger a build immediatly? Is is possible to trigger bamboo to run a poll instead so the build will obey the quiet period?
Have to write your own scripts. Bamboo only distributes mac and linux scripts.
Ok I wrote my own. It's so much nicer than subversion poll time-outs. Tested on:
VisualSvn Server 2.7.2;
Windows Web Server 2008 R2.
PowerShell 2.0
BambooWebApiTrigger.bat
A batch file runner for PowerShell in C:\SvnHooks\:
#echo OFF
rem this file just makes spawning powershell from VisualSvn a tad easier...
rem
rem Args from VisualSvn Server are ignored. Pass Bamboo BUILD KEY as the first
rem parameter to this script.
Powershell.exe -executionpolicy remotesigned -File C:\SvnHooks\BambooWebApiTrigger.ps1 -key %1
BambooWebApiTrigger.ps1
A PowerShell script to run System.Net.WebClient, also in C:\SvnHooks\. Overwrite bamboo.yourdefaultdomain.com with your local Bamboo server:
# A Powershell script to trigger Bamboo to build a specific key
param (
[string]$baseurl = "http://bamboo.radicalsystems.com.au:8085",
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
[string]$key,
[string]$tmp = $null
)
$fullUrl = $baseurl + "/updateAndBuild.action?buildKey=" + $key
if (!$tmp) {
$tmp = [io.path]::GetTempFileName()
}
echo "Pinging Bamboo API at '$fullUrl'"
$client = new-object System.Net.WebClient
$client.DownloadFile($fullUrl, $tmp)
# comment Remove-Item to see the results. It is a HTML result with success message.
# echo "Results are in $tmp"
Remove-Item $tmp
Configure VisualSvn
Right click on project in VisualSvn Server Manager > Properties > Hooks > Post-commit hook (Edit).
Enter this line after any others:
C:\SvnHooks\BambooWebApiTrigger.bat BambooProjectKey
where BambooProjectKey is the key, found after your bamboo url when browsing the Build Plan (not the project). It usually has a hyphen in it: http://bamboo.yourdomain.com:8085/browse/FOO-BAR. In this case, FOO-BAR would be the key.
Configure Bamboo
Change your Bamboo trigger to Repository triggers the build when changes are committed
Options
You can overwrite the key from the VisualSvn post-commit hook dialog, as well as Bamboo base URL and temp file location from the batch file runner.
