VMN Action

vmn: automatic versioning

Stamp With Release Candidate Mode

First RC Stamp

Firstly, we stamp a release candidate version from a released version

name: test

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
    inputs:
      app_name:
        description: App name
        required: true
      do_stamp:
        type: boolean
        description: Do you want to stamp a version?
        default: false
      stamp_mode:
        type: choice
        description: Release mode
        options:
        - patch
        - minor
        - major
        required: true
      prerelease_name:
        description: Prerelease name

jobs:
  build_pkg:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/[email protected]

    - id: foo
      uses: progovoy/vmn-action@vmna_0.1.73
      with:
        app-name: ${{ inputs.app_name }}

    - name: Use the output from vmn action
      run: |
        echo "${{ steps.foo.outputs.verstr }}"

Non-First RC Stamp

After the first RC stamp, we stamp a release candidate version from a prereleased version

name: test

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
    inputs:
      app_name:
        description: App name
        required: true
      do_stamp:
        type: boolean
        description: Do you want to stamp a version?
        default: false
      prerelease_name:
        description: Prerelease name

jobs:
  build_pkg:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/[email protected]

    - id: foo
      uses: progovoy/vmn-action@vmna_0.1.73
      with:
        app-name: ${{ inputs.app_name }}
        do-stamp: ${{ inputs.do_stamp }}
        release-candidate: true
        release: false
        prerelease-name: ${{ inputs.prerelease_name }}
      env:
        GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }} 
     
    - name: Use the output from vmn action
      run: |
        echo "${{ steps.foo.outputs.verstr }}"

Release RC Version

Finally, when we are ready to release the prereleased version

name: test

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
    inputs:
      app_name:
        description: App name
        required: true
      do_stamp:

        description: Do you want to stamp a version?
        default: false

    steps:
    - uses: actions/[email protected]

    - id: foo
      uses: progovoy/vmn-action@vmna_0.1.73
      with:
        app-name: ${{ inputs.app_name }}
        do-stamp: ${{ inputs.do_stamp }}
        release: true
      env:
        GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }}
