  - uses: liquibase/liquibase-github-action@v7
    with:
      operation: 'update'
      classpath: 'example/changelogs'
      changeLogFile: 'samplechangelog.h2.sql'
      username: ${{ secrets.USERNAME }}
      password: ${{ secrets.PASSWORD }}
      url: ${{ secrets.URL }}

Optional Parameter Example:

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v2
  - uses: liquibase/liquibase-github-action@v7
    with:
      operation: 'updateCount'
      classpath: 'example/changelogs'
      changeLogFile: 'samplechangelog.h2.sql'
      username: ${{ secrets.USERNAME }}
      password: ${{ secrets.PASSWORD }}
      url: ${{ secrets.URL }}
      count: 2

Required Inputs

operation is required for every use.

The operation input expects one of the following:

  • update
  • updateCount
  • tag
  • updateToTag
  • updateTestingRollback
  • rollback
  • rollbackCount
  • rollbackToDate
  • updateSQL
  • futureRollbackSQL
  • status
  • history
  • diff
  • validate
  • 'checks run' (note that the checks run command must be wrapped with quotes in your build.yml because the command has a space in it)

Optional Inputs

username, password, url, classpath, changeLogFile, count, tag, date, referenceUrl, proLicenseKey (deprecated in favor of licenseKey) and hubApiKey are optional inputs that may be required by some operations.

It is recommended that licenseKey and hubApiKey are not stored in plaintext, but rather using a GitHub secret:

Developer instructions

We've found that the easiest way to test changes to this GitHub action is to:

  • fork this repo to your personal account

  • create a sample build.yml to trigger the action, noting that the uses line specifies the relative path, which will run the action as specified in your fork (rather than the action that is published by Liquibase)

    name: Build and Test
    
    on: [push, pull_request]
    
    jobs:
      runchecks:
        name: "Run Liquibase Quality Checks"
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
        steps:
          - uses: actions/checkout@v2
          - uses: ./
            with:
              operation: 'checks run'
              changeLogFile: 'mychangelog.sql'
              checksSettingsFile: 'liquibasech.conf'
              proLicenseKey: ${{ secrets.PRO_LICENSE_KEY }}
  • make changes as desired and observe the execution in GitHub
