[TASK] Adjust Github Actions so they run in order

[Dylan-Riley]

Order:

1. deploy-ui
2. deploy-functions
3. artillery-users
4. artillery-users-user_id
5. artillery-users-user_id-tasks
6. artillery-users-user_id-tasks-task_id
7. slsart-api-users
8. slsart-api-users-user_id
9. slsart-api-users-user_id-tasks
10. slsart-api-users-user_id-tasks-task_id
11. slsart-UI-users
12. slsart-UI-users-user_id
13. slsart-UI-users-user_id-tasks
14. slsart-UI-users-user_id-tasks-task_id

Many will need to be renamed, a few might need adjusting.

Preliminary research makes it seem there's not a super elegant way to make workflows wait on other workflows.

From https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/events-that-trigger-workflows#workflow_run :

workflow_run This event occurs when a workflow run is requested or completed, and allows you to execute a workflow based on the finished result of another workflow. For example, if your pull_request workflow generates build artifacts, you can create a new workflow that uses workflow_run to analyze the results and add a comment to the original pull request.

The workflow started by the workflow_run event is able to access the secrets and write tokens used by the original workflow.

Note: This event will only trigger a workflow run if the workflow file is on the default branch.

Also try to figure out https://github.com/North-Seattle-College/ad440-winter2021-thursday-repo/issues/186

[Dylan-Riley]

Add all artillery and serverless-artillery actions to their own respective workflows?

Can serverless-artillery deploy a single time before doing all eight tests/invokes then do a single remove?

Which of the workflows depend on which other workflows?

[Dylan-Riley]

Find previous issues/PRs for the deploy actions (UI/functions) see exactly what those do, how long they take.

Read up on https://github.com/softprops/turnstyle

Looks more like it's used to prevent the same action running in parallel from multiple merges, but it might do

[Dylan-Riley]

Okay, so this is fairly simple using on: repository_dispatch (See here) BUT the workflows need to be in the default branch!

Using

name: foo

on: [push]

jobs:
  workflow1:
    name: workflow 1
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: wait fifteen seconds
        run: |
          echo foo
          sleep 15
      - name: Trigger next workflow
        if: success()
        uses: peter-evans/repository-dispatch@v1
        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.REPO_GHA_PAT }}
          repository: ${{ github.repository }}
          event-type: trigger-workflow-2
          client-payload: '{"ref": "${{ github.ref }}", "sha": "${{ github.sha }}"}'

and

name: bar

on: 
  repository_dispatch:
    types: [trigger-workflow-2]

jobs:
  workflow2:
    name: workflow 2
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
        with:
          ref: ${{ github.event.client_payload.sha }}
      - run: echo bar

I was able to get a proof of concept, but multiple people testing any sweeping changes I make will not work

Therefore, I have decided only to edit the existing workflows as of 4/MAR/2021 to trigger each other sequentially. I will not be doing any of the extra edits suggested in https://github.com/North-Seattle-College/ad440-winter2021-thursday-repo/issues/195#issuecomment-785697435

I also needed to add a secret that is a github Personal Access Token in order to get all the permissions needed. All this token has access to is the repo and workflow scopes, everything else is not included

[Dylan-Riley]

Only ten working (presumably) workflows in /.github/workflows/ total, two of which aren't technically on my list.

Missing:

• artillery test for users/{user_id}
• serverless-artillery test for users/{user_id}/tasks/{task_id}
• All slsart UI tests
• Any UI testing aside from /users/
