Dog food our own packages more on dev

BryceStevenWilley commented 2 years ago

Reducing the friction between making commits to our core AL packages (this repo, MACourts, GithubFeedbackForm, and ALToolbox) and installing those packages on dev is important, and would help us find more issues in those repos (potentially).

To reduce that friction, we could make a github action that installs those packages to our dev server when they have new commits automatically.

Tagged releases to test Every commit to dev

There's a simple version of this in https://github.com/SuffolkLITLab/ALActions/tree/dogfood.

I wanna test it by:

making an action in AssemblyLine that uses that branch, and installs on every commit to main
potentially handles multiple runs going at the same time; I can't find the resources about them, but I do remember that you can stop existing runs if more commits are pushed to the branch while the original action is still running. this might not be an issue though, I imagine that the stuff will push to dev within ~10 seconds or so of the push to main.
