Cron and GitHub Actions

[cannin]

Can GitHub Actions run on as a cron job? Can this be set up to run once a week just to flag any issues that might be trigger by some interface changes; this can be on some small batch of articles?

In the README or in response to this issue can you describe what each Github Action is doing?

Hi Mentor

Can GitHub Actions run on as a cron job?

Yes it is possible, let me know the preferred time/day

I have tested it in my fork, you will have to set following "secrets" in the repository settings( I dont have access). MTI_USERNAME and MTI_PASSWORD
These are required to test MTI Batch MeSH processing. Registration Link

GitHub Actions

Github Actions configurations are specified in yml files located in directory .github/workflows . Recommended way to create workflow is using GitHub web UI. Following workflows are set up for the repository.	Workflow Name	Purpose	Trigger
CI	Performs Unit test, Quality check and uploads coverage report to Codecov	push, pull_request in package branch
MTI_WEBApiConsistencyChecker	Checks for interface consistency in MTI WebAPI. Supporting libraries and expected outputs are present in gh-actions/mesh-consistency-checker branch MeSH output is stored as artifact	Runs at 00:30 UTC, Thursday
INDRAConsistencyChecker	Checks for interface changes in INDRA API	Runs at 00:00 UTC, Thursday

For consistency check workflow, INDRAConsistencyChecker and _MTIWEBApiConsistencyChecker

• Failure indicates that there is some changes in their respective API.
• Success indicates no change, No change is required from our end

Code Coverage

Codecov Dashboard The CI workflow uploads code coverage reports to Codecov, the reports are visible in commit and pull requests and can cause CI to fail if commit does not meet the code coverage requirements.

Limitations

• Scheduled Github Actions needs to be in master or default branch, ref
• Email notifications only sent to owner of last commit
