Consolidate Reusable Functions in github-actions

[jdingeman]

Overview

Developers have noted that certain javascript functions in github-actions are being declared and defined across multiple files. We want to make these functions reusable within the codebase so they are not being defined multiple times for the same function across different files.

Action Items

• [x] Look through the github-actions folder and find all instances of a function that is defined more than once
  • [x] e.g. getTimeline(issueNum) is defined in add-label.js and preliminary-update-comment.js
  • [x] Take note of any functions that have the same name, but different sets of parameters
• [x] Define all reusable functions within the github-actions/utils folder so they can be called in other files without redefining them
• [x] Test in your local repo that this does not break any existing GHAs

[wendybarrios]

I have a blocker. I am getting this error message when I run the Add-Update-Label-to-Issues-Weekly workflow on act.js. I created a file called get-timeline.js to hold the getTimeline function to use in these files: add-label.js and preliminary-update-comment.js. I'm not sure if I am calling the function correctly in add-label.js. The message says "issueNum is not defined" but I'm not sure if I'm importing/exporting the getTimeline function correctly.

Error Message:

Get-timeline file I created to export the getTimeline function:

Used Require to import the function to add-label.js:

Called the function in add-label.js:

I'm working in the "consolidate-reusable-functions-in-github-actions-3750" branch on my forked repo. Any help is appreciated!

[jdingeman]

@wendybarrios have you tried doing something like this

get-Timeline.js

/*
code body
*/

export { getTimeline };

and importing it into add-label.js like this

import { getTimeline } from './utils/get-timeline.js'
/* 
code body
*/

[wendybarrios]

@jdingeman Yes! But when I ran the workflow, this is the message I got. For this message, I tried adding: "type": "module" to the package.json file but the file was locked.
