Investigate repository_dispatch #88

Closed bnb closed 3 years ago

bnb commented 3 years ago

Per the discussion in today's meeting, wanted to create an issue for checking out the repository_dispatch trigger for an Action, which allows an Action to be triggered by a GitHub API call. This might be useful for triggering an Action in the root Wiby repo to report back when a run fails/succeeds.

Thanks! This does look useful, but since we can't rely on the target repos talking back to the parent repo, this still means having something external to trigger it, I think...

Went through the docs again - repository_dispatch event needs something to call the POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/dispatches endpoint.

The only way I can imagine this working is to create some sort of a wiby "callback" workflow on the target dependent repo, but that probably defeats the purpose

I'll close this for now and keep on thinking thinking thinking...
