Hi @shahnoor-khan! Sure. Let me know if you need any input on this.
I would suggest you post on the corresponding issue on the Processing repo so I can assign it to you too: https://github.com/processing/processing4/issues/665
Thanks in advance for your help!
Thanks @SableRaf! I work on this issue and will ping u, if help is needed.
yeah pls assign me that issue as well.
Hi @shahnoor-khan. I'd like to suggest a small change to the proposed solution. Instead of automatically updating the website, it would be better to automatically create a Pull Request. This way, there would still be a human in the loop to review and approve the changes before they go live.
Okay @SableRaf. Will definitely try it that way.
Problem Statement
The Processing download page does not currently update automatically when a new version is released. As a result, the website must be updated manually through a multi-step process, which can be time-consuming for maintainers.
Proposed Solution
Instead of manually triggering
fetchReleases.js
, the update of the website can be automated with GitHub workflows whenever a new version of Processing is released. The automation process will fetch the releases from both the Processing and Processing4 repositories and write them to JSON files in thecontent/download/releases
directory. For more information, refer tofetchReleases.js
.The action should make a new release for the website and deploy it by interacting with the existing deploy workflow.
Note: this change will require the Processing4 repository to dispatch an event upon the creation of a new release.
