Add exemptions to the PR template verification job. Expose GH_TOKEN and pull request metadata (author, number, repo), skip the check when the author is "fleet-release", and skip when all changed files are under the exempt paths (ee/maintained-apps/ or it-and-security/) using the gh API to list files. The existing marker-based template check remains in place. <!-- Add the related story/sub-task/bug number, like Resolves #123, or remove if NA --> **Related issue:** Resolves # # Checklist for submitter If some of the following don't apply, delete the relevant line. - [ ] Changes file added for user-visible changes in `changes/`, `orbit/changes/` or `ee/fleetd-chrome/changes`. See [Changes files](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/guides/committing-changes.md#changes-files) for more information. - [ ] Input data is properly validated, `SELECT *` is avoided, SQL injection is prevented (using placeholders for values in statements), JS inline code is prevented especially for url redirects, and untrusted data interpolated into shell scripts/commands is validated against shell metacharacters. - [ ] Timeouts are implemented and retries are limited to avoid infinite loops - [ ] If paths of existing endpoints are modified without backwards compatibility, checked the frontend/CLI for any necessary changes ## Testing - [ ] Added/updated automated tests - [ ] Where appropriate, [automated tests simulate multiple hosts and test for host isolation](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/reference/patterns-backend.md#unit-testing) (updates to one hosts's records do not affect another) - [ ] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually For unreleased bug fixes in a release candidate, one of: - [ ] Confirmed that the fix is not expected to adversely impact load test results - [ ] Alerted the release DRI if additional load testing is needed ## Database migrations - [ ] Checked schema for all modified table for columns that will auto-update timestamps during migration. - [ ] Confirmed that updating the timestamps is acceptable, and will not cause unwanted side effects. - [ ] Ensured the correct collation is explicitly set for character columns (`COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci`). ## New Fleet configuration settings - [ ] Setting(s) is/are explicitly excluded from GitOps If you didn't check the box above, follow this checklist for GitOps-enabled settings: - [ ] Verified that the setting is exported via `fleetctl generate-gitops` - [ ] Verified the setting is documented in a separate PR to [the GitOps documentation](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Configuration/yaml-files.md#L485) - [ ] Verified that the setting is cleared on the server if it is not supplied in a YAML file (or that it is documented as being optional) - [ ] Verified that any relevant UI is disabled when GitOps mode is enabled ## fleetd/orbit/Fleet Desktop - [ ] Verified compatibility with the latest released version of Fleet (see [Must rule](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/workflows/fleetd-development-and-release-strategy.md)) - [ ] If the change applies to only one platform, confirmed that `runtime.GOOS` is used as needed to isolate changes - [ ] Verified that fleetd runs on macOS, Linux and Windows - [ ] Verified auto-update works from the released version of component to the new version (see [tools/tuf/test](../tools/tuf/test/README.md))
Github Actions
Fleet uses Github Actions for continuous integration (CI). This document describes best practices and at patterns for writing and maintaining Fleet's Github Actions workflows.
Bash
By default, Github Actions sets the shell to bash -e for linux and MacOS runners. To help write
safer bash scripts in run jobs and avoid common issues, override the default by adding the following
to the workflow file
defaults:
run:
# fail-fast using bash -eo pipefail. See https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#exit-codes-and-error-action-preference
shell: bash
By specifying the default shell to bash, some extra flags are set. The option pipefail changes
the behaviour when using the pipe | operator such that if any command in a pipeline fails, that
commands return code will be used a the return code for the whole pipeline. Consider the following
example in test-go.yaml
- name: Run Go Tests
run: |
# omitted ...
make test-go 2>&1 | tee /tmp/gotest.log
If the pipefail option was not set, this job would always succeed because tee would always
return success. This is not the intended behavior. Instead, we want the job to fail if make test-go fails.
Concurrency
Github Action runners are limited. If a lot of workflows are queued, they will wait in pending until a runner becomes available. This has caused issue in the past where workflows take an excessively long time to start. To help with this issue, use the following in workflows
# This allows a subsequently queued workflow run to interrupt previous runs
concurrency:
group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.head_ref || github.run_id}}
cancel-in-progress: true
When a workflow is triggered via a pull request, it will cancel previous running workflows for that
pull request. This is especially useful when changes are pushed to a pull request frequently.
Manually triggered workflows, workflows that run on a schedule, and workflows triggered by pushes to
main are unaffected.
