# Common CI workflow
This goal of this repo is to define a single Github workflow which will be used
in multiple Status projects which share the same common steps required
for testing:
- setting up the build matrix (different OSes, different Nim versions)
- installing the build dependencies
- building Nim and Nimble
- running the tests
## Usage
To use this workflow, in the project's `.github/workflows/<name>.yml`you need
to refer to it inside of `jobs.<name>.uses` field.\
For example, the full file might look like this:
```yaml
name: CI
on:
push:
branches:
- master
pull_request:
workflow_dispatch:
jobs:
build:
uses: status-im/nimbus-common-workflow/.github/workflows/common.yml@main
```
By default, it is assumed that your project uses `nimble test` for its testing.
### Customizing the test command
In a case where you don't just run `nimble test`, or when you need some additional
commands (e.g. installing additional libraries) before running the tests,
you can specify the `jobs.<name>.with.test-command`.\
For example:
```yaml
name: CI
on:
push:
branches:
- master
pull_request:
workflow_dispatch:
jobs:
build:
uses: status-im/nimbus-common-workflow/.github/workflows/common.yml@main
with:
test-command: |
nimble install -y toml_serialization json_serialization unittest2
nimble test
```
Or to run several different test commands:
```yaml
name: CI
on:
push:
branches:
- master
pull_request:
workflow_dispatch:
jobs:
build:
uses: status-im/nimbus-common-workflow/.github/workflows/common.yml@main
with:
test-command: |
nimble install -y libbacktrace
nimble test
nimble test_libbacktrace
nimble examples
```
