## Summary
We are moving our docsite to this repo for better coordination.
## What's changed?
- The docsite codebase is now in docs/
- The docsite will replace storybook as the published GitHub Pages site
for this repo
- Storybook will now be hosted at https://docs.waveterm.dev/storybook
- A new CI workflow will validate any changes to Storybook or the
docsite
- A combined CD workflow will build and deploy Storybook and the docsite
as a single artifact
- The Build Helper workflow will now build an embedded version of the
docsite before building the app, ensuring the docsite version it has is
always the latest
There was a race condition in the Build Helper where if multiple runners
got to the "Create draft release" step at the same time, we could get
duplicate releases created. Now, each of the build runners will upload
the artifacts to the workflow artifact feed. Then, a single runner will
create the draft release.
This will take the latest artifact from the waveterm-docs repo and embed
it in the app binary. When the help view is launched, it will be served
from our backend. If the embedded copy doesn't exist, such as in
unpackaged versions of the app or in locally packaged versions, it will
use the hosted site instead.
There is a sibling PR in the docs repository to build the embedded
version of the app (strips out some external links, removes Algolia
DocSearch, updates the baseUrl)
https://github.com/wavetermdev/waveterm-docs/pull/46
This uses the GitHub Form Syntax to make richer issue templates. I took
a lot of inspiration from the Dioxus project for the wording of these
templates.
## New release workflow
Build Helper will now automatically create a draft GitHub Release after
it finishes its builds. It will upload a copy of the build artifacts to
this release for easy access.
When a version is ready to be published, edit the GitHub Release and
publish it. This will trigger a workflow to publish the artifacts to our
releases feed.
## Moved artifacts scripts to Taskfile
The scripts formerly located at `scripts/artifacts` have been moved to
the Taskfile. They can now be found at `artifacts:*`.
## Moved releases readme to `RELEASES.md`
Updated the releases readme with step-by-step instructions and moved it
from `scripts/artifacts` to `RELEASES.md`
## Created new AWS identities for artifact upload and publishing
This narrows the scopes of the AWS identities used by the workflows to
upload and publish artifacts. The Build Helper workflow now only has
permission to put files into the artifacts bucket. The Publish Release
workflow only has permission to get files from the artifacts bucket and
put them into the releases bucket.
## New release flow
1. Run "Bump Version" workflow with the desired version bump and the
prerelease flag set to `true`. This will push a new version bump to the
target branch and create a new git tag.
- See below for more info on how the version bumping works.
2. A new "Build Helper" workflow run will kick off automatically for the
new tag. Once it is complete, test the new build locally by downloading
with the [download
script](https://github.com/wavetermdev/thenextwave/blob/main/scripts/artifacts/download-staged-artifact.sh).
3. Release the new build using the [publish
script](https://github.com/wavetermdev/thenextwave/blob/main/scripts/artifacts/publish-from-staging.sh).
This will trigger electron-updater to distribute the package to beta
users.
4. Run "Bump Version" again with a release bump (either `major`,
`minor`, or `patch`) and the prerelease flag set to `false`.
6. Release the new build to all channels using the [publish
script](https://github.com/wavetermdev/thenextwave/blob/main/scripts/artifacts/publish-from-staging.sh).
This will trigger electron-updater to distribute the package to all
users.
## Change Summary
Creates a new "Bump Version" workflow to manage versioning and tag
creation.
Build Helper is now automated.
### Version bumps
Updates the `version.cjs` script so that an argument can be passed to
trigger a version bump. Under the hood, this utilizes NPM's `semver`
package.
If arguments are present, the version will be bumped.
If only a single argument is given, the following are valid inputs:
- `none`: No-op.
- `patch`: Bumps the patch version.
- `minor`: Bumps the minor version.
- `major`: Bumps the major version.
- '1', 'true': Bumps the prerelease version.
If two arguments are given, the first argument must be either `none`,
`patch`, `minor`, or `major`. The second argument must be `1` or `true`
to bump the prerelease version.
### electron-builder
We are now using the release channels support in electron-builder. This
will automatically detect the channel being built based on the package
version to determine which channel update files need to be generated.
See
[here](https://www.electron.build/tutorials/release-using-channels.html)
for more information.
### Github Actions
#### Bump Version
This adds a new "Bump Version" workflow for managing versioning and
queuing new builds. When run, this workflow will bump the version,
create a new tag, and push the changes to the target branch. There is a
new dropdown when queuing the "Bump Version" workflow to select what
kind of version bump to perform. A bump must always be performed when
running a new build to ensure consistency.
I had to create a GitHub App to grant write permissions to our main
branch for the version bump commits. I've made a separate workflow file
to manage the version bump commits, which should help prevent tampering.
Thanks to using the GitHub API directly, I am able to make these commits
signed!
#### Build Helper
Build Helper is now triggered when new tags are created, rather than
being triggered automatically. This ensures we're always creating
artifacts from known checkpoints.
### Settings
Adds a new `autoupdate:channel` configuration to the settings file. If
unset, the default from the artifact will be used (should correspond to
the channel of the artifact when downloaded).
## Future Work
I want to add a release workflow that will automatically copy over the
corresponding version artifacts to the release bucket when a new GitHub
Release is created.
I also want to separate versions into separate subdirectories in the
release bucket so we can clean them up more-easily.
