[eclipse-clp-users] GitHub Actions and Workflows for Logtalk and Prolog repos

[Paulo M. <pm...@lo...>]

Hi,

For the past few weeks, I have been implementing a set of GitHub Actions and Workflows (https://help.github.com/en/github/automating-your-workflow-with-github-actions/about-github-actions) for Logtalk repos, available from:

https://github.com/logtalk-actions

These necessarily include actions for setting up supported backend Prolog compilers. I currently make available actions for setting up ECLiPSe (https://github.com/logtalk-actions/setup-eclipse), GNU Prolog (https://github.com/logtalk-actions/setup-gnu-prolog), and SWI-Prolog (https://github.com/logtalk-actions/setup-swi-prolog) environments.

Also available are some demo repos illustrating the provided workflows (https://github.com/logtalk-actions/workflows). Notably, the "demo" repo (https://github.com/logtalk-actions/demo) shows how to automatically run tests, publish test reports, and regenerate API documentation and diagrams on a push event.

The "setup-eclipse" action (https://github.com/logtalk-actions/setup-eclipse) can also be used for repos that don't make use of Logtalk. The community challenge here is twofold:

- Get users with open source repos into the habit of writing tests and documentation and then benefit from automatically running those tests and regenerating and publishing documentation every time they commit and push a new version.
- Writing and sharing actions and workflows for common usage scenarios.

Feedback and contributions welcome.

Enjoy!
Paulo
