GitHub

1. Log in to your GitHub profile and click Repositories: https://github.com/<Your_Account>?tab=repositories

2. On the Repositories tab, click New.

3. In the Create a new repository dialog box, name your repo and click Create repository.

4. In the newly created repository, import your code.

   In this example, we selected the second option (creating a new repository on the command line).

   To create a new repository on the command line:

   1. Open the command line and navigate to the project.

   2. Run the following commands:

      Copy

      git init
      git add .
      git commit -m "first commit"
      git branch -M main
      git remote add origin https://github.com/<your_account>/Quantum-GHA.git
      git push -u origin main

5. In GitHub, make sure the code is uploaded.

1. In GitHub, click Actions.

2. On the Get started with GitHub Actions, select one of the options displayed.. In the case of our example, we need Java with Maven. Setting the project up with this workflow generates the following YAML file:

   Copy

   YAML file

   #Maven
       # This workflow will build a Java project with Maven
       # For more information see: https://help.github.com/actions/language-and-framework-guides/building-and-testing-java-with-maven
       
       name: Java CI with Maven
           
       on:
       push:
           branches: [ main ]
         pull_request:
       branches: [ main ]
           
       jobs:
         build:
           
           runs-on: ubuntu-latest
           
           steps:
           - uses: actions/checkout@v2
           - name: Set up JDK 11
             uses: actions/setup-java@v2
             with:
               java-version: '11'
               distribution: 'adopt'
           - name: Build with Maven
             run: mvn -B package --file pom.xml

   This file has a built-in setup to run/trigger your test on every push and pull request. You can change that by either deleting the unneeded rows or commenting them out. For demo purposes, we left them intact in the above code snippet.

3. To integrate with the CI Dashboard in Perfecto, do the following:

   1. Delete package.

   2. Add the following line:

      Copy

      clean install

   3. At the end, add the following line:

      Copy

      -Dreportium-job-name=GitHubActionsJob -Dreportium-job-number=$GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER -Dreportium-job-branch=QuantumBranch_GitHubActions

      Your file should now look similar to the following:

      Copy

      YAML file with CI Dashboard integration

      #Maven
          # This workflow will build a Java project with Maven
          # For more information see: https://help.github.com/actions/language-and-framework-guides/building-and-testing-java-with-maven
          
          
          name: Java CI with Maven
          
          
          on:
          push:
              branches: [ main ]
            pull_request:
          branches: [ main ]
          
          
          jobs:
            build:
          
          
              runs-on: ubuntu-latest
          
          
              steps:
              - uses: actions/checkout@v2
              - name: Set up JDK 11
                uses: actions/setup-java@v2
                with:
                  java-version: '11'
                  distribution: 'adopt'
              - name: Build with Maven
                run: mvn -B clean install --file pom.xml -Dreportium-job-name=GitHubActionsJob -Dreportium-job-number=$GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER -Dreportium-job-branch=QuantumBranch_GitHubActions

      In the updated YAML file above, GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER is used. This is a variable taken from GitHub and processed to Perfecto Smart Reporting. All GitHub variables are available here: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/variables

4. To save the file and start your first GitHub Actions, click Start commit.

5. In the Commit new file dialog box, select Commit directly to the main branch and then click Commit new file.

6. Make sure the file was created.

7. In GitHub, go back to the Actions tab and make sure the workflow run icon is rotating.

   When the run finishes successfully, the workflow icon turns green.

• Update the YAML file by adding the following:

  Copy

  schedule:
      # * is a special character in YAML so you have to quote this string
      - cron:  '30 5,17 * * *'

  Copy

  YAML file with schedule information

        schedule:

          - cron:  '* 11 * * *'
      
      
      jobs:

          steps:

          - name: Build with Maven
            run: mvn -B clean install --file pom.xml -Dreportium-job-name=GitHubActionsJob -Dreportium-job-number=$GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER -Dreportium-job-branch=QuantumBranch_GitHubActions
