Ability to split out PRs?

[kevinquillen]

I want to run checks for Drupal core updates every few hours. For contrib I want it to run daily. I would like to create PRs for core only, and contrib only. If possible I would like a PR per contrib module, but am fine with contrib grouped for now.

Is this possible? how?

Also, it would be nice if the PR for core updates could automerge (triggering a deployment in my case). Can that be done here?

Hi,

You can run multiple GitHub actions and adjust parameters to include/exclude core, but not contrib modules.
I can add an option to run only for the core.

You can split major and minor updates into two actions.

      - name: Check updates
        id: updates
        uses: valicm/drupal-update@v4
        with:
           update_type: semver-safe-update or all (default is semver-safe-update)
           update_core: true or false (default true)
           update_exclude: pathauto,token (default is empty)

See the full definition here: https://github.com/valicm/drupal-update/blob/main/action.yml

The auto merge can be done with this - https://github.com/peter-evans/enable-pull-request-automerge

I don't suggest auto merge for anything except Drupal Core minor.
Except code changes, it's recommended to do the following, because there could be some configuration changes

drush updatedb -y && drush cex -y

But if you have full drupal site bootstrapped in GitHub action, you could run both of these and commit than

I can't figure out how to split individual PRs for contrib, but I did get two actions created. One for core only, one for contrib only.

First, the contrib action steps:

      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Check for Drupal contributed module updates
        id: updates
        uses: valicm/drupal-update@v4
        with:
          update_core: false
          update_exclude: core, core-recommended, core-composer-scaffold, core-project-message, core-dev
      - name: Get current date and time
        run: |
          echo "JOB_CURRENT_TIME=$(date +'%Y-%m-%d.%s')" >> $GITHUB_ENV
      - name: create pull-request
        uses: peter-evans/create-pull-request@v5
        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.MYSECRET }}
          commit-message: Drupal contrib updates
          title: Drupal contrib updates
          body: ${{ env.DRUPAL_UPDATES_TABLE }}
          branch: updates/drupal-contrib-${{ env.JOB_CURRENT_TIME }}
          delete-branch: true

Secore, core, which does the inverse and uses the exclude input:

      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Install PHP
        uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
        with:
          php-version: 8.1
      - name: Composer install with dev dependencies
        run: composer install -n --optimize-autoloader --ignore-platform-reqs
      - name: Store current version for reference
        run: |
          echo "ORIGINAL_CORE_VERSION=$(composer show drupal/core-recommended | grep "versions : \* [0-9.]" | cut -d' ' -f 4 | xargs -n1 basename)" >> $GITHUB_ENV
      - name: Generating list of contributed modules to exclude from update
        run: |
          echo "CONTRIB_LIST=$(composer show -N -D | grep "drupal/" | cut -d : -f 1 | xargs -n1 basename | grep -v "core-" | awk -vORS=, '{ print $1 }' | sed 's/,$/\n/')" >> $GITHUB_ENV
      - name: Check for Drupal core updates
        run: |
          composer update drupal/core-* -W
      - name: Getting updated version, if applicable
        run: |
          echo "UPDATED_CORE_VERSION=$(composer show drupal/core-recommended | grep "versions : \* [0-9.]" | cut -d' ' -f 4 | xargs -n1 basename)" >> $GITHUB_ENV
      - name: Get current date and time
        run: |
          echo "JOB_CURRENT_TIME=$(date +'%Y-%m-%d.%s')" >> $GITHUB_ENV
      - name: Generate a pull request
        if: ${{ env.ORIGINAL_CORE_VERSION != env.UPDATED_CORE_VERSION }}
        uses: peter-evans/create-pull-request@v5
        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.MYSECRET }}
          commit-message: Update drupal/core-* packages to ${{ env.UPDATED_CORE_VERSION }}
          title: Update drupal/core-* packages to ${{ env.UPDATED_CORE_VERSION }}
          body: |
            Update drupal/core-* packages to ${{ env.UPDATED_CORE_VERSION }}
          branch: release/drupal-core-${{ env.UPDATED_CORE_VERSION }}-${{ env.JOB_CURRENT_TIME }}
          delete-branch: true

I wound up just having the raw composer update command there for simplicity, but the CONTRIB_LIST env variable contains a comma delimited list of all drupal/* packages that are not 'core-'.

• edit - and yes, the next step is pulling down a database so I can run updates and config export to roll into the PR.

You maybe don't need full DB.

Make it so that your installation works with drush si --existing-config

That would bootstrap your site fully, but without the need for you to pull full DB to GitHub actions
