GitHub Action: Wait for Check

A GitHub Action that allows you to wait for another GitHub check to complete. This is useful if you want to run one Workflow after another one finishes.

Example Usage

    steps:
      - name: Wait for build to succeed
        uses: fountainhead/action-wait-for-check@v1.0.0
        id: wait-for-build
        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          checkName: build
          ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha || github.sha }}

      - name: Do something with a passing build
        if: steps.wait-for-build.outputs.conclusion == 'success'

      - name: Do something with a failing build
        if: steps.wait-for-build.outputs.conclusion == 'failure'

      - name: Do something when this check was never started
        if; steps.wait-for-build.outputs.conclusion == 'creation_timed_out'

Inputs

This Action accepts the following configuration parameters via with:

• token

  Required

  The GitHub token to use for making API requests. Typically, this would be set to ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}.

• checkName

  Required

  The name of the GitHub check to wait for. For example, build or deploy.

• ref

  Default: github.sha

  The Git ref of the commit you want to poll for a passing check.

  PROTIP: You may want to use github.pull_request.head.sha when working with Pull Requests.

• repo

  Default: github.repo.repo

  The name of the Repository you want to poll for a passing check.

• owner

  Default: github.repo.owner

  The name of the Repository's owner you want to poll for a passing check.

• creationTimeoutSeconds

  Default: 60

  The number of seconds to wait for the check to be created. If the check isn't created within this time, this action will emit a conclusion value of creation_timed_out.

• timeoutSeconds

  Default: 600

  The number of seconds to wait for the check to complete. If the check does not complete within this amount of time, this Action will emit a conclusion value of timed_out.

• intervalSeconds

  Default: 10

  The number of seconds to wait before each poll of the GitHub API for checks on this commit.

Outputs

This Action emits a single output named conclusion. Like the field of the same name in the CheckRunEvent API Response, it may be one of the following values:

• success
• failure
• neutral
• timed_out
• creation_timed_out
• action_required

These correspond to the conclusion state of the Check you're waiting on. In addition, this action will emit a conclusion of timed_out if the Check specified didn't complete within timeoutSeconds. creation_timed_out is returned when the check wasn't created in the creationTimeoutSeconds time (Eg optional checks based on what folders were changed in a monorepo).
