corda / check-correct-publish-plugin-is-in-use-action

A Github Action to check for wrong Gradle publish plugin in Open Source projects

Check if correct publish Gradle plugin is in use

Makes sure Gradle project doesn't use com.r3.internal.gradle.plugins.r3Publish Gradle plugin for publishing, as this is tied to internal R3 infrastructure.

Instead corda.common-publishing should be used, but this action doesn't check that.

How to use it

Create a Github Action and add a step like this

name: <NAME OF THE ACTIONS>

on:
  push:
    branches: [ BRANCHES ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ BRANCHES ]

permissions:
  contents: read

jobs:
  check:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
    - uses: corda/check-correct-publish-plugin-is-in-use-action@v1

Versioning

Versioning for this projects follows semantic versioning. For each version a tag is created with v prefix, ie:

• version 1.0.0 has tag v1.0.0
• version 1.0.1 has tag v1.0.1

and so on.

Additionally, another tag with for the release major version should always track the latest release, ie:

• v1 should point to the same point as the latest of v1.x.x tag
• v2 should point to the same point as the latest of v2.x.x tag

and so on. That was any backward compatibile changes to this action are automatically applied if a step uses v1 tag, for example.
