Events that can trigger workflows

In such configuration workflow can be executed in the same time twice for two separate events.

It can occurs when we create PR for branch from the same repository, we have two events:

• push on branch
• pull_request on PR for the same branch

In order to minimize resource consumptions shared workflow from version v2 detect such situation and skips the execution for pull_request event if PR is created for local branch.

Only workflow for PR from external forks will be executed.

Breaking changes in V3

• replace maven_version by maven-matrix and ff-maven
• rename maven_args to maven-args
• remove not used verify-site-goal

Additional configurations

Attach logs on failure

We can store some logs of execution in case of failure as workflow attachments:

...
    uses: apache/maven-gh-actions-shared/.github/workflows/maven-verify.yml@v4
    with:
      failure-upload-path: |
        **/target/surefire-reports/*

Excludes from build matrix:

...
    uses: apache/maven-gh-actions-shared/.github/workflows/maven-verify.yml@v4
    with:
      matrix-exclude: >
        [ 
          {"jdk": "8"},   # exclude jdk 8 from all builds
          {"os": "windows-latest"}, # exclude windows from all builds
          {"jdk": "8", "os": "windows-latest"} # exclude jkd 8 on windows
        ]

Change default goals

...
    uses: apache/maven-gh-actions-shared/.github/workflows/maven-verify.yml@v4
    with:
      ff-goal: 'install'
      verify-goal: 'install -P run-its'

Testing against different Maven versions

...
    uses: apache/maven-gh-actions-shared/.github/workflows/maven-verify.yml@v4
    with:
      ff-maven: "3.8.6"                     # Maven version for fail-fast-build
      maven-matrix: '[ "3.2.5", "3.8.6" ]'  # Maven versions matrix for verify builds

Testing with Maven 4

...
    uses: apache/maven-gh-actions-shared/.github/workflows/maven-verify.yml@v4
    with:
      maven4-enabled: true
      maven4-version: 'xxx'    # only needed if you want to override default
      verify-goal: 'verify'    # only needed if project doesn't have a run-its profile

Disable matrix build - only fail-fast build

...
    uses: apache/maven-gh-actions-shared/.github/workflows/maven-verify.yml@v4
    with:
      matrix-enabled: false
