experience-update-trigger

Cronjob that runs a bash script when a Roblox experience has been updated.

Useful for for example triggering your CI pipelines after builders save their progress.

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Or, if your host machine supports cron: bash, coreutils, curl and jq (of which some may have been installed by default).

Installation

1. Copy .env.example to .env and enter the fields. If you're going to use the trigger_github_actions action, uncomment all those variables. See the GitHub Docs for what each variable entails.
2. To build the Docker image, execute:

   docker build . -t experience-update-trigger
   

3. To run the built image in a container, execute:

   docker run --env-file .env experience-update-trigger <ACTION_NAME>
   

   With ACTION_NAME being the name of the script in actions you want the cronjob to run when an update has been detected. This defaults to trigger_github_actions

Note

The cronjob also triggers on AutoSaves.

If in the future I find a better endpoint that for example includes information about when a game has lastly been published, this project could be improved to using that. If you happen to know such endpoint on the Roblox API, feel free to open an issue!
