upload-artifact VS execa

upload-artifact

Here, the concept of "upload" is a little confusing. What the GitHub action upload-artifact does is to "copy" the jar file to a publicly accessible folder.

The content of the build destination folder folder needs is saved and transferred to the following jobs in the workflow. We do this with the Github actions actions/upload-artifact

The action for uploading the artifact doesn't do too much, but it takes care of all the nuance around GitHub Pages artifacts specifically. You can view the action's source here. It will tar the path (provided by the with option) and then call the upload artifact action. The artifact's name is github-pages and has a 1 day expiration. This artifact has the name and format required for the deploy action. It all just works (so far).

Notice that already known commands like flutter pub get and flutter build apk (apk in case of Android; aab in case of iOS) now it shows up on our workflow. But, to upload the generated app file (artifact), we'll need to use the action upload-artifact@v1 and parse the build path which it will be storing the app file.

So the uploading will likely be done by upload artifact. Then you'll likely want to use a matrix build/package your tool across different OS's.

Artifacts are files like APKs, screenshots, test reports, logs, which the workflow generates. You can upload and download artifacts to the current workflow using actions/upload-artifact@v2 and actions/download-artifact@v2 respectively.

I’m partial to Sindre Sorhus’ execa, this document outlines the differences:

Yeah, or over https://github.com/sindresorhus/execa?

And given the existence of those npm packages, is there any aspect of Bun Shell that required it to be built into the Bun runtime instead of published to npm?

For something which works across all JS runtimes (Deno, Node) and achieves basically the same, check out the popular JS library Execa[1]. Works like a charm!

To simplify the process of running the commands, I will use execa - abstraction library on top of Node.js child_process methods.

Hello, this is an interesting problem. At https://stacktape.com (where we're creating a developer-friendly abstraction of AWS), we're recommending 2 options: - use a "deployment script" (basically a custom-resource lambda function that runs during the CloudFormation deployment). You can install prisma into it, and then execute the migration command from the lambda function using something like execa, if you're using Javascript/Typescript. You can easily do this with Stacktape anytime. - use a bastion (EC2) instance (deployed to the the VPC where your RDS db is). The cheapest instances cost ~4.5$/month, so it shoudln't be too costly. You can also securely connect to it using EC2 instance connect, that leverages IAM to grant permissions to connect to it. (this is something we're currently implementing as Stacktape, and will be ready in ~2 weeks).

For FE, it’s usually Cypress or Playwright; for BE, it’s to run a server and start sending requests; for CLI, I like the tool called execa.

Since version 6 execa is pure ES module. An attempt to import a package into NestJS project results in an error:

Essentially when I run this from my shell I get a listing of keymaps configured for vim. However, when I run it from a program without a PTY or TTY (e.g., via Rust's Command or Node's execa) I get an exit code of 0 and no output.
