v4

v4

• Run the user-defined commands in the context of your App's root directory instead of Repo's root directory. Refer to Running User Defined Commands Before Generating the final App Build for more details.

• to_make_permission_changes parameter's default value has been changed to false. Refer to Avoid File and Folder Permission Issue on Your App Build for more details.

  • Automatic file permission changes now also add executable permissions to the following file extensions, .msi, .exe, .cmd, .bat, along with .sh.

• The input parameters is_generate_build and app_build_path has been removed.

Upgrade Guide from v3 to v4

• From v4 of the splunk-app-action, your user-defined custom command (Refer to Running User Defined Commands Before Generating the final App Build section) would run in the context of your App's folder instead of the root folder.

  • So you need to change the code from this:

    - uses: VatsalJagani/splunk-app-action@v3
      env:
        SPLUNK_APP_ACTION_1: "rm -rf my_app/extra_test_folder"
        SPLUNK_APP_ACTION_2: "cat 'abc,123' >> my_app/lookups/my_custom_lookup.csv"
      with:
        app_dir: "my_app"
    

    • to

    - uses: VatsalJagani/splunk-app-action@v3
      env:
        SPLUNK_APP_ACTION_1: "rm -rf extra_test_folder"
        SPLUNK_APP_ACTION_2: "cat 'abc,123' >> lookups/my_custom_lookup.csv"
      with:
        app_dir: "my_app"
    

    • Because this command would now run in context of your App's directory.

• to_make_permission_changes - default value has been changed to false from true. This means if you were to apply file and folder permission changes automatically, you have to explicitly add this parameter to your workflow. Refer to Avoid File and Folder Permission Issue on Your App Build for more details.

• The input parameters is_generate_build and app_build_path have been removed from GitHub action from v4 onwards, hence if you are using them then migrate the action config properly before the version update.

v3

What's Changed

• use_ucc_gen parameter added to support UCC build Add-on support. (It uses ucc-gen build command to generate the build dynamically on the GitHub action directly.)
• Added new utility ucc_additional_packaging for better way to generate proper Python Input handler file structure.
• Better way to Auto detect App package id, App version number and App build number.
• Better naming convention for App and Add-on build names.
• Run App utilities on current branch instead of on default branch for better support and easier to deal with in codebase.
• Automatically delete unwanted files from the build to avoid App inspect check issues.
