The CI for the library should offer a repository dispatch

At the moment whenever changes are made in the IoT Agent Node library in this repo here, they are not witnessed downstream until a new build is triggered. The CI for this repo should offer a trigger to the IoT Agents whenever code is successfully merged into master. An exisiting GitHub Action can already do this provided that a PAT token is added a a secret within this repository. You'll need something like:

jobs:
  build:
    # Main workflow job that builds, tests, etc.

  dispatch:
    if: github.event_name == 'pull_request' && github.event.action == 'closed' && github.event.pull_request.merged == true
    strategy:
      matrix:
        repo: ['telefonicaid/iotagent-json, 'telefonicaid/iotagent-ul, 'telefonicaid/iotagent-lightweightm2m-iotagent']
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Repository Dispatch
        uses: peter-evans/repository-dispatch@v1
        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.REPO_ACCESS_TOKEN }}
          repository: ${{ matrix.repo }}
          event-type: iot-agent-node-lib

Each of the IoT Agents CI could then be altered to handle both a manual trigger and the iot-agent-node-lib event e.g.:

name: CI
'on':
  push:
    branches:
      - master
  pull_request:
    branches:
      - master
  repository_dispatch:
    types:
      - iot-agent-node-lib
  workflow_dispatch:

This would avoid nasty discoveries if any downstream project is relying on something it shouldn't.

GitHub has auto-close this issue, but maybe is wiser to let it opened while we can check that the system is working

Even better would be to close it after we've got dispatch working with FIWARE/iotagent-isoxml - I guess you'll need a FIWARE PAT (with minimal rights) from me right? Assuming TEF can dispatch to FF, this should also be extended to informing ATOS (for the LoRaWAN IoT Agent)

No problem in adding additional token as tokens in this repo... however, how this could be managed in ci.yml? What we have now is:

        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.REPO_ACCESS_TOKEN }}
          repository: ${{ matrix.repo }}
          event-type: iot-agent-node-lib

But I understand more of these secrets.xxxx should be added there (i.e. REPO_ACCESS_TOKEN_FF, REPO_ACCESS_TOKEN_ATOS, etc.).

IOTAManager was missing. The following PRs cover it:

• Add repository_dispatch iotagent-manager#254
• ADD missing repository to dispach list #1104

Not sure if the system is working properly... Just after merging PR #1104 CI actions we can see at https://github.com/telefonicaid/iotagent-node-lib/runs/3598938988?check_suite_focus=true

So it seems the dispatch job has not been executed.

In fact, if we see for instance iotagent-ul actions (https://github.com/telefonicaid/iotagent-ul/actions) we can si last action was 2 hours ago...

Any clue?

There is something wrong with the if

if: github.event_name == 'pull_request' && github.event.action == 'closed' && github.event.pull_request.merged == true

The test run didn't include that filter.

[jason-fox]

It looks like github.event.pull_request.merged has changed - its now just a github.event_name == 'push'

if: ${{ github.ref == 'refs/heads/master' }}

or

if: ${{ github.ref == 'refs/heads/master'  && github.event_name == 'push' }}

should be sufficient

Done in PR #1105

Much better now (https://github.com/telefonicaid/iotagent-node-lib/actions/runs/12339361849)

:)

In the https://github.com/telefonicaid/iotagent-ul/actions page we see a lib-update job:

So it seems it works!
