Adding examples

Copy another example that is similar to what you'd like to add. If you don't know which to pick, try the terraform-directory.

  1. Update your example's readme file with the required steps.
  2. Run npm run examples:generate_tests to generate tests for your example.
  3. Follow updating the golden files to update the test output, review the new additions/changes to ensure they are what you expect for your example.
  4. Update the repo readme, the examples readme and your new example's readme with the description of the example.
  5. Send a pull request and wait for an Infracost team member to review it.

Testing examples

Examples are tested by extracting them from the README.md files into a GitHub Actions workflow.

To extract the examples, the npm run examples:generate_tests script loops through the example directories, reads the READMEs and extracts any YAML code blocks between the markdown comment markers:

[//]: <> (BEGIN EXAMPLE)
```yml
name: My Example
on: [pull_request]

jobs:
  my_example:
    ...
```
[//]: <> (END EXAMPLE)

The examples are then modified in two ways:

  1. Use local paths for any Infracost actions, e.g. replace uses: infracost/actions/setup@v3 with ./setup.
  2. Replace any infracost/actions/comment steps with steps to generate and test the content of the comment using golden files from the ./testdata directory.

All the examples are then added to the examples_test GitHub Actions workflow as separate jobs.

The script that handles extracting and modifying the examples is ./scripts/generateExamplesTest.js

Testing locally

You can test the examples locally with act. To install on Mac OS X:

brew install act

Install packages:

npm install

Setup required environment variables

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env to add any required environment variables.

Then run (with act, select the Medium size image):

npm run examples:test

Updating the golden files

You can update the golden files for the examples by running:

export GITHUB_TOKEN=<GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN>
npm run examples:update_golden

Releases

One of the Infracost team members should follow these steps to release this repo:

  1. git checkout master && git pull origin master
  2. git tag vX.Y.Z && git push origin vX.Y.Z (following semantic versioning)
  3. git tag -f v2 && git push origin v2 -f (assuming the new release is backward compatible with v1)
  4. Confirm that the repo tags show matching git SHAs for vX.Y.X and v2.
  5. Create a release for v.X.Y.Z and publish it in the GitHub Marketplace.
