github actions CI

[jcharnley]

what github action do you use if you recommend that percy/cli works out the box..., I need to execute the command to run percy and testing script somewhere from a yaml file ran by github actions?

"Now you can run your tests with Percy (typically percy exec -- [test command]) and send builds to Percy from CI"

I need to use my percy-start npm script to do that, and the only way is via run command in a github action is that correct?

https://github.com/marketplace/actions/percy states it runs out the box. confused

Hey @jcharnley! You would setup your GitHub action config how you normally would to run tests in CI. For example:

name: CI
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@master
      - name: Install
        run: yarn
      - name: Percy Test
        run: npx percy exec -- [your-test-command]
        env:
          PERCY_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.PERCY_TOKEN }}

That's what it means -- you no longer need special Percy action for the branch and commit SHA to be picked up. There's no action needed -- just run the CLI command in CI
