Workflow with @actions/github-script

This directory contains a simple workflow that uses @actions/github-script

Running tests

Without log file

npm test

With log file

ACT_LOG=true npm test

The above produces a log file called mock-api.log

Testing Strategy

1. Create a local git repository using mock-github and initialize it whatever files we need along with .github directory
2. Notice that @actions/github-script allows us to control the base url of the GitHub API by using the env variable GITHUB_API_URL
3. We will use setEnv("GITHUB_API_URL", "http://api.github.com") to downgrade the GitHub API base url to HTTP since HTTPS requests cannot be mocked.
4. Use act-js to run the workflow inside the local git repository and compare expected output. Make sure to mock the api using Moctokit by setting the base url for Moctokit to "http://api.github.com".
