    • Remove ccache parts
    • Run nightly builds also on main branch

  • Instead of using an exact version tag, the core GHA actions are now referenced using a dynamic major version tag (e.g. v2 instead of v2.3.4). This includes an update of the templates to the latest revision date 2021-06-26.
  • do_pkgdown() macro now also builds the site on on branches containing the word cran. This adds support for the {fledge} release mechanism when using both a development and release site (#303)

  • update actions/checkout to v2.3.1
  • update pat-s/always-upload-cache to v2.1.0

Features

  • update_yaml(): Account for duplicated env vars when a custom env var masks a template env var
  • use_tic_badge(): Update tic badge and default action name (#269)
  • Installing and using ccache for faster source package installation is now optional. While using ccache can help a lot for installing large dependency chains of certain packages, it also adds substantial overhead to builds for small packages. It is now optional and needs to be added as a custom block to builds. (#264)
  • Add step_session_info(). This step prints the session info after having installed all dependencies in the “install” stage. (#259)
  • step_install_deps() and do_package_checks() gain dependencies = TRUE argument.
  • New use_update_tic(): Adds GitHub Actions workflow update-tic.yml to automatically update tic YAML templates
  • Support fully custom runner matrices on GitHub Actions via template types "custom" and ´“custom-deploy”`
  • New gha_add_secret() to automate the process of adding a GitHub PAT to a repo as a secret. This function will probably be move to {ghactions} in the future.

Bugfixes

  • Remove alert in steps-install.R (#263)

tic 0.8.0.9000

  • Add argument force to step_do_push_deploy() for adding the --force flag to git calls
  • Add solutions to {rgl} installation issues to FAQ
  • Update .R/Makevars

CI Provider specific

Macros

CI Provider specific

GitHub Actions

  • use_*_yml(): Set defaults for argument type.
  • Fix GHA build URL and prettify deploy message (#247)
  • Adjust GH Actions templates to use the use_*_yml() logic (#246)
  • Bugfix: Packages on R-devel macOS are being installed in parallel again.

R 4.0 toolchain

  • GitHub Actions: R-devel on macOS now uses Apples default clang compiler and the 10.13 SDK (High Sierra) to mimic the CRAN toolchain behavior. (The 10.15 SKD causes various issues when installing packages from source.)
  • Env var SDKROOT is now set to /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk to prevent linking issues on macOS >= 10.15.4

tic 0.6.0.9002

  • do_blogdown() and do_bookdown() gain argument cname, making it possible to pass a CNAME URL for deployments. This is useful when setting one sets orphan = TRUE and relies on a custom URL of the published content (otherwise the redirect would not work)
  • Add a better general intro about CI and explain some general CI terms (fixes #234)

tic 0.6.0.9001

tic 0.6.0.9000

  • Same as previous version.

tic 0.6.0

General

  • use_badge: Refactor to use default badges from the respective providers rather than from shields.io (too slow and sometimes badges did not render at all) (#240)
  • Condition deployment templates on a single runner for deployment. This avoids race conditions during deployment. This applies to all CI providers and templates (blogdown, bookdown, package) (#241)
  • Files specified for deployment via step_push_deploy(commit_paths = ) are now force added to the index by git. This enables to add directories like docs/ (e.g. created by a local pkgdown build) to .gitignore and still deploy it during CI (#237).

CI Provider specific

GitHub Actions

  • GitHub Actions: Always use option ‘–no-manual’ on Windows because LaTeX is not available (because it takes ages to install)
  • step_rcmdcheck(): Test in directory “check” to simplify upload of artifacts
  • Set cron job to 4am to avoid potential download issues with R-devel on macOS
  • Github Actions: Only deploy on R-release on macOS by default.

tic 0.5.0.9003

  • Files specified for deployment via step_push_deploy(commit_paths = ) are now force added to the index by git. This enables to add directories like docs/ (e.g. created by a local pkgdown build) to .gitignore and still deploy it during CI (#237).

Github Actions

  • Set cron job to 4am to avoid potential download issues with R-devel on macOS

tic 0.5.0.9000

  • Same as previous version.

tic 0.5.0

  • No longer using a separate library for package checks, because it causes a lot of problems with various steps which are not aware of this (#86, #88).
  • Packages coming with the R-installation are not updated anymore when preparing step_rcmdcheck(). See ?step_rcmdcheck() for detailed info. (#103)

tic 0.2.13.9004

tic 0.2.13.9003

  • Added integration tests for package checks and deployment, covering various common cases (#62).
  • Add integration test for deploying from a subdirectory.
  • Remove orphan argument from step_push_deploy(), because there’s no easy way to implement it reliably. If only a subdirectory is deployed to a separate branch (i.e., the path argument is set), orphan = TRUE is required.

  • Support environment variables from both Travis and AppVeyor (#6).
  • Add tests.
  • Rudimentary support for multiple CI systems.
  • Clean up dependencies.

tic 0.2 (2016-11-05)

Initial release.

  • Rudimentary configuration based on task objects. A task object is a list/environment which contains at least the members check(), prepare() and run() – functions without arguments, only check() needs to return a logical scalar. These can be subclasses of the new TravisTask R6 class, the package now contains six subclasses: HelloWorld, RunCovr, BuildPkgdown, InstallSSHKeys, TestSSH, and PushDeploy. The new methods of theses subclasses are exported as task_hello_world(), task_run_covr(), task_build_pkgdown() task_install_ssh_keys(), task_test_ssh(), and task_push_deploy(), respectively. The three functions before_script(), after_success() and deploy() accept a semicolon-separated list of task objects, which is by default taken from the TIC_AFTER_SUCCESS_TASKS and TIC_DEPLOY_TASKS environment variables. These functions call the prepare() and run() methods of the task objects if and only if the check() method returns TRUE (#42).
