trigger-branch-ci

Dispatches the ci.yml (or ci.yaml) workflow for each branch in a supplied list. Used after commercial branch initialization to kick off a first CI run on every non-default branch that was set up.

What it does

For each branch in non-default-branches the action tries to dispatch ci.yml via gh workflow run. If ci.yml is not found it falls back to ci.yaml. If neither file exists on the branch, or the workflow does not have a workflow_dispatch trigger, the action fails with an error message.

An empty or [] branch list is a no-op — the action exits successfully without dispatching anything.

Inputs

Name Required Description
non-default-branches yes JSON array of branch names to dispatch CI for (e.g. ["3.3.x","4.3.x"])
repository yes Repository to dispatch workflows in (org/repo-name)
token yes GitHub token with actions: write permission on the repository

Usage

- name: Trigger CI for non-default branches
  uses: spring-cloud/spring-cloud-github-actions/.github/actions/trigger-branch-ci@main
  with:
    repository: spring-cloud/spring-cloud-foo-commercial
    non-default-branches: '["3.3.x","4.2.x"]'
    token: ${{ secrets.GH_ACTIONS_REPO_TOKEN }}

The non-default-branches value is typically produced by the determine-matrix action or constructed from the output of a prior step.
