Update download releases to latest available

Download Release Action

This GitHub action updates meta releases, called download releases, to always provide the latest version for download.

Principle

The action scans for published non-draft releases with tags vX.Y.Z, find the latest for each major X version, and ensure the related download releases tagged download-latest_vX and download-latest refer to their latest versions. If not, it downloads the dd-java-agent.jar attachment from the latest version, upload it to the download releases and update their bodies to refer to their latest versions.

Usage

Add the action in your workflow as any other action:

jobs:
  update-download-release:
    name: Update download releases
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Update releases
        uses: DataDog/download-release-action@latest

The action has two inputs:

• github-token to provide a custom GitHub token (default ${{ github.token }}),
• debug to log all GitHub client calls (default false).

They can be configured with a with map:

- name: Update releases
  uses: DataDog/download-release-action@latest
  with:
    - github-token: ${{ env.MY_TOKEN }}
    - debug: true
