Support for edge-functions about actions-netlify

[das-monki]

No luck with this action, but haven't tried much. In the end I moved away from using this action and instead use the netlify-cli directly. Worked on first try, and I can use the same command locally.

The step I use to deploy:

    - name: Deploy to Netlify
      env:
        NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN }}
        NETLIFY_SITE_ID: ${{ secrets.NETLIFY_SITE_ID_CHECKOUT }}
      run: "npm install -g netlify-cli && npx netlify deploy --prod --message \"${{ github.event.head_commit.message }}\""

Just checking to see if you'd had any luck with this? I've pointed to my edge_functions in the netlify.toml (and the pointed the action to this), but no luck getting Netlify to pick them up.

If I use Netlify's built in GH integration, they work great, but we have some GH voodoo to do first (merging content from a couple of repos) before we deploy our website fully, so need to deploy via GH Actions.

Thanks, I ended up going for a different approach of using GitHub actions to handle the repo merging we needed to do, then committing/pushing that to a dedicated live branch and then use Netlify's native GH integration to pull

Cool you found a way! For reference, this is the complete workflow that I use. This is part of a mono-repo, so I switch the directory in the start to the one I want to deploy. Just including it to promote nix.. 🤓

name: "Build & Deploy App to Netlify"
on:
  pull_request:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
jobs:
  build-and-deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    defaults:
      run:
        working-directory: ./app
    if: "contains(github.event.head_commit.message, '[release app]') || contains(github.event.head_commit.message, '[release all]')"
    steps:
    - name: Checking out the repository
      uses: actions/checkout@v3
      with:
        fetch-depth: 0
    - name: Installing Nix
      uses: cachix/install-nix-action@v18
      with:
        nix_path: nixpkgs=channel:nixos-unstable
    - name: Build the app
      uses: workflow/[email protected]
      with:
        packages: jdk11,nodePackages.npm,nodejs
        script: |
          npm ci
          npm run release -w app
    - name: Deploy to Netlify
      env:
        NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN }}
        NETLIFY_SITE_ID: ${{ secrets.NETLIFY_SITE_ID_CHECKOUT }}
      run: "npm install -g netlify-cli && npx netlify deploy --prod --message \"${{ github.event.head_commit.message }}\""

https://github.com/netlify/actions/tree/master/cli uses netlify-cli inside. It is netlify official.

It is netlify official.

I had tried it, but just kept hitting limitations of what I needed, and errors, e.g. can't run the build command on a nested directory using that Action.
