Testing the Nightly Release Workflow

Method 1: Fork Testing (Recommended)

  1. Create a fork of the Wails repository
  2. Push the workflow to your fork
  3. Test manually using workflow_dispatch
  4. Verify behavior without affecting main repo
# In your fork
git remote add upstream https://github.com/wailsapp/wails.git
git push origin master  # Push workflow to your fork

Method 2: Local Script Testing

Create local test scripts to validate the logic:

# Test changelog parsing
./test-changelog-extraction.sh

# Test version increment logic  
./test-version-logic.sh

# Test commit analysis
./test-commit-detection.sh

Method 3: Dry Run Workflow

Add a dry_run input parameter to test without creating releases:

workflow_dispatch:
  inputs:
    dry_run:
      description: 'Run in dry-run mode (no releases created)'
      default: true
      type: boolean

Method 4: Act (GitHub Actions Local Runner)

Use act to run GitHub Actions locally:

brew install act
act workflow_dispatch -W .github/workflows/nightly-releases.yml

Testing Checklist

  • Changelog parsing works correctly
  • Version increment logic is accurate
  • Conventional commit detection works
  • Release notes format properly
  • Authorization checks function
  • Branch handling (master vs v3-alpha)
  • Error handling and fallbacks
