GitHub Action. Deploy to OpenShift using templates. Runs route verification. Most of the heavy lifting here is done in template configuration.
Testing has only been done with public containers on ghcr.io (GitHub Container Registry) so far.

### Required
# OpenShift template file
file: frontend/openshift.deploy.yml
# OpenShift project/namespace
oc_namespace: abc123-dev
# OpenShift server
oc_server: https://api.silver.devops.gov.bc.ca:6443
# OpenShift token
# Usually available as a secret in your project/namespace
oc_token: ${{ secrets.OC_TOKEN }}
# Overwrite objects using `oc apply` or only create with `oc create`
# Expected errors from `oc create` are handled with `set +o pipefail`
overwrite: "true"
### Typical / recommended
# Override GitHub default oc version
oc_version: "4.13"
# Template parameters/variables to pass
parameters: -p ZONE=${{ github.event.number }}
# Run a command after OpenShift deployment and any verifications
# Useful for cronjobs and migrations
post_rollout: oc create job "thing-$(date +%s)" --from=cronjob/thing
# Timeout seconds, only affects the OpenShift deployment (apply/create)
# Default = "15m"
timeout: "15m"
# Bash array to diff for build triggering
# Optional, defaults to nothing, which forces a build
triggers: ('frontend/')
# Sets the health path to be used during deployment verification, does not require the '/' at the begining
# Builds a health verification URL, form: <route_via_template>/<verifidation_path>
verification_path: ""
# Number of times to attempt deployment verification
verification_retry_attempts: "3"
# Seconds to wait between deployment verification attempts
verification_retry_seconds: "10"
### Usually a bad idea / not recommended
# Delete completed deployer and job pods?
# Defaults to true
delete_completed: true
# Overrides the default branch to diff against
# Defaults to the default branch, usually `main`
diff_branch: ${{ github.event.repository.default_branch }}
# Repository to clone and process
# Useful for consuming other repos, defaults to the current one
repository: ${{ github.repository }}
### Deprecated / will fail and provide directions
# All penetration tests have been deprecated in favour of scheduled jobs or even workflow_dispatch
# Please see https://github.com/zaproxy/action-full-scan for the source of the upstream action

Deploy and run a command (post hook). Matrix values reference post_rollout
, overwrite
and triggers
, despite not being present for all deployments. This is acceptable, but unintuitive behaviour.

The action will return a boolean (true|false) of whether a deployment has been triggered. It can be useful for follow-up tasks, like verifying job success.

Deployment templates are parsed for a route. If found, those routes are verified with a curl command for status code 200 (success). This ensures that applications are accessible from outside their OpenShift namespace/project.
