I recently created this post trying to figure out how to reference GitHub Secrets in a GitHub action. I believe I got that solved & figured out and I'm onto a different issue.
Below is a sample of the workflow code as of right now, the issue I need help with is the Create and populate .Renviron file
part.
on: [push, pull_request]
name: CI-CD
jobs:
CI-CD:
runs-on: ${{ matrix.config.os }}
name: ${{ matrix.config.os }} (${{ matrix.config.r }})
strategy:
# we keep a matrix for convenience, but we would typically just run on one
# single OS and R version, aligned with the target deployment environment
matrix:
config:
- {os: ubuntu-20.04, r: 'release', rspm: "https://packagemanager.rstudio.com/cran/__linux__/focal/latest"}
env:
# Enable RStudio Package Manager to speed up package installation
RSPM: ${{ matrix.config.rspm }}
# Access token for GitHub
GITHUB_PAT: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
steps:
- name: Checkout repo
uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Setup R
uses: r-lib/actions/setup-r@v1
with:
r-version: ${{ matrix.config.r }}
- name: Install system dependencies
run: |
while read -r cmd
do
eval sudo $cmd
done < <(Rscript -e 'writeLines(remotes::system_requirements("ubuntu", "20.04"))')
- name: Install R dependencies
run: |
remotes::install_deps(dependencies = TRUE)
remotes::install_cran("rcmdcheck")
shell: Rscript {0}
- name: Create and populate .Renviron file
env:
AWS_HOST: ${{ secrets.AWS_HOST }}
AWS_PORT: ${{ secrets.AWS_PORT }}
AWS_PW: ${{ secrets.AWS_PW }}
AWS_USER: ${{ secrets.AWS_USER }}
DBNAME: ${{ secrets.DBNAME }}
run: |
touch .Renviron
echo aws_host="$AWS_HOST" >> .Renviron
echo aws_port="$AWS_PORT" >> .Renviron
echo aws_pw="$AWS_PW" >> .Renviron
echo aws_user="$AWS_USER" >> .Renviron
echo dbname="$DBNAME" >> .Renviron
ls ${{ github.workspace }}
shell: bash
- name: Deploy to shinyapps.io
# continuous deployment only for pushes to the main / master branch
if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main' || github.ref == 'refs/heads/master'
env:
SHINYAPPS_ACCOUNT: ${{ secrets.SHINYAPPS_ACCOUNT }}
SHINYAPPS_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SHINYAPPS_TOKEN }}
SHINYAPPS_SECRET: ${{ secrets.SHINYAPPS_SECRET }}
run: Rscript deploy/deploy-shinyapps.R
I believe this .Renviron file is getting created, but I don't know where, and it certainly doesn't look like it's where the rest of the files are. I've tried a number of file path destinations, .Renviron
, ~/.Renviron
, $github.workspace/.Renviron
, /home/runner/work/NBA-Dashboard/NBA-Dashboard/.Renviron
, none of them work. After I create the file I list all of the contents of the workspace directory (which is where I want the file to be) and it's never listed there.
I need that .Renvrion file to be created & listed in that specific directory along with all of these other files so when I continue to the next step and use the rsconnect package to build & deploy my Shiny app it's able to include that file to retrieve environment variables correctly when someone uses the app.
I thought maybe there was some issue with .gitignore so I deleted .Renviron off of that ? But it didn't fix the issue. But ya if anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it!
The file is there where you expect to be
- name: Create and populate .Renviron file
env:
AWS_HOST: ${{ secrets.AWS_HOST }}
AWS_PORT: ${{ secrets.AWS_PORT }}
AWS_PW: ${{ secrets.AWS_PW }}
AWS_USER: ${{ secrets.AWS_USER }}
DBNAME: ${{ secrets.DBNAME }}
run: |
touch .Renviron
echo aws_host="$AWS_HOST" >> .Renviron
echo aws_port="$AWS_PORT" >> .Renviron
echo aws_pw="$AWS_PW" >> .Renviron
echo aws_user="$AWS_USER" >> .Renviron
echo dbname="$DBNAME" >> .Renviron
echo "cat .Renviron"
cat .Renviron
echo "ls -a ."
ls -a .
echo "ls -a ${{ github.workspace }}"
ls -a ${{ github.workspace }}
shell: bash
you need to run ls -a
to show hidden files.
Run touch .Renviron
touch .Renviron

echo aws_port="$AWS_PORT" >> .Renviron
echo aws_pw="$AWS_PW" >> .Renviron
echo aws_user="$AWS_USER" >> .Renviron
echo dbname="$DBNAME" >> .Renviron
echo "cat .Renviron"
cat .Renviron
echo "ls -a ."
ls -a .
echo "ls -a /home/runner/work/github-actions-manual/github-actions-manual"
ls -a /home/runner/work/github-actions-manual/github-actions-manual
