Usage

You can use this action in a GitHub Actions Workflow by a adding a YAML file under .github/workflows/ with the following content:

name: liferay-auto-upgrade
run-name: Liferay Auto Upgrade

on:
  schedule:
    # https://crontab.guru/every-monday
    - cron: '0 0 * * MON'

permissions:
  contents: write
  pull-requests: write

jobs:
  liferay-upgrade:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: lgdd/liferay-upgrade-action@v2
        with:
          java-distribution: 'zulu'
          java-version: '11'

In this example we run the every monday to follow Liferay weekly release schedule. Of course, you can change the frequency as well as the event list you want this action to be triggered by.

v2

In v1, the checkout step was done by default inside that action. Even if you could disable it with an input, it doesn't feel like a good practice to include that in a custom action.

So In v2 you need to add the checkout step first:

steps:
+     - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: lgdd/liferay-upgrade-action@v2
        with:
          java-distribution: 'zulu'
          java-version: '11'

If you were already using the checkout action in v1, you can now remove the input in v2:

steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: lgdd/liferay-upgrade-action@v2
        with:
          java-distribution: 'zulu'
          java-version: '11'
-         checkout: false
