Sync your Spotify to Slack status

#actionshackathon21

This is a an open-source project that serves as both website as well as a backend for Slack app that synchronizes Spotify song to your Slack status.

My Workflow

GitHub workflow master.yml:

Workflow sets up appropriate environment using actions/checkout and actions/setup-java.
After that the gradle packages are cached via actions/cache@v2
Gradle properties file is read via christian-draeger/read-properties, so that final deployment file can inherit proper semantic version
Once the build is finished and the final zip file is generated, artifact is deployed to AWS beanstalk via einaregilsson/beanstalk-deploy. AWS credentials are passed via Github secrets

As a result, workflow deploys a new version of the application to AWS beanstalk as soon as a change is detected on master branch.

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Set up JDK 11
        uses: actions/setup-java@v1
        with:
          java-version: 11.0.4
      - name: Cache Gradle packages
        uses: actions/cache@v2
        with:
          path: ~/.gradle/caches
          key: ${{ runner.os }}-gradle-${{ hashFiles('**/*.gradle') }}
          restore-keys: ${{ runner.os }}-gradle
      - name: Grant execute permission for gradlew
        run: chmod +x gradlew
      - name: Build with Gradle
        run: ./gradlew build
      - name: Read baseVersion from gradle.properties
        id: read_artifact_version
        uses: christian-draeger/read-properties@1.0.1
        with:
          path: './gradle.properties'
          property: 'baseVersion'

      - name: Generate deployment package
        run: zip -j spotmystatus.zip backend/build/libs/spotmystatus-${{ steps.read_artifact_version.outputs.value }}.jar backend/Procfile && cd backend && zip -r ../spotmystatus.zip .ebextensions .platform
      - name: Deploy to AWS Beanstalk
        uses: einaregilsson/beanstalk-deploy@v13
        with:
          aws_access_key: ${{ secrets.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID }}
          aws_secret_key: ${{ secrets.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}
          application_name: SpotMyStatus
          environment_name: spotmystatus-environment
          version_label: ${{ steps.read_artifact_version.outputs.value }}-${{ github.run_id }}-${{ github.run_number }}
          use_existing_version_if_available: false
