There several reasons why PRs cannot have (public) previews:
- The PR did not affect any relevant files (e.g. non-spec files in
`aio/` or `packages/`).
- The PR cannot be automatically verified as "trusted" (based on its
author or labels).
Note:
The endpoint does not check whether there currently is a (public)
preview for the specified PR; only whether there can be one.
PR Close#25671
Previously, Travis pushed the build artitfacts to the preview server.
This required us to use JWT to secure the POST request from Travis, to
ensure we couldn't receive malicious builds.
JWT has been deprecated and we are moving our builds to CircleCI.
This commit rewrites the TypeScript part of the preview server that
handles converting build artifact into hosted previews of the docs.
Use the 7 first characters of the 40-chars long SHAs for shorter/cleaner URLs.
The collision probability is extremely low (since all SHAs are further
"namespaced" under the corresponding PR). In case of a collision, the second PR
will not be deployed, in order to avoid overwriting the original build.
(This is a design decision to keep the implementation simple. It can be changed
later if necessary.)
The previous clean-up code for PR directories on the preview server assumed that
all directories were named after the PR number. With the changes introduced
in #17640 it is possible to have PR directories that do not follow that naming
convention (e.g. "non-public" directories).
This PR ensures that both public and non-public directories are removed when
cleaning up.
