This commit introduces the ability to show previews for PRs by any author. It works as follows:
- The build artifacts of all PRs are uploaded to the preview server.
- Automatically verified PRs (i.e. from trusted authors or having a specific label) are deployed and
publicly accessible as usual.
- PRs that could not be automatically verified are stored for later use (after re-verification).
- A PR can be marked as "trusted" and make its preview publicly accessible by adding the GitHub
label specified in the `AIO_TRUSTED_PR_LABEL` env var of the preview server.
At the moment, there is no automatic mechanism for notifying the preview server about changes to the
PR's verification status. The PR's "visibility" will be checked and updated every time a new build
is uploaded.
Previously, `aio/aio-builds-setup/scripts/travis-preverify-pr.sh` was supposed
to exit with 1 if a PR did not meet the preconditions and 2 if an error occurred
during pre-verification.
It relied on the exit codes of the node script that did the actual work, but
didn't account for errors that would be thrown in the `sh` script itself (e.g.
if the node script was not available). This caused such errors to appear as
non-verified PRs, instead of real errors that should fail the build.
This commit swaps the exit codes, so that now a 2 means non-verified PR and 1
designates an error.
Previously, only a few characters of the SHA would appear on the preview link
comment posted on the PR. This was usually enough for GitHub to create a link to
the corresponding commit, but it was possible to have collisions with other
commits with the same first characters (which prevented GitHub from identifying
the correct commit and create a link.)
This commit fixes this issue by including the full SHA on the commentso GitHub
can identify the correct commit and create the link. GitHub will automatically
truncate the link text (by default to 7 chars unless more are necessary to
uniquely identify the commit).
Previously, when trying to upload the build artifacts for a PR/SHA that was
already successfully deployed (e.g. when re-running a Travis job), the preview
server would return a 403 and the build would fail.
Since we have other mechanisms to verify that the PR author is trusted and the
artifacts do indeed come from the specified PR and since the new artifacts
should be the same with the already deployed ones (same SHA), there is no reason
to fail the build. The preview server will reject the request with a special
HTTP status code (409 - Conflict), which the `deploy-preview` script will
recognize and exit with 0.
This reverts commit d0bc83ca27.
Protractor-based prerendering is flakey on Travis and takes several minutes to
complete, slowing down the build. Prerendering has a lower impact now that we
use a ServiceWorker. We will revisit in the future (probably using a
`PlatformServer`-based approach).
