Right now, we post such comments whenever a file has been touched that
could potentially have affected the docs. Since the API docs are built
from comments in the source code, almost all non-docs changes are
generating such preview comments, even though most of the time they are
irrelevant to the author and create unnecessary noise on the PR
(especially for actively worked-on PRs).
This commit removes the `team` GitHub team from the list of teams whose
members will automatically get preview comments.
(Adding the `aio: preview` label would still work on any PR.)
Jira: FW-967
PR Close#28211
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.
Now instead of pushing the AIO build artifacts to the preview server
from inside a Travis job, the artifacts are built and hosted on the
CircleCI infrastructure. The preview server will then pull these
down after being triggered by a CircleCI build webhook.
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.
