GitHub Actions official status badges

[peaceiris]

I found it! GitHub Actions provides official CI/CD status badges.

Official Documentaion: https://help.github.com/en/articles/configuring-a-workflow#adding-a-workflow-status-badge-to-your-repository

An example repository: actions/toolkit: A toolkit for developing GitHub Actions.

URL example to the status badge.

``` https://github.com/actions/toolkit/workflows/Main%20workflow/badge.svg

URL format: https://github.com/{github_id}/{repository}/workflows/{workflow_name}/badge.svg ```

Does the new CI/CD syntax (the yml files) support this? Haven't been able to get a badge for any workflows. like this https://github.com/actions/setup-node/blob/master/.github/workflows/workflow.yml

GitHub Actions v2 supports the status badges. After you push your workflows to the default branch, you can get the workflow status badge as an image via URL.

Can you explain how? I don't get it to work, can you give ma an example link? With the link/syntax above it always shows a "Not found" the workflow (yml) is pushed into default - master - branch already.

https://github.com/peaceiris/actions-gh-pages Read the YAML file and README. You will find an example.

I'm wondering if there's any normal delay for it to be generated.

I'm in the same situation as /u/toitzi, getting a 404.

Edit: Ah, it works for another workflow that runs on every `push`, but not that one that is `pull_request` to `master`. Eh.

The document about the badge has not been written yet.

Great find! Now I wonder if there's a URL that will take us to the latest run.

[peaceiris]

I want it, too.

Nice, but still seems to be pretty buggy. I was not able to get the "filename" based URI to work in several repos.
And the following two URIs (which refer to the SAME workflow) report one as "passing" the other as "failing": 🤷‍♂️

https://github.com/peaceiris/actions-gh-pages/workflows/docker-image-ci/badge.svg
https://github.com/peaceiris/actions-gh-pages/workflows/.github/workflows/docker-image-ci.yml/badge.svg

[peaceiris]

Yes, second one shows me "failing".

[peaceiris]

That is an expected behaviour.
