| 1 | +# Determine Build Matrix Action |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +A composite GitHub Action that determines branches and JDK versions for Spring Cloud project builds based on centralized configuration. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Description |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +This action reads project configuration from `config/projects.json` in the spring-cloud-github-actions repository and generates a build matrix suitable for GitHub Actions matrix strategy. It supports: |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +- OSS and commercial repository variants |
| 10 | +- Per-project and default configurations |
| 11 | +- Scheduled builds (multiple branches) vs single-branch builds |
| 12 | +- JDK version mapping per branch |
| 13 | +- Detection of JDK 8 availability for deployment logic |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +## Requirements |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +- Runs on: `ubuntu-latest` (or any runner with `jq` available) |
| 18 | +- Requires: `jq` command-line JSON processor (pre-installed on GitHub-hosted runners) |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +## Inputs |

| 90 | +``` |
| 91 | +
|
| 92 | +### Using Additional Outputs |

| 111 | +
|
| 112 | +```yaml |
| 113 | +- name: Determine build matrix |
| 114 | + id: determine-matrix |
| 115 | + uses: ./.github/actions/determine-matrix |
| 116 | + with: |
| 117 | + repository: ${{ github.repository }} |
| 118 | + event-name: ${{ github.event_name }} |
| 119 | + ref-name: ${{ github.ref_name }} |
| 120 | + branch: ${{ inputs.branch }} |
| 121 | + config-ref: 'feature/new-config-structure' # Use feature branch config |
| 122 | +``` |
| 123 | +
|
| 124 | +## Configuration |
| 125 | +
|
| 126 | +The action reads configuration from `config/projects.json` in the spring-cloud-github-actions repository. The configuration structure is: |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +```json |
| 129 | +{ |
| 130 | + "project-name": { |
| 131 | + "oss": { |
| 132 | + "branches": { |
| 133 | + "scheduled": ["main", "3.3.x"], |
| 134 | + "default": ["main"] |
| 135 | + }, |
| 136 | + "jdkVersions": { |
| 137 | + "main": ["17", "21", "25"], |
| 138 | + "3.3.x": ["17", "21"], |
| 139 | + "default": ["17", "21", "25"] |
| 140 | + } |
| 141 | + }, |
| 142 | + "commercial": { |
| 143 | + "branches": { |
| 144 | + "scheduled": ["3.1.x"], |
| 145 | + "default": ["3.1.x"] |
| 146 | + }, |
| 147 | + "jdkVersions": { |
| 148 | + "3.1.x": ["8", "11", "17"], |
| 149 | + "default": ["17", "21"] |
| 150 | + } |
| 151 | + } |
| 152 | + }, |
| 153 | + "defaults": { |
| 154 | + "oss": { /* fallback config */ }, |
| 155 | + "commercial": { /* fallback config */ } |
| 156 | + } |
| 157 | +} |
| 158 | +``` |
| 159 | + |
| 160 | +## How It Works |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +1. **Repository Detection**: Extracts repository name and detects commercial vs OSS variant |
| 163 | +2. **Config Loading**: Checks out spring-cloud-github-actions repo and reads `config/projects.json` |
| 164 | +3. **Branch Determination**: |
| 165 | + - For scheduled runs: builds multiple branches from config |
| 166 | + - For other events: builds single branch (from input or ref-name) |
| 167 | +4. **JDK Mapping**: Maps each branch to its configured JDK versions |
| 168 | +5. **Matrix Generation**: Creates matrix entries for each branch + JDK combination |
| 169 | +6. **Additional Outputs**: Generates branches list and branch-jdk-mapping |
| 170 | + |
| 171 | +## Matrix Entry Format |
| 172 | + |
| 173 | +Each matrix entry contains: |
| 174 | +- `branch`: Branch name to build |
| 175 | +- `java-version`: JDK version to use |
| 176 | +- `has-jdk8`: Boolean indicating if this branch configuration includes JDK 8 |
| 177 | + |
| 178 | +The `has-jdk8` flag is used downstream to determine which builds should deploy artifacts and generate documentation (typically JDK 8 if available, otherwise JDK 17). |
| 179 | + |
