In Gitlab and Bitbucket, we can add manual step in pipeline. is there any way we can do same thing in a Github action?
#.gitlab-ci.yml
destroy:
stage: destroy
script:
- [STEPS TO DESTROY]
when: manual
I want to run the integration-test job manually when creating a pull request targeting master, main and develop branch. The job static-code-analysis job should run automatically when creating a pull request targeting master, release*, develop or main.
#ci.yml
name: Pull Request
on:
pull_request:
branches:
- master
- release*
- develop
- main
workflow_dispatch:
jobs:
static-code-analysis:
runs-on: macos-latest
env:
SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL: ${{ secrets.SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL }}
steps:
- name: Checkout code
id: Checkout-code
uses: actions/checkout@v3
- name: Notify Slack
uses: act10ns/slack@v2
with:
channel: 's1-panel'
status: ${{ job.status }}
steps: ${{ toJson(steps) }}
if: always()
integration-test:
if: ${{ github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch' && (github.base_ref == 'main' || github.base_ref == 'master' || github.base_ref == 'develop') }}
runs-on: macos-latest
permissions: write-all
env:
SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL: ${{ secrets.SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL }}
steps:
- name: Checkout code
id: Checkout-code
uses: actions/checkout@v3
- name: Notify Slack
uses: act10ns/slack@v2

channel: 's1-panel'
status: ${{ job.status }}
steps: ${{ toJson(steps) }}
if: always()
I have tried using an if statement in the integration-test job as below:
if: ${{ github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch' && (github.base_ref == 'main' || github.base_ref == 'master' || github.base_ref == 'develop') }}
I created a pull request from branch testing to master. The workflow started and when I go to Github workflow and see integration-test job, it looks like this:
1
-
Configure pull_request trigger with the base branches
on: pull_request: types: [created] branches: [main,master,develop] -
Add environment to the job (no need to use if:)
integration-test: runs-on: macos-latest permissions: write-all environment: manual env: SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL: ${{ secrets.SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL }} steps: -
Create an environment ‘manual’ on the repo with deployment protection rule that requires manual approval.
-
On PR creation, job
static-code-analysiswill run automatically. Jobintegration-testwill block, waiting for manual approval. A prompt will appear on the workflow run UI to give your approval. -
Environments are free on public repos, private repos need a Team or Pro plan.
