Stage and production both deploy from screenly.yml
initialize and update read screenly.yml in stage and production alike. screenly_qc.yml isn’t
read anymore, whether or not you pass edge_app_id.
That also means an app with only screenly.yml can run its first initialize in stage. Leave
edge_app_id out for that first run, then set the environment’s variable to the id of the app it
created. Every run after that passes the id:
- uses: Screenly/edge-apps-actions/[email protected]
with:
screenly_api_token: ${{ secrets.SCREENLY_API_TOKEN }}
environment: stage
edge_app_id: ${{ vars.STAGE_EDGE_APP_ID }}The id you pass wins over any id in screenly.yml, so 1 manifest serves both environments.
If this affects you: if your repo has a
screenly_qc.yml, move to 1 manifest before you bump your pin tov26.9.1. Copy anything that differs intoscreenly.ymland deletescreenly_qc.yml. Add the repository variablesSTAGE_EDGE_APP_ID(theidfromscreenly_qc.yml) andPRODUCTION_EDGE_APP_ID(theidfromscreenly.yml), and passedge_app_id: ${{ vars.STAGE_EDGE_APP_ID }}to your stage steps andedge_app_id: ${{ vars.PRODUCTION_EDGE_APP_ID }}to your production steps.
