GitHub Action Package for Automating Python-Package Dependency Management
This GitHub Action creates 1+ dependencies*.log file(s) for documenting dependency versions (ex: dependencies.log, dependencies-dev.log, dependencies-docker-default.log, etc.). These files are similar to requirements*.txt-type files, with the distinct difference that dependencies*.log-type files are a reflection of the built environment(s). If dependency-version pinning is wanted, it should be done by the user in the setup.cfg/pyproject.toml file.
This action uses pip freeze + pipdeptree to generate the dependencies*.log file(s). All current dependencies*.log files are deleted/overwritten/updated. By default, these file(s) are placed at the client repository's root. Setting the input arg use_directory: true will place the generated file(s) in dependencies-logs/.
By default, this action generates a dependencies*.log file using the environment built from the client's Python package. In addition, a dedicated dependencies-EXTRA.log file is generated for each package "extra".
If the user supplies Docker image(s) tagged with "py-dep-this" (configurable by the input arg, docker_tag_to_dep). dependencies*.log file(s), named dependencies-docker-{IMAGE_NAME}.log, are generated from within each container.
