- (CA) Keep
/srcfolder but carry on with the modular approach - Review CLA classic PRs, run a local instance

- https://probot.github.io/apps/dco/
- Successfully ran a local instance of the CLA Assistant
- Hint: add https on callback URL
- Started the review of cla-assistant/cla-assistant#688
- Chat bot IA => FAQ
- If explicitely enabled, deploy a github-pages interface to manage the CA
- Would be a modular website: there would be tabs for each enabled feature of the CA
- When something is updated, just rebuild the part that's needed
- Centralized website to visualize data: issue marketplace for example
- need to think about the reward system
https://docs.github.com/en/actions/creating-actions/about-actions#types-of-actions
Solution: create a small script to install Deno
https://cdn.skypack.dev/error/node:node:os?from=@actions/core (the issue comes from node/os)
Solution: this package is not that big so we can recode the faulty functions
most features won't work, but we can do without it.
esm.sh fixes the node/os issue but some process features are not yet polyfilled, I've fixed them by myself. This modified version can be removed in the future without consequences.
I'm thinking about contributing to the node compatibility layer to speed things up.
Maybe Deno isn't ready yet for production...
http, htt2, http2 are unsupported, os, node globals are partly supported
=> @actions/core, @actions/github, @actions/http-client and a lot more are incompatible with Deno
We have two options for now:
- either contribute to
deno_std/nodeto reduce incompatibilities (and greatly help the community) - or make everything in Deno from scratch. This would make maintainability challenging.
In fact there are very few features of the @actions/github package used in the github action. So I will grab those functions, fix them for Deno and everything should be fine.
CLA features are now implemented in the CA.
- The whole codebase is now typesafe,
- fix: take default branch when none is provided instead of 'main'
- fix: co-authors where not taken into account
- refactor: graphql
- code refactors
- deno CI/CD, automatic bundling
