Simple demonstration of CircleCI's setup workflow
This repository demonstrates the core concept of CircleCI's setup workflow feature.
The most fundamental understanding for the setup workflow feature is that users can execute two configs in a single pipeline, i.e., one for the setup workflow/job, and the other for main workflows/jobs. While setup workflows/jobs need to be implemented in .circleci/config.yml, you can use any arbitrary valid config for the main workflows/jobs.
In this demonstration, we generate /tmp/another-config.yml in the setup job, and then spool it for the main job. The execution of another-config.yml is triggered by calling POST /pipeline/continue with continuation-key and configuration parameters conveyed as the request body encoded in JSON.
