GitHub Action

The Emerge GitHub action allows you to upload builds from a GitHub workflow.

The action's source code is hosted on Emerge's GitHub.

Usage

The Emerge upload action should be run on any event that should trigger a size analysis. Examples of this are:

• When pushing or merging to specific branches (main/release).
• On any PR to the main branch.

See action.yml for all inputs and descriptions.

Create Emerge API key and add to secrets

First, create an Emerge API key. You can create one from your Emerge profile page.

Add the API key to your secrets in your repository or organization. Do not leave this key in plain text in your workflow!

Incorporate in your workflow

Build your artifact in a step before the Emerge upload action. Pass the generated artifact's path as the artifact_path
argument, and your Emerge API key secret as the emerge_api_key argument

name: Your workflow

on:
  push:
    branches: [ main ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ main ]

    steps:
      - uses: actions/[email protected]

        run: ./gradlew bundleRelease
      - name: Upload artifact to Emerge
        uses: EmergeTools/[email protected]
        with:
          artifact_path: ./app/build/outputs/bundle/release/app-release.aab
          emerge_api_key: ${{ secrets.EMERGE_API_KEY }}
          build_type: release # Optional, change if your workflow builds a specific type

After uploading, Emerge will run analysis on the uploaded build. If you haven't, set up GitHub comments by following our GitHub docs.
