Previously, jobs following the `check` job didn't have `if` conditionals or the existing expressions didn't use the status check functions. Those jobs are responsible for the finishing steps of the release automation. They used to work when the entire parent job tree was successful. The release automation is triggered by the `workflow_dispatch` event, which has a boolean flag/checkbox for disregarding the testing stage status. Using it makes the `check` gate pass even when some test matrix jobs fail. It was not obvious that jobs the depend on `check` don't run if any of the parent chain jobs fail. Not by default, so they were being skipped for no obvious reason. This patch updates said `if` conditionals to force GitHub Actions CI/CD to only take into account the `check` job result and not its dependencies by prepending the trick of `always() && needs.check.result == 'success' &&` in front of each `if` conditional in publishing jobs.

This patch refactors the conditionals with hardcoded job IDs into universal name-agnostic checks. Refs: * https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/45058#discussioncomment-8470000
GitHub recommends avoiding `always()` where possible. Relying on the cancellation check makes in possible to skip publishing more cleanly.

Congratulations! One of the builds has completed. 🍾 You can install the built RPMs by following these steps:
Please note that the RPMs should be used only in a testing environment. |
|
I reverted 30a9da5 because https://github.com/ansible/pylibssh/actions/runs/9414210260 revealed that the workflow seems to go into the canceled state after ignored failures anyway so it's not possible to rely on this check. |
|
I also reverted f5597a0 for the same reason — I probably missed something in the generalization example, so I will have to get back to trying it out later. |
|
The workflow is now functional in YOLO mode: https://github.com/ansible/pylibssh/actions/runs/9419572873. Finally. |
