Release notes

    • Automatic file permission changes now also add executable permissions to the following file extensions, .msi, .exe, .cmd, .bat, along with .sh.

  • The input parameters is_generate_build and app_build_path has been removed.

Upgrade Guide from v3 to v4

  • From v4 of the splunk-app-action, your user-defined custom command (Refer to Running User Defined Commands Before Generating the final App Build section) would run in the context of your App’s folder instead of the root folder.

    • So you need to change the code from this:
      - uses: VatsalJagani/splunk-app-action@v3
  env:
    SPLUNK_APP_ACTION_1: "rm -rf my_app/extra_test_folder"
    SPLUNK_APP_ACTION_2: "cat 'abc,123' >> my_app/lookups/my_custom_lookup.csv"
  with:
    app_dir: "my_app"
      • to
      - uses: VatsalJagani/splunk-app-action@v3
  env:
    SPLUNK_APP_ACTION_1: "rm -rf extra_test_folder"
    SPLUNK_APP_ACTION_2: "cat 'abc,123' >> lookups/my_custom_lookup.csv"
  with:
    app_dir: "my_app"
      • Because this command would now run in context of your App’s directory.

  • to_make_permission_changes - default value has been changed to false from true. This means if you were to apply file and folder permission changes automatically, you have to explicitly add this parameter to your workflow. Refer to Avoid File and Folder Permission Issue on Your App Build for more details.

  • The input parameters is_generate_build and app_build_path have been removed from GitHub action from v4 onwards, hence if you are using them then migrate the action config properly before the version update.
