Release notes

What’s Changed

Added multi workflow keepalive

Now you can keep multiple Github actions alive using a single keepalive workflow. Previously you had to add separate keepalive workflow to all the cronjob-triggered Github actions for this to happen.

Example

Let’s assume that you have some build workflows:

  • .github/workflows/build1.yml
name: Build 20

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: "0 0 * * *"

jobs:
  publish-npm:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: "20"
          cache: "yarn"
      - run: yarn install --frozen-lockfile
      - run: yarn build
  • .github/workflows/build2.yml
name: Build 19

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: "0 0 * * *"

jobs:
  publish-npm:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: "19"
          cache: "yarn"
      - run: yarn install --frozen-lockfile
      - run: yarn build

You can now keep both of these workflows active using the following keepalive workflow code: .github/workflows/keepalive.yml

name: Keepalive Workflow
on:
  schedule:
    - cron: "0 0 * * *"
permissions:
  actions: write
jobs:
  cronjob-based-github-action:
    name: Keepalive Workflow
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: gautamkrishnar/keepalive-workflow@v2
        with:
          workflow_files: "build1.yml, build2.yml"
          time_elapsed: "0"

Result: result
