GitHub Actions CI/CD Setup Summary
November 14, 2025 · View on GitHub
✅ What Was Configured
1. CI Workflow (.github/workflows/ci.yml)
Runs on:
- Every push to
masterordevelopbranches - Every pull request to
masterordevelopbranches
Test Matrix:
- Operating Systems: Ubuntu, Windows, macOS
- Node.js Versions: 18, 20
Automated Checks:
- ✅ ESLint (code quality)
- ✅ TypeScript compilation
- ✅ Unit tests (28 tests)
- ✅ Console.log detection (production code only)
- ✅ TODO/FIXME comment detection
- ✅ Extension packaging
- ✅ VSIX artifact upload (30-day retention)
2. Publish Workflow (.github/workflows/publish.yml)
Triggers:
- Automatically when a GitHub Release is created
- Manually via GitHub Actions UI
Process:
- Runs full test suite
- Packages extension as VSIX
- Publishes to VS Code Marketplace (if release)
- Uploads VSIX as artifact (if manual)
⚠️ Setup Required: To enable automatic publishing, you need to:
- Create a Personal Access Token (PAT) at https://dev.azure.com/
- Organization: All accessible organizations
- Permissions: Marketplace > Manage
- Add to GitHub Secrets:
- Go to: Repository Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions
- Name:
VSCE_PAT - Value: Your Azure DevOps PAT
3. CodeQL Security Scan (.github/workflows/codeql.yml)
Runs:
- On push to
master - On pull requests to
master - Weekly on Mondays at 00:00 UTC
Purpose:
- Detects security vulnerabilities
- Identifies common coding errors
- Reports in Security tab
📦 Package Optimization
Updated .vscodeignore
Reduced package size from 524 KB to 190 KB (63% reduction):
- ✅ Excludes source TypeScript files
- ✅ Excludes test files and fixtures
- ✅ Excludes development documentation
- ✅ Excludes CI/CD configuration
- ✅ Only ships compiled JavaScript
New NPM Scripts
"package": "vsce package", // Create VSIX locally
"publish": "vsce publish" // Publish to marketplace
🔧 Configuration Changes
package.json Updates
- Added
@vscode/vsceto devDependencies for packaging - Updated engines.vscode from
^1.94.0to^1.105.0to match @types/vscode - Added packaging scripts for easier local testing
README.md Updates
Added status badges:
- CI build status
- Marketplace version
- Install count
🚀 Next Steps
1. Push Changes
git add .
git commit -m "Add GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows"
git push origin claude/refactor-ssl-style-guide-011CV3enrRL8ka1frHgZDRyF
2. Verify CI Pipeline
- Go to: https://github.com/mahoskye/vs-code-ssl-formatter/actions
- Watch the CI workflow run
- All checks should pass ✅
3. Set Up Publishing (Optional)
If you want automated publishing on release:
- Create Azure DevOps PAT (see instructions above)
- Add
VSCE_PATsecret to GitHub - Create a release to trigger automatic publishing
4. Create a Release
When ready to publish a new version:
# Update version in package.json
npm version patch # or minor, major
# Create git tag and push
git push && git push --tags
# Create GitHub Release from the tag
# This will trigger automatic publishing to marketplace
