Resolves #475
Description
This PR proposes replacing individual
automerge.ymlworkflows with a singleMerge PRsworkflow which goes over all the reposweb3-bothas access to and merges PRs created byweb3-botif they are ready to be merged once a day.Why?
I want to introduce this change because it's quite wasteful to hoard a runner for the entire duration of CI just for automerge. As described in #475, this could lead to deadlocks in extreme cases.
What are we giving up?
We're increasing the time between workflow being finished successfully and merge to up to 1 day. I think this is acceptable for updates from
web3-botbut I'd definitely want to hear from you whether you agree.What else changes?
I decided to use
github-scriptaction for the new/modified workflows. This allowed me to define workflows in inline JS. It could be even better if we turned them into proper JS actions but I think we can leave it until the next time we're investing time in one of these workflows.Testing
I ran the new/modified workflows on
pushwhile replacing the PR creation/PR merge/workflow deletion withcore.infolog:How to roll it out?
