🔄 CI/CD Pipeline

Continuous Integration (ci.yml)

Triggers: Push to main/develop, Pull Requests

What it does:

1. Checkout code
2. Setup Node.js 20
3. Install dependencies
4. Run unit tests (Vitest)
5. Run integration tests (test-runner.sh)
6. Build TypeScript
7. Bundle with ncc
8. Check bundle size
9. Lint TypeScript

Result: Ensures every change is tested before merge

Automated Releases (release.yml)

Triggers: Push of version tags (v1.0.0, v1.2.3, etc.)

What it does:

1. Run all tests
2. Build and bundle action
3. Create release archive
4. Generate changelog from git commits
5. Create GitHub release
6. Attach release assets
7. Update major version tag (v1 → v1.x.x)

Result: One command releases to GitHub

Comprehensive Testing (test-scenarios.yml)

Triggers: Manual, Weekly schedule

What it tests:

1. Basic usage
2. Complex directory structures
3. Special characters in filenames
4. Exclude patterns
5. Empty and malformed files
6. Different file extensions (.md, .mdx, .markdown)

Result: Catches edge cases and regressions

🧪 Testing Strategy

Three-Layer Testing

Layer 1: Unit Tests (src*.test.ts)
├── Fast (< 1 second)
├── Test individual functions
└── High coverage (80%+)

Layer 2: Integration Tests (tests/integration/)
├── Test complete workflows
├── Real file system operations
└── Validates end-to-end

Layer 3: Scenario Tests (test-scenarios.yml)
├── Real GitHub Actions environment
├── Real-world use cases
└── Edge cases and special situations

Test Coverage

• ✅ File scanning and discovery
• ✅ Markdown parsing
• ✅ Content generation
• ✅ URL formatting
• ✅ Section categorization
• ✅ Error handling
• ✅ Special characters
• ✅ Empty files
• ✅ Exclude patterns
• ✅ Multiple file extensions

🚀 Release Process

Simple 5-Step Release

# 1. Update version
cd src
npm version patch  # or minor, major

# 2. Build and bundle
npm run package

# 3. Commit bundle
git add dist/
git commit -m "chore: release v1.0.1"

# 4. Push with tags
git push origin main --tags

# 5. Automation handles the rest!
# - CI runs tests
# - Release workflow creates GitHub release
# - Changelog generated
# - v1 tag updated

Version Strategy

Users can reference:

• @v1.0.0 - Specific version (pinned, stable)
• @v1 - Latest v1.x.x (auto-updated)
• @main - Latest code (not recommended)

🎯 Integration Tests

What They Test

The integration tests create real test fixtures and run the action against them:

Test 1: Basic Functionality

• Creates simple markdown files
• Runs action
• Verifies output files generated

Test 2: Multiple Sections

• Creates files in different directories
• Tests section categorization
• Verifies sections in output

Test 3: Exclude Patterns

• Creates files to include and exclude
• Tests glob pattern filtering
• Verifies excluded files not in output

Test 4: Error Handling

• Tests with no markdown files
• Verifies graceful error handling
• Ensures action fails appropriately

Running Integration Tests

cd src

# Run integration tests
npm run test:integration

# Or run all tests
npm run test:all
