Github Branch Protection: All Workflows need to succeed

[armin-schnabel]

Situation:

• we don’t have parallel builds
• we’re use multiple Bitrise workflows to test all our Android modules via Virtual Device Testing
• the next workflow is triggered at the end of the previous with Bitrise Start Build
• “Wait for Builds” is set to false as this would require parallel builds

Problem:

• when Github triggers our initial workflow test1 and this succeeds the Branch protection allows to merge the PR
• when one of the other workflows fail this does not influence the Branch protection

Question:

• Can we “manually” control when Bitrise reports back to Github (success or not) without parallel builds?
• I.e. I would do this after the last workflow in the chain instead of currently after the first workflow

See screenshot:

• test1 succeeds and starts test2 which fails
• but Githubs still shows that all is good

Check out the “Github Status” step. It sounds like you may be able to use this to do what you would like.

One thing - if you are kicking off more then one build to do the tests, the last one finished will be the last one to set the status. So if you kick off 2 builds for testing, if the one that finishes first fails and sets the status, it will be overwritten by when the last build finishes - and the last build may be successful.
