{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Track output of `check_versions.py` in a GitHub Actions workflow's job summary","articleBody":"### What would change?\r\n\r\nAdd a GitHub Actions workflow that regularly runs `check_versions.py`, and use the \"job summary\" feature to make that visible in a more prominent location. This would allow linking to the workflow's page from the README, where the user can click into one of the jobs and see the version table as a \"job summary\".\r\n\r\nhttps://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-commands-for-github-actions#adding-a-job-summary\r\n\r\nThe link from the README would be similar to [this one for pypi-package.yml](https://github.com/python/python-docs-theme/actions/workflows/pypi-package.yml?query=branch%3Amain), and the job summary would be a markdown block presented like [Build \u0026 verify package summary](https://github.com/python/python-docs-theme/actions/runs/6432027811#summary-17466044006) (this example uses `\u003cdetails\u003e` for dropdowns, and also attaches artifacts which are shown above the summary -- we likely wouldn't do either of those things).\r\n\r\n### What is the benefit of this?\r\n\r\nThis would eliminate the need for follow up bump PRs like #156 in the future, since the information would be automatically tracked and kept up to date via the regular re-runs of the script (with historical information as well, which is a nice side-effect?).\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/pradyunsg","@type":"Person","name":"pradyunsg"},"datePublished":"2023-10-07T19:49:15.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/170/docsbuild-scripts/issues/170"}
