benchmark-action-playtest

Sandbox repo for trying out various things.

gh-pages

The gh-pages site is deployed at this address, although might not contain anything as the website build has been delegated to another repository.

Deploy results to another repo and trigger website build

The "profiling" workflow is triggered on pushes to main and on request. This workflow calls the benchmark.py script which produces .pyisession files containing the profiling outputs alongside some metadata files. These files are pushed to the target branch of the willGraham01/benchmark-action-playtest-target repository, and a repository_dispatch event is sent to trigger the website build in that repository.

Output files from profiling have the same filenames but different extensions to distinguish them;

• The pyisession file contains the pyinstrument profiling output.
• The .json file is contains the json output of the profiling session. This can be obtained from the ipysession file, and so does not need to be pushed.
• A .stats.json file containing metadata that we otherwise want to pass across to the website build, but which cannot be obtained from the .pyisession file. These are things like the commit SHA/hash, the workflow event trigger, pull request target, etc.

To work, this repository need a PAT token available as an actions secret. Said PAT token needs at least read/write access to the contents of the target repository, as well as metadata read permissions (as otherwise the website rebuild cannot be triggered).
