wcys-co/fontbakery GitHub Action

This GitHub Action installs the googlefonts/fontbakery@0.7.31 typeface project quality assurance tool and executes the tool on a user-specified filepath as part of a remote continuous integration testing pipeline. The Action requires a Python v3.6+ runner environment.

Quick Start

Create a yaml formatted GitHub Actions configuration file on the directory path .github/workflows in your source repository. Please review the GitHub Actions documentation for detailed instructions on the configuation file syntax.

Please note: These steps require that the fonts are built in your CI workflow before the fontbakery testing steps are executed or are under git version control and pushed to a remote source repository directory path. The example below assumes a Makefile based build that uses the default make target. Customize the build command with the approach that you use in your project.

Example workflow

name: Font Bakery QA Tests

on: [push, pull_request]

jobs:
  fontbakery:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Font Bakery QA tests  # Customize to edit the string in your GitHub CI UI
    steps:
      - name: Check out source repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Set up Python environment
        uses: actions/setup-python@v1
        with:
          python-version: "3.8"  # supports any Py3.6+ version available in Actions
      - name: Build fonts
        run: make  # enter your build shell commands here
      - name: fontbakery TTF checks
        uses: wcys-co/fontbakery@v1
        with:
          subcmd: "check-universal"  # fontbakery sub-command
          args: "--loglevel WARN"  # optional arguments to fontbakery
          path: "path/to/*.ttf"  # font path relative to root of repository
          version: "latest"  # optional, latest PyPI release is default
      - name: fontbakery OTF checks
        uses: wcys-co/fontbakery@v1
        with:
          subcmd: "check-universal"  # fontbakery sub-command
          args: "--loglevel WARN"  # optional arguments to fontbakery
          path: "path/to/*.otf"  # font path relative to root of repository
          version: "latest"  # optional, latest PyPI release is default

See the Inputs section below for details on default inputs and optional configuration settings.

Inputs

Configure the Action with the following settings:

args

Optional The non-path arguments to the fontbakery executable sub-command. For example, this is a location where the log level may be set. The setting below limits reporting to log levels of WARN and higher:

args: "--loglevel WARN"

See the fontbakery help menus for details on available options.

path

Optional The path to the font file(s). You may use wildcards in this path definition. Default: build directory

path: "path/to/*.ttf"

subcmd

Mandatory The fontbakery sub-command. This specifies the test profile that is executed on your fonts.

subcmd: "check-universal"

See fontbakery --help or the fontbakery documentation for additional details.

version

Optional The fontbakery version that should be used for testing. This supports PyPI releases and direct source repository master branch installations.

Default: "latest" = latest PyPI release version.

Options:

• "latest" = latest PyPI release version (this approach will automatically bump the fontbakery version with new releases)
• "master" = master branch HEAD commit (this approach will automatically bump the fontbakery version with new commits that are pushed to the master branch of the fontbakery source repository)
• "[VERSION NUMBER]" = PyPI release version number, e.g. "0.7.28" (this approach pins the fontbakery package at a release version number)

Outputs

None
