.. _JOBTMPL/Parameters:
Parameters
##########
The ``Parameters`` job template is a workaround for the limitations of GitHub Actions to handle global variables in
GitHub Actions workflows (see `actions/runner#480 <https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/480>`__).
It generates output parameters with artifact names and a job matrix to be used in later running jobs.
.. topic:: Features
* Generate names for various artifacts.
* Generate a matrix of job combinations made from systems, Python versions and environments as a JSON string.
* Provide a (default) Python version for other jobs.
.. topic:: Job Execution

.. topic:: Dependencies
* Python from base-system.
.. _JOBTMPL/Parameters/Instantiation:
Instantiation
*************
Simple Example
==============
.. grid:: 2
.. grid-item::
:columns: 5
The following instantiation example creates a ``Params`` job derived from job template ``Parameters`` version
``@r5``. It only requires a :ref:`JOBTMPL/Parameters/Input/package_name` parameter to create the artifact names.
.. grid-item::
:columns: 7
.. code-block:: yaml
name: Pipeline
on:
push:

with:
package_name: myPackage
UnitTesting:

needs:
- Params
with:
jobs: ${{ needs.Params.outputs.python_jobs }}
Complex Example
===============
.. grid:: 2
.. grid-item::
:columns: 5
The following instantiation example creates 3 jobs from the same template, but with differing input parameters.
The first ``UnitTestingParams`` job might be used to create a job matrix of unit tests. It creates the cross of
default systems (Windows, Ubuntu, macOS, macOS-ARM, MinGW64, UCRT64) and the given list of Python versions
including some mypy versions. In addition a list of excludes (marked as :deletion:`deletions`) and includes
(marked as :addition:`additions`) is handed over resulting in the following combinations.
The second ``PerformanceTestingParams`` job might be used to create a job matrix for performance tests. Here a
pipeline might be limited to the latest two Python versions on a selected list of platforms.
The third ``PlatformTestingParams`` job might be used to create a job matrix for platform compatibility tests.
Here a pipeline might be limited to the latest Python version, but all available platforms.

python_version
==============
:Type: string
:Default Value: ``'3.13'``
:Possible Values: Any valid Python version conforming to the pattern ``<major>.<minor>`` or ``pypy-<major>.<minor>``.
:Description: Returns
A single string parameter representing the default Python version that should be used across multiple jobs in the same
pipeline.
Such a parameter is needed as a workaround, because GitHub Actions doesn't support proper handling of global pipeline
variables. Thus, this job is used to compute an output parameter that can be reused in other jobs.
:Example:
.. code-block:: yaml
jobs:
Params:
uses: pyTooling/Actions/.github/workflows/Parameters.yml@r5
with:
name: pyTooling
CodeCoverage:
uses: pyTooling/Actions/.github/workflows/CoverageCollection.yml@r5
needs:
- Params
with:
python_version: ${{ needs.Params.outputs.python_version }}
.. _JOBTMPL/Parameters/Output/python_jobs:
python_jobs
===========
:Type: string (JSON)
:Description: Returns a JSON array of job descriptions, wherein each job description is a dictionary providing the
following key-value pairs:
* ``sysicon`` - icon to display
* ``system`` - name of the system
* ``runs-on`` - virtual machine image and base operating system
* ``runtime`` - name of the runtime environment if not running natively on the VM image
* ``shell`` - name of the shell
* ``pyicon`` - icon for CPython or pypy
* ``python`` - Python version
* ``envname`` - full name of the selected environment
:Example:
.. code-block:: yaml
jobs:
Params:
uses: pyTooling/Actions/.github/workflows/Parameters.yml@r5
with:
name: pyDummy
UnitTesting:
uses: pyTooling/Actions/.github/workflows/UnitTesting.yml@r5
needs:
- Params
with:
jobs: ${{ needs.Params.outputs.python_jobs }}
:Usage: The generated JSON array can be unpacked using the ``fromJson(...)`` function in a job's matrix
``strategy:matrix:include`` like this:
.. code-block:: yaml
name: Unit Testing (Matrix)
on:
workflow_call:
inputs:
jobs:
required: true
type: string
jobs:
UnitTesting:
name: ${{ matrix.sysicon }} ${{ matrix.pyicon }} Unit Tests using Python ${{ matrix.python }}
runs-on: ${{ matrix.runs-on }}
strategy:
matrix:
include: ${{ fromJson(inputs.jobs) }}
defaults:
run:
shell: ${{ matrix.shell }}
steps:
- name: 🐍 Setup Python ${{ matrix.python }}
if: matrix.system != 'msys2'
uses: actions/setup-python@v4
with:
python-version: ${{ matrix.python }}
:Debugging: The job prints debugging information like system |times| Python version |times| environment
combinations as well as the generated JSON array in the job's log.

artifact_names
==============
:Type: string (JSON)
:Description: Returns a JSON dictionary of artifact names sharing a common prefix (see :ref:`JOBTMPL/Parameters/Input/name`). |br|
As artifacts are handed from jo to job, a consistent nameing scheme is advised to avoid duplications
and naming artifacts by hand. This technique solves again the problem of global variables in GitHub
Action YAMl files and the need for assigning the same value (here artifact name) to multiple jobs
templates.
The supported artifacts are:
* ``unittesting_xml`` - UnitTesting XML summary report
* ``unittesting_html`` - UnitTesting HTML summary report
* ``perftesting_xml`` - PerformanceTesting XML summary report
* ``benchtesting_xml`` - Benchmarking XML summary report
* ``apptesting_xml`` - ApplicationTesting XML summary report
* ``codecoverage_sqlite`` - Code Coverage internal database (SQLite)
* ``codecoverage_xml`` - Code Coverage XML report
* ``codecoverage_json`` - Code Coverage JSON report
* ``codecoverage_html`` - Code Coverage HTML report
* ``statictyping_html`` - Static Type Checking HTML report
* ``package_all`` - Packaged Python project (multiple formats)
* ``documentation_html`` - Documentation in HTML format
* ``documentation_latex`` - Documentation in LaTeX format
* ``documentation_pdf`` - Documentation in PDF format

:Type: string (JSON)
:Description: Returns a JSON dictionary of artifact names. |br|
Use :ref:`JOBTMPL/Parameters/Output/artifact_names` as a more powerful replacement.
:Replacements: * ``params['unittesting']`` |rarr| ``artifact_names['unittesting_xml']``

.. _JOBTMPL/Parameters/Optimizations:
Optimizations
*************
This template offers no optimizations (reduced job runtime).
Nontheless, the generated output :ref:`JOBTMPL/Parameters/Output/python_jobs` is influenced by many input parameters
generating :math:`N^2` many Python job combinations, which in turn will influence the overall pipeline runtime and how many
jobs (parallel VMs) are needed to execute the matrix.
.. hint::
Some VM images (macOS, Windows) have parallelism limitations and run slower then Ubuntu-based jobs. Additionally,
environments like MSYS2 require an additional setup time increasing a jobs runtime segnificantly.
