Writing a GitHub Actions File To Test Against Multiple Node.js Versions
If you’re distributing a package, say a plugin, you may want to test it against multiple Node versions (especially if you’re using Jest for tests). In my situation, I have a popular plugin for Aurelia called Aurelia Google Maps. It’s for Aurelia 1, but many people use it, so I wanted to test it against the LTS of Node and the latest version. name: Node.js Jest Tests on: [push, pull\_request] jobs: build-and-test: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v3 - name: Use Node.js ${{ matrix.node-version }} uses: actions/setup-node@v3 with: node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }} cache: 'yarn' - name: Install dependencies run: yarn install - name: Run Jest tests run: yarn test strategy: matrix: node-version: [18.x, 19.x] You will want to save this file in your .github/workflows directory at the root of your project. You can save it as whatever you want: run-tests.yml
