I am trying to DRY up my GitHub ci.yml file somewhat. I have two jobs—one runs RSpec tests, the other runs Cucumber tests. There were a number of steps they shared, which I’ve extracted to an external action.
They both depend on a postgres and chrome Docker image however, and some environment variables, so currently both jobs include the below code. Is there any way I can put this code in one place for them both to use? Note I’m not attempting to share the image itself, I just don’t want to have the repeated code.
services:
postgres:
image: postgres:13
env:
POSTGRES_USER: postgres
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: postgres
POSTGRES_DB: postgres
ports:
- 5432:5432
# Set health checks to wait until postgres has started
# tmpfs for faster DB in RAM
options: >-
--mount type=tmpfs,destination=/var/lib/postgresql/data
--health-cmd pg_isready
--health-interval 10s
--health-timeout 5s
--health-retries 5
chrome:
image: seleniarm/standalone-chromium:4.1.2-20220227
ports:
- 4444:4444
env:
DB_HOST: localhost
CHROMEDRIVER_HOST: localhost
RAILS_ENV: test
