It doesn't help the yaml ui/ux is awful.
- if ${{ github.event_name == 'why do you think this is acceptable?" }}
run:|
echo "I need programmatic CI no matter how much you think I don't"
Just let us write our entire pipelines in typescript. People are already using Actions for bitcoin mining, hosting porn, or whatever - if I can do arbitrary shell stuff you're not making my life easier by putting it behind a yaml DSL pretending to be "no code."
If it were just typescript with a reasonable library we could run and debug it locally without jumping through hoops.

- OJFord 5y agoWhat CI/CD system other than Jenkins uses a configuration format that isn't YAML?
- dzhiurgis 5y agoI don't get it how Python exists. Even with the best IDE support writing YAML is a misery.
- m45t3r 5y agoI write Python for years (including messing code) and never feel the pain I found when I edit an even a slightly complicated YAML file. The issue is not really the significant indentation of YAML, it is more of the ambiguity of the syntax plus the fact that YAML is a serialization format so it doesn't have many ways to reduce repetition. Now those issues coupled with the significant indentation makes YAML a mess, but those issues doesn't exist in Python.
