- madeofpalk 5y agoLooks like the configuration format also changed before publicly released - Actions now uses a YAML file.
- wungsten 5y agoI suppose they might have figured the "New Workflow" UI that can add Starter Workflows is a suitable replacement. https://github.com/actions/starter-workflows https://github.com/actions/starter-workflows
- tasogare 5y agoVisual Studio Online (now Azure DevOps if it didn't change again) used to have a wizard/UI to create CI scripts. It was very handy and allow to create them quickly. One day they imposed the YAML version (probably close or the same used now for GH actions) and it has been a huge pain to use: all discoverability is lost, and it's now a painful cycle of searching documentation with a search engine, try something, commit, lose build minutes, wait it to fail, restart at step one. I want the wizard back.
- joelby37 5y agoI totally agree.. I like the idea of YAML and source control for pipelines, but unless you're already very familiar with the system it is much slower. Fortunately there's a "Use the classic editor to create a pipeline without YAML" option to use the previous system.
- vorticalbox 5y agois there? ive never seen that hutton on any repos at work.
- larrybud 5y agoThe ui is no longer there, but there is indeed a wizard for yaml whereby you can select a task and have it generate the required yaml for you. The very cool thing is round tripping works as well.
