CodePipeline + Github status checks

[abr-storm]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to work out how to update Github status checks based on the pass/fail of a CodePipeline.

My pipeline sources a Github repo with a call to CodePipelineSource.connection with a CodeStar connection arn instead of CodePipelineSource.github with an access token, as advised by the docs.

The pipeline triggers in response to repo changes as I would expect, but Github is not updated with the success/failure after the pipeline runs.

Has anyone got status checks working with this kind of setup? How did you do it? The little green tick is very important to me

Out of the box it isn't supported like it is via CodeBuild.

I finally found: https://repost.aws/questions/QUBTn5ZT8kQTqmk-65ydpy4Q/how-do-you-integrate-a-codestar-connection-with-github-status-checks

If you want to use CodePipeline as the initiator, then you need to do something like: https://aws.amazon.com/es/blogs/devops/aws-codepipeline-build-status-in-a-third-party-git-repository/ (which uses https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-blog-codepipeline-third-party-git-build-status/tree/main)

Otherwise, you can use the link NelsonLopez referenced. Which uses "CodeBuild" as the initiator, instead of "CodePipeline".
Then instead of completely refactoring, you'd end up having to do something like: Github -> Codebuild -> S3 -> which triggers -> CodePipeline
