🔍 Lab 17 - NxCloud GitHub bot

⏰ Estimated time: 10 minutes

📚 Learning outcomes:

Explore the NxCloud Run-Detail pages
Configure the NxCloud bot to get easy to read reports on the Nx checks performed during CI

🏋️‍♀️ Steps :

Enable the NxCloud GitHub bot on your GitHub repository: https://github.com/apps/nx-cloud

Switch to a new branch: git checkout -b nxcloud-bot

Add these env variables to your GitHub actions config:

name: Run CI checks

on: [pull_request]

env:
  NX_BRANCH: ${{ github.event.number }}
  NX_RUN_GROUP: ${{ github.run_id }}

jobs:
  build:
    ......

Make a change (add a console.log("...") somewhere in apps/store/src/app/app.tsx) in the store app (so that it will trigger our affected commands in CI).

⚠️ If you already added the ci.yml as an implicit dependency of *, this step is optional

Commit everything and push your branch

Make a PR on GitHub

Once the checks finish you should see something similar to this:

Click on one of the "failed" commands (if any). On the "Run Details" page, click on one of the projects and inspect the terminal output:

🔥 Rather than reading through CI logs, you can use this view to filter to the failed projects and inspect the failure reason scoped to that project.

Have a look at the "Cache Hit" and "Cache Miss" filters. What do you think they do?

Finally, you should see a "Claim workspace" button at the top - it's a good idea to do that at this stage. We'll explain more about that in a bit!

Merge your PR into master and pull latest locally:
```
git checkout master
git pull
```
