CKEditor 5 CI utilities

Utils for CKEditor 5 CI builds.

Contains tools for sending Slack notifications by Circle CI.

Available scripts

These commands accept a mix of environment variables and command line arguments. Environment variables are preferred when the value comes from the CI environment or is sensitive (like tokens). Command line arguments are preferred when the value is static or local to a given repository.

[!WARNING] Tokens are passed as environment variables to avoid exposing sensitive credentials in shell history, CI logs, or shared configuration files.

• ⚙️ ckeditor5-dev-ci-circle-disable-auto-cancel-builds

  Disables the “Auto-cancel redundant workflows” option in CircleCI for a given repository. Useful during release processes to prevent CircleCI from canceling the workflow triggered by the release commit itself.

  Environment variables:

  • CKE5_CIRCLE_TOKEN — CircleCI API token used for authentication.

  Parameters:

  • --organization — GitHub organization name.
  • --repository — GitHub repository name.

• ⚙️ ckeditor5-dev-ci-circle-enable-auto-cancel-builds

  Enables the “Auto-cancel redundant workflows” option in CircleCI for a given repository. Should be used after a release workflow that temporarily disables this option using the ckeditor5-dev-ci-circle-disable-auto-cancel-builds script.

  Environment variables:

  • CKE5_CIRCLE_TOKEN — CircleCI API token used for authentication.

  Parameters:

  • --organization — GitHub organization name.
  • --repository — GitHub repository name.

• ⚙️ ckeditor5-dev-ci-circle-workflow-notifier

  Waits for all jobs in the current CircleCI workflow to finish (success or error) and then runs a final command (the "notifier"). Intended to run as a dedicated job in your workflow. The script itself handles waiting – you typically don’t add requires on this job.

  Environment variables:

  • CKE5_CIRCLE_TOKEN — CircleCI API token used for authentication.

  CircleCI-provided variables:

  • CIRCLE_WORKFLOW_ID — ID of the current workflow.
  • CIRCLE_JOB — Name of the current job.

  Parameters:

  • --task — Command to execute at the end; default: pnpm ckeditor5-dev-ci-notify-circle-status.
  • --ignore — Job name to ignore when waiting (repeatable; can be passed multiple times).

  Behavior:

  • Retries transient CircleCI API errors up to 5 attempts with a 10s delay between attempts.
  • Fails immediately for non-retryable API errors (for example: invalid token or wrong workflow ID).
  • If transient errors persist, it exits with an explicit message asking to verify workflow results manually.

• ⚙️ ckeditor5-dev-ci-is-job-triggered-by-member

  Verifies that a CircleCI approval job was approved by a user who belongs to a specified GitHub team. Uses CircleCI and GitHub APIs to check the approver against the team membership.

  Environment variables:

  • CKE5_CIRCLE_TOKEN — CircleCI API token used for authentication.
  • CKE5_GITHUB_TOKEN — GitHub token used to query team membership.

  CircleCI-provided variables:

  • CIRCLE_WORKFLOW_ID — ID of the current workflow.

  Parameters:

  • --job — Name of the approval job to verify.
  • --organization — GitHub organization name.
  • --team — GitHub team name (slug) to validate against.

• ⚙️ ckeditor5-dev-ci-is-workflow-restarted

  Checks whether the current CircleCI workflow has been restarted. If a restart is detected, the script exits with a zero exit code, allowing the pipeline to continue conditionally.

  CircleCI-provided variables:

  • CIRCLE_WORKFLOW_ID — ID of the current workflow (set by CircleCI).

  • CKE5_CIRCLE_TOKEN — CircleCI API token used for API calls.

  CircleCI-provided variables:

  • CIRCLE_BRANCH — The number of the current build.
  • CIRCLE_PROJECT_REPONAME — Repository name.
