f-actions/font-bakery GitHub Action

This GitHub Action installs the fonttools/fontbakery typeface project quality assurance tool and executes the tool on a user-specified filepath as part of a remote continuous integration testing pipeline. The Action requires a Python v3.8+ runner environment.

Quick Start

Create a yaml formatted GitHub Actions configuration file on the directory path .github/workflows in your source repository. Please review the GitHub Actions documentation for detailed instructions on the configuation file syntax.

Please note: These steps require that the fonts are built in your CI workflow before the fontbakery testing steps are executed or are under git version control and pushed to a remote source repository directory path. The example below assumes a Makefile based build that uses the default make target. Customize the build command with the approach that you use in your project.

Example workflow

name: Font Bakery QA Tests

on: [push, pull_request]

jobs:
  fontbakery:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Font Bakery QA tests  # Customize to edit the string in your GitHub CI UI
    steps:
      - name: Check out source repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Set up Python environment
        uses: actions/setup-python@v4
        with:
          python-version: "3.11"  # supports any Py3.6+ version available in Actions
      - name: Build fonts
        run: make  # enter your build shell commands here
      - name: fontbakery TTF checks
        uses: f-actions/font-bakery@v3
        with:
          subcmd: "check-universal"  # fontbakery sub-command
          args: "--loglevel WARN"  # optional, arguments to fontbakery
          path: "path/to/*.ttf"  # font path relative to root of repository
          version: "latest"  # optional, latest PyPI release is default
      - name: fontbakery OTF checks
        uses: f-actions/font-bakery@v3
        with:
          subcmd: "check-universal"  # fontbakery sub-command
          args: "--loglevel WARN"  # optional, arguments to fontbakery
          path: "path/to/*.otf"  # font path relative to root of repository
          version: "latest"  # optional, latest PyPI release is default

See the Inputs section below for details on default inputs and optional configuration settings.

Inputs

Configure the Action with the following settings:

args

Optional The non-path arguments to the fontbakery executable sub-command. For example, this is a location where the log level may be set. The setting below limits reporting to log levels of WARN and higher:

args: "--loglevel WARN"

See the fontbakery help menus for details on available options.

path

Mandatory The path to the font file(s). You may use wildcards in this path definition.

path: "path/to/*.ttf"

subcmd

Mandatory The fontbakery sub-command. This specifies the test profile that is executed on your fonts.

subcmd: "check-universal"

See fontbakery --help or the fontbakery documentation for additional details.

version

Please note: If you define installations of fontbakery < v0.9.0 with this input field, you must remain on the v2 branch of this GitHub Action. We introduced backwards incompatible changes that will not work with the installation of fontbakery versions < v.0.9.0 as of the v3.0.0 Action release.

Optional The fontbakery version that should be used for testing. This supports PyPI releases and direct source repository master branch installations.

Default: “latest” = latest PyPI release version.

Options:

• “latest” = latest PyPI release version (this approach will automatically bump the fontbakery version with new releases)
• “pre” = latest PyPI pre-release version (this approach will automatically bump the fontbakery version with new pre-releases)
• “main” = main branch HEAD commit (this approach will automatically bump the fontbakery version with new commits that are pushed to the main branch of the fontbakery source repository)
• “[VERSION NUMBER]” = PyPI release version number, e.g. "0.7.28" (this approach pins the fontbakery package at a release version number)

Outputs

None
