Add check for workflow already running with matching commit

As this workflow can potentially overwrite the same actions if two workflows are running, i.e. push and tag. a check needs to be done to find the first workflow so that no additional rebuilding is done.

The check should cause the newest workflow to pause if the commit is the same and to wait for the first one to complete.

Details

A query to the API could be done and if the branch is regex match a tag and the current running job is on the same commit, then stop. this will then prevent an overwrite of build items that are not tagged.

So that the status of the branch job is not that of "reported" true/false. wait for the tagged job to finish and report it's status as the the same as the tagged job's run status.

Workflow

• Wait x period of time

• query endpoint using commit sha

  https://api.github.com/repos/nofusscomputing/centurion_erp/actions/runs?head_sha=9d5464b5a989f5095a099fcb081a9422b576cefa

• workflow found with same commit and workflow job CI

  • current workflow not git tag

    • Found workflow that is git tag

      • post markdown status to workflow pointing to tagged branch

        action: dtinth/markdown-report-action

      • stop workflow from continuing

  • Current workflow is git tag

    • continue workflow

Links

• API Endpoint for runs: https://api.github.com/repos/nofusscomputing/centurion_erp/actions/runs
• Docs: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/actions/workflow-runs?apiVersion=2022-11-28#list-workflow-runs-for-a-repository

Start by inspecting the CI workflow and the workflow-runs API endpoint, using head_sha to find runs for the same commit and checking which run is tagged. Confirm how dtinth/markdown-report-action is used for status reporting. Done means a newer non-tag workflow waits when a tagged run for the commit exists and reports that run's final status.
