Use mirror repo for unit tests to avoid need for credentials about github-actions-m2

[fooman]

Let's keep it open for the moment. I'd like to take a look at pre-seeding the Composer cache for the mirror repo.

Am still also considering pre-building images to effectively jump straight to here
https://github.com/extdn/github-actions-m2/blob/master/magento-unit-tests/entrypoint.sh#L31
(could be done for integration tests too, but should stop before the set up step)

I just found --repository=https://repo-magento-mirror.fooman.co.nz/ is used for the integration test build, but not for the unit test build.
Is there a reason to stick with the "official" repo for the unit tests?

By the way, THANK YOU @fooman for setting up the mirror!

I think this is just work in progress. The first step into improving things was to add secrets, so that the secrets could be used in different actions - this is what I'm using already, but indeed, the secrets will not work with Pull Requests :( For that matter, there is no way to share an environment variable ("secret") with others than the contributors of the project.

However, the thing that you bump into is more a flaw in the documentation, than the actual workflow files. In the docs, it is mentioned to use the following snippet:

jobs:
    env:
          MAGENTO_MARKETPLACE_USERNAME: ${{ secrets.MAGENTO_MARKETPLACE_USERNAME }}
          MAGENTO_MARKETPLACE_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.MAGENTO_MARKETPLACE_PASSWORD }}

But it is quite common that people fill in the details differently. The dependency in the workflow files is with the environment variable. The way to fill in that environment variable - for instance, using secrets or hard-coded - is up to you. (Obviously, hard-coded is not pretty.)

jobs:
    env:
          MAGENTO_MARKETPLACE_USERNAME: foo
          MAGENTO_MARKETPLACE_PASSWORD: bar

But you already changed the topic: Why not use the mirror? Good point - I see no reason not to. I'm going to fix that right away. Ideally, with a switch REPOSITORY_URL which defaults to https://repo-magento-mirror.fooman.co.nz/.

Done.

Awesome, thanks @jissereitsma. This should make it easier to use for open source modules.

Cam this issue be closed?

@fooman As of yet, all is working fine with this change. Can we close this issue?
