Request: Multiple builds from different configs about marlin-build

[frealmyr]

We can probably do both? If there are .h files in config directory, compile a single firmware bin. If there are folders there, go recursively inside each folder and build to the corresponding compiled firmware folder? 😄

Sounds great!
This project has finally put a fire under me to learn more about docker so hopefully I can contribute in future if you would like some help?

I considered modifying the script to accommodate for this, however it would increase the complexity a fair bit. Since this is a edge-case, i recommend solving it in a more static approach using Github Actions.

Create multiple GHA workflows, where you change out the monitored folders and docker volumes with sub-folders of choice. If you make changes in the sub-folder, only the corresponding firmware will be generated.

Example:

name: Build Marlin Firmware

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master
    paths:
      - 'Firmware/Configuration/Example1/**.h'

jobs:
  build_and_push:
    name: Compile and Push Firmware
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    env:
      BOARD: STM32F103RC_btt_512K

    steps:
      - name: Check out repo
        uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Compile firmware
        run: |
          docker run \
            -u root:root \
            -e BOARD \
            -e UPDATE_FORCE=true \
            -v $(pwd)/Firmware/Builds/Example1:/home/platformio/build \
            -v $(pwd)/Firmware/Configuration/Example1:/home/platformio/CustomConfiguration \
            frealmyr/marlin-build:latest
      - name: Push firmware
        run: |
          git config user.name github-actions
          git config user.email [email protected]
          git add .
          git commit -m "Compiled firmware"
          git push
