Azurite + GitHub Actions

Do you have any project where you want to run Integration Test cases on your build pipelines?

If your answer is YES, then you are in a correct place, in this story I will talk about HOW TO RUN AZURITE WITHIN GITHUB ACTIONS (OR ANY OTHER CI/CD TOOL).

First thing first, add some Integration Tests in your projects and on the configuration file set UseDevelopmentStorage=true, this will tell your code to use the local instance of storage account.

Next step is to add the following steps in you build.yml file.

name: Build And Test

on:
  pull_request:
    branches:
      - qa
    paths-ignore:
      - "README.md"

jobs:
  build-and-test:
    name: Build And Test
    runs-on: windows-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Install Azurite
        run: npm install --location=global azurite@3.17.1
        shell: bash

      - name: Run Azurite
        run: azurite --silent -l /tmp &
        shell: bash

Add your Integration test steps after this, and Voila YOU ARE DONE.

You can use the same trick with azure DevOps or any other CI/CD Tool. Change the azurite version according to your need.

Hope it help you, Cheers 🍻
