gateway-action-storage

CI configuration and E2E skip management for gateway tests.

This repo replaces the legacy SKIP_E2E_TEST variable with a version-controlled skip list in skipped-tests/skipped.yaml.

skipped.yaml Format

skips_all_branches:
  - name: "test-name"
    reason: "why it is skipped"
    owner: "email@konghq.com"
    note: "optional extra context"

skips:
  - name: "test-name"
    reason: "why it is skipped"
    owner: "email@konghq.com"
    branches:
      - "branch-name"

reset_branches:
  - "branch-name"

Fields

Field	Required	Description
name	Yes	Test name as used in CI
reason	Yes	Why the test is skipped
owner	Yes	Who is responsible for re-enabling it (email)
note	No	Additional context, ticket links, etc.
branches	Yes (in skips only)	Branches this skip applies to

All top-level sections are optional. If a section is absent or empty, no skips are applied for that category.

Update Flow (Repo Mode)

When updating skipped-tests/skipped.yaml:

• Pre-commit hook performs local format checks.
• CI runs validate.js for schema + duplicate validation.
• CI runs generate.js to ensure final skip list output can be generated.

Pre-commit Hook

Run once in repository root:

git config core.hooksPath .githooks

The hook:

• Performs lightweight format checks
• Provides fast local feedback

Local Tool Setup

Before running validation locally:

cd skipped-tests/tools
npm install

This is required for:

• validate.js
• generate.js
• report.js

Skip Digest Bot

A scheduled workflow (.github/workflows/slack-skip-digest.yml) posts a weekly (Monday) summary of the current skip list to Slack: one line per entry (name — owner — age, branch-specific entries also list their branches), sorted oldest first, and <!here> pings only when there are new or stale (21+ days) skips. It requires the SLACK_BOT_TOKEN secret (bot token with chat:write) and the SLACK_CHANNEL variable on the repo.

Preview the message locally without posting:

cd skipped-tests/tools
