build: drop docker-bake in favor of plain npm by caarlos0 · Pull Request #551 · goreleaser/goreleaser-action

caarlos0 · 2026-04-18T17:51:56Z

Replaces the docker buildx bake dev workflow with plain npm scripts, matching every TS action maintained by actions/* (checkout, setup-node, setup-go, cache, upload-artifact). The bake setup is a docker/* org convention that adds friction for a TypeScript action: contributors need Docker, the dev loop is ~10x slower than npm, and Alpine-vs-host byte drift in dist/index.js makes PRs bounce.

Changes

.node-version pins Node 24 (same version dev.Dockerfile used) so contributors and CI agree on bundler output.
package.json gains a pre-checkin script (format + build + test) — the npm equivalent of the old bake target.
.github/workflows/validate.yml rewritten as native npm jobs:
- lint — npm run lint
- build — npm run build then git diff --ignore-space-at-eol dist, mirroring the actions/reusable-workflows check-dist pattern. Uploads the rebuilt dist/ as an artifact on failure so contributors can grab it.
- vendor — npm install --package-lock-only then git status, replacing bake vendor-validate.
.github/workflows/test.yml uses actions/setup-node + sigstore/cosign-installer + npm test instead of docker/bake-action.
.github/workflows/dependabot-build.yml regenerates dist/ via npm instead of bake.
dev.Dockerfile and docker-bake.hcl deleted.
CONTRIBUTING.md and README Development section updated.

Verification

Locally: npm ci && npm run build && npm run lint && npm test all pass.
Build is byte-identical to the previously-committed dist/index.js even on Node 25 / macOS — the bundler output is reproducible across hosts.
All 38 tests pass (one pre-existing flake on v0.182.0-pro Darwin is a release-tarball quirk, not related to this change; CI runs on ubuntu-latest).

Every TypeScript action maintained by actions/* (checkout, setup-node, setup-go, cache, upload-artifact) uses plain npm scripts. The bake setup is a docker/* org convention and adds friction for TS work: contributors need Docker, the dev loop is ~10x slower than npm, and Alpine-vs-host byte drift in dist/index.js makes PRs bounce. Replace with the standard pattern: - .node-version pins Node 24 so contributors and CI agree - npm scripts (build, lint, format, test, pre-checkin) replace bake targets one-for-one - validate.yml runs lint + a check-dist diff (mirrors actions/setup-node) and a vendor check that npm install --package-lock-only is a no-op - test.yml uses setup-node + sigstore/cosign-installer, drops bake-action - dependabot-build.yml regenerates dist via npm instead of bake CONTRIBUTING.md and README development section updated to match.

Match the standard layout used by actions/checkout, actions/setup-node, etc.: - package.json scripts: split format/format-check (Prettier) from lint/lint:fix (ESLint), and have pre-checkin run all four (format, lint:fix, build, test) in that order. - validate.yml lint job runs format-check + lint as separate steps. - test.yml drops the redundant --coverage flag (now in the test script). - Drop dependabot-build.yml: actions/* don't auto-rebuild dist on dependabot PRs; the check-dist style validate / build job catches drift and a maintainer rebuilds locally if needed.
