Description

armbian.github.io now carries board pinouts, schematics and instructions (armbian.github.io#507, #508). A new board PR does not say when they are absent.

Goal: a contributor sees what else the board page can carry.

Result: the check reports them under Optional items and keeps passing.

Board images and vendor logos stay mandatory. Only those still fail the check.

A PR that lacks only optional assets gets a comment headed "💡 Optional board assets", not the "🚫 Missing required board assets" one, so it does not read as a failure.

case check comment
all assets present pass none
only optional missing pass 💡 Optional board assets
board image or vendor logo missing fail 🚫 Missing required board assets, with the optional list appended

Example of the new section:

### Optional items

These are not required and do not block this PR. They add a pinout
drawing, a schematic and board notes to the download page.

- `rock5b`: no schematic (`board-schematics/rock5b.pdf`)
- `rock5b`: no instructions (`board-instructions/rock5b.md`)

How Has This Been Tested?

The validate step was extracted and run against a mock website checkout, all three cases:

  • All assets present: exit 0, missing=false, optional=false, no comment
  • Pinout present, schematic and instructions missing: exit 0, optional=true, only the two absent ones listed
  • Board image missing plus optional missing: exit 1, both sections in one comment
  • YAML parses

One bug found and fixed while testing: the first version used <<- for the asset list. That strips tabs, not the spaces a YAML block scalar leaves, so every lookup would have run against website/ board-pinouts and reported all three as missing on every board. It now uses a herestring.

Boards tested: none. Workflow only.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Validation now checks optional pinout images, schematic PDFs, and instruction files for newly added boards. Missing optional assets are reported separately and do not fail validation; missing required assets still cause validation to fail.
    • Pull request comments distinguish required failures from optional findings and reflect current validation results. Comments are removed when validation succeeds or no boards are added, and retained if validation crashes without producing results.

📝 Walkthrough

The workflow checks optional board pinouts, schematics, and instructions. Missing required assets still fail validation. Pull request comments distinguish required failures from optional findings and reflect the current validation results.

Changes: Board asset validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Optional asset checks
.github/workflows/maintenance-check-board-assets.yml
The workflow checks for PNG pinouts, PDF schematics, and Markdown instructions. It tracks optional missing assets separately; only missing required assets cause validation to fail.
Pull request comment handling
.github/workflows/maintenance-check-board-assets.yml
The workflow creates or updates a marked comment when required or optional assets are missing. It uses different headings and footers for required failures and optional-only findings. It deletes the matching comment after successful validation or when no new boards remain. If validation produces no outputs, it retains an existing comment. It also recognizes legacy required-failure comments.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 107f4

A board config with no vendor fails the check, but its optional-asset findings are not reported until the vendor is fixed. This is a minor gap that does not block merging.

Comment thread .github/workflows/maintenance-check-board-assets.yml Outdated
@github-actions github-actions Bot added the Work in progress Unfinished / work in progress label Oct 18, 2026
A later push can change the result. The comment stayed at the first one:
the step skipped when any matching comment existed.

Now the step updates the comment, and deletes it when nothing is missing.
It runs whenever the PR adds a board, not only on a finding.

A hidden marker identifies our comment. Matching the heading alone also
matched other bots, which quote it when they review this workflow.

A delete needs the validation to have succeeded. A crashed step writes no
outputs, and must not look like an all-clear.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Check optional assets before skipping a board with no vendor.

If a new board lacks BOARD_VENDOR, Line 151 continues before this loop runs. The comment reports the required vendor error but omits that board’s missing pinout, schematic, and instructions. Move the optional checks before the vendor-dependent logo check so one comment reports all missing assets.

Move the optional asset checks for pinouts, schematics, and instructions ahead
of the `BOARD_VENDOR` early-continue in the board-check workflow, while keeping
the logo check vendor-dependent. Ensure a board missing its vendor still has all
missing assets included in the same comment.

Comment thread .github/workflows/maintenance-check-board-assets.yml Outdated
A revision can remove the board config it added. The validation step is
then skipped, the comment step did not run, and the old comment stayed.

The comment step now runs after any successful scan. It deletes the
comment when the PR adds no board any more.
