Introduction

This COntinuous Reproducibility with a Remote Execution Tool (CORRECT) action aims to allow users to execute their jobs (and by extension, CI flows) on Globus Compute Endpoints within their GitHub Action workflows.

Users are responsible for setting up their own Globus Compute Endpoints that will be used by the action. Furthermore, to bypass manual authentication within the action, it is necessary that the endpoints and the action are both configured to use a GLOBUS_COMPUTE_CLIENT_ID and GLOBUS_COMPUTE_CLIENT_SECRET (docs).

Usage

Using the action in a workflow can be done by adding the following step.

With a pre-registered function

- name: Run task on Globus Compute Endpoint
  id: gc-action
  uses: globus-labs/correct@v1
  with:
    client_id: ${{ secret.GLOBUS_COMPUTE_CLIENT_ID }}
    client_secret: ${{ secret.GLOBUS_COMPUTE_CLIENT_SECRET }}
    endpoint_uuid: <Globus Compute Endpoint UUID>
    function_uuid: <Registered Globus Compute function UUID>
    args: <List of arguments to pass to task>
    kwargs: <Dictionary of keyword arguments>

With a shell command

- name: Run task on Globus Compute Endpoint
  id: gc-action
  uses: globus-labs/correct@v1
  with:
    client_id: ${{ secret.GLOBUS_COMPUTE_CLIENT_ID }}
    client_secret: ${{ secret.GLOBUS_COMPUTE_CLIENT_SECRET }}
    endpoint_uuid: <Globus Compute Endpoint UUID>
    shell_cmd: '<shell command to run on remote resources>'

Example

- name: Run GC Action
  id: gc-action
  uses: globus-labs/correct@v1
  with:
    client_id: ${{ secrets.GLOBUS_COMPUTE_CLIENT_ID }}
    client_secret: ${{ secrets.GLOBUS_COMPUTE_CLIENT_SECRET }}
    endpoint_uuid: 'f8e95115-0d66-41fe-88d8-ecf8c3bf59fd'
    function_uuid: '02ea7614-be2e-4df0-9d23-643b6d8a6499'
    args: '[]'
    kwargs: '{"inpt": "test"}'
- name: Run GC Action
  id: gc-action
  uses: globus-labs/correct@v1
  with:
    client_id: ${{ secrets.GLOBUS_COMPUTE_CLIENT_ID }}
    client_secret: ${{ secrets.GLOBUS_COMPUTE_CLIENT_SECRET }}
    endpoint_uuid: 'f8e95115-0d66-41fe-88d8-ecf8c3bf59fd'
    shell_cmd: 'pytest'

Obtaining task execution outputs

The output of the execution of a GC task is returned as a JSON dictionary via the steps.<step_id>.outputs.output variable. For example, a job defined as follows:

- name: Run GC Action
  id: gc-action
  uses: globus-labs/correct@v1
  with:
    client_id: ${{ secrets.GLOBUS_COMPUTE_CLIENT_ID }}
    client_secret: ${{ secrets.GLOBUS_COMPUTE_CLIENT_SECRET }}
    endpoint_uuid: 'f8e95115-0d66-41fe-88d8-ecf8c3bf59fd'
    function_uuid: '02ea7614-be2e-4df0-9d23-643b6d8a6499'
    args: '[]'
    kwargs: '{"inpt": "test"}'
- name: Print Output
  id: output
  run: echo "${{ steps.gc-action.outputs.output }}"

May return the following output:

{
  task_id: '35363d35-a3a9-4db7-bc46-4a8d92941188',
  status: 'success',
  result: '00\ngASVEwAAAAAAAAB9lIwEaW5wdJSMBXdvcmxklHMu\n',
  completion_t: '1738514959.424744',
  details: {
    os: 'macOS-15.0.1-arm64-arm-64bit',
    dill_version: '0.3.9',
    python_version: '3.12.0',
    globus_compute_sdk_version: '3.0.1',
    endpoint_id: 'f8e95115-0d66-41fe-88d8-ecf8c3bf59fd',
    task_transitions: {
      'execution-start': 1738514959.122622,
      'execution-end': 1738514959.14045
    }
  }
