Tokenless Invoke

Warning

Tokenless invoke is deprecated and will stop working soon.

Please migrate over to OIDC configurations.

Run tests from GitHub Actions without having to specify emulator.wtf API token

This option allows you to use the GITHUB_TOKEN instead of a normal emulator.wtf API token to invoke the tests. The GH token will be exchanged for a very short-lived emulator.wtf API token at invocation time.

To use this feature make sure it is enabled in GitHub integration settings in the emulator.wtf webpage and pass in secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN as the EW_API_TOKEN environment variable:

run-tests:
  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
  needs: build
  env:
    # use GH token instead as the EW API token
    EW_API_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
  steps:
    # ... normal build steps follow

This is useful for public repositories where you may not want to trigger builds with long-living tokens to incoming PRs.
