Suggestion: trigger a build on a pull request to have some assurance that the PR is compatible

Maybe it's possible to run a preview build and test it somehow to get confidence that it doesn't just refuse to run... 🤔

Great shout! What's the best way to implement this?

[AndrzejProchyra]

Hmm... dunno about "best", 🙂 but there seem to be various ways to do it. I Googled a bit and I think the simplest is to make the deploy job conditional on the branch being master. We can try adding the following to the deploy job:

if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/master'

And add the additional workflow trigger:

pull_request:
    branches: [ main ]

GitHub Actions is one of those things that's so flexible that it's really hard to just get a "just tell me what to do!" answer from the docs...

I'll have a go in my fork and maybe do a PR

OK, that works, but we should also make the Pages artefact upload conditional on the branch name. Is it possible to set up different environments so that you can visually inspect a PR build to see if it even runs? And are there good automated tests to check if the game starts up?
