# Using custom transformers to customize GitHub Actions Importer's behavior
# Use custom transformers to customize GitHub Actions Importer's behavior
In this lab, you will build upon the `dry-run` command to override GitHub Actions Importer's default behavior and customize the converted workflow using "custom transformers." Custom transformers can be used to:
1. Convert items that are not automatically converted.
2. Convert items that were automatically converted using different actions.
3. Convert environment variable values differently.
4. Convert references to runners to use a different runner name in GitHub Actions.
## Prerequisites
1. Followed the steps [here](./readme.md#configure-your-codespace) to set up your GitHub Codespaces environment.
2. Completed the [configure lab](./1-configure.md#configuring-credentials).
3. Completed the [dry-run lab](./4-dry-run.md).
## Perform a dry run
You will be performing a `dry-run` command to inspect the workflow that is converted by default. Run the following command within the codespace terminal:
```bash
gh actions-importer dry-run bitbucket --output-dir tmp/dry-run --workspace actions-importer --repository node-deploy --source-file-path ./bitbucket/bootstrap/source_files/node_deploy.yml
```
The converted workflow that is generated by the above command can be seen below:

npm install eslint
npx eslint .
# # This item has no matching transformer
# - identifier: atlassian/unknown-azure-deploy:1.1.0
# name: Deploy to Production
# variables:
# AZURE_APP_ID: "$AZURE_APP_ID"
# AZURE_PASSWORD: "$AZURE_PASSWORD"
# AZURE_TENANT_ID: "$AZURE_TENANT_ID"
# AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP: "$AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP"
# AZURE_APP_NAME: my-site
# ZIP_FILE: my-package.zip
- uses: actions/[email protected]
with:
name: step_job_1
path: "*.zip"
```
</details>
_Note_: You can refer to the previous [lab](./4-dry-run.md) to learn about the fundamentals of the `dry-run` command.
## Custom transformers for an unknown step
The converted workflow above contains a `atlassian/unknown-azure-deploy` step that was not automatically converted. Let's write a custom transformer to handle this unknown pipe!
1) What is the "identifier" of the step to customize? This should be the identifier from the comment in the workflow without the version, or in other words the name of the pipe.
- __atlassian/unknown-azure-deploy__
2) What is the desired Actions syntax to use instead?
- After some research, you have determined that the [Azure Web App](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/azure-webapp) and [Azure Login](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/azure-login) actions in the marketplace will provide similar functionality:
```yaml
- uses: azure/[email protected]
with:
creds: "${{ secrets.AZURE_CREDENTIALS }}"
- uses: azure/[email protected]
with:
app-name: my-site
package: my-package.zip
resource-group-name: "$AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP"
```
Now you can begin to write the custom transformer. Custom transformers use a DSL built on top of Ruby and should be defined in a file with the `.rb` file extension. You can create this file by running the following command in your codespace terminal:
```bash
touch transformers.rb && code transformers.rb
```
Next, you will define a `transform` method for the `atlassian/unknown-azure-deploy` identifier by adding the following code to `transformers.rb`:
```ruby
transform "atlassian/unknown-azure-deploy" do |item|
[
{
"uses" => "azure/[email protected]",
"with" => {
"creds" => "${{ secrets.AZURE_CREDENTIALS }}"
}
},
{
"name" => "Upload coverage to Codecov",
"uses" => "azure/[email protected]",
"with" => {
"app-name" => "my-site",
"package" => item["variables"]["ZIP_FILE"],
"resource-group-name" => item["variables"]["AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP"]
}
}
]
end
```
This method can use any valid Ruby syntax and should return a `Hash` or `Array` that represents the YAML that should be generated for a given step. GitHub Actions Importer will use this method to convert a step with the provided identifier and will use the `item` parameter for the original values configured in Bitbucket. The structure of the item can be viewed by looking at the commented out step for the identifier in the workflow.
```yaml
identifier: atlassian/unknown-azure-deploy:1.1.0
name: Deploy to Production
variables:
AZURE_APP_ID: "$AZURE_APP_ID"
AZURE_PASSWORD: "$AZURE_PASSWORD"
AZURE_TENANT_ID: "$AZURE_TENANT_ID"
AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP: "$AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP"
AZURE_APP_NAME: my-site
ZIP_FILE: my-package.zip
```
To access the values of the zip file and resource group information in the transformer, we are using `item["variables"]["ZIP_FILE"]` and `item["variables"]["AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP"]`.
Now you can perform another `dry-run` command and use the `--custom-transformers` CLI option to provide this custom transformer. Run the following command within your codespace terminal:
```bash
gh actions-importer dry-run bitbucket --output-dir tmp/dry-run --workspace actions-importer --repository node-deploy --source-file-path ./bitbucket/bootstrap/source_files/node_deploy.yml --custom-transformers transformers.rb
```
The converted workflow that is generated by the above command will now use the custom logic for the `atlassian/unknown-azure-deplo` step.
## Custom transformers for runners
Next, we will use a custom transformers to dictate which runners the converted workflows should use. To do this, answer the following questions:
1. What is the label of the runner in Bitbucket to change?
- __my.custom.label__
2. What is the label of the runner in GitHub Actions to use instead?
- __some-other-runner__
With these questions answered, you can add the following code to the `transformers.rb` file:
```ruby
runner "my.custom.label", "some.other.label"
```
In this example, the first parameter to the `runner` method is the runner label in Bitbucket and the second is the new runner label to use in GitHub Actions.
Now you can perform another `dry-run` command with the `--custom-transformers` CLI option. When you open the converted workflow the `runs-on` statement will use the customized runner label:
```bash
gh actions-importer dry-run bitbucket --output-dir tmp/dry-run --workspace actions-importer --repository python --source-file-path ./bitbucket/bootstrap/source_files/python.yml --custom-transformers transformers.rb
```
> Note: we are using the python pipeline because that uses the `runs-on` with the target label.
```diff
runs-on:
- - my.custom.label
+ - some.other.label
```
At this point the file contents of `transformers.rb` should match this:
<details>
<summary><em>Custom transformers 👇</em></summary>
```ruby
runner "my.custom.label", "some-other-runner"
transform "atlassian/unknown-azure-deploy" do |item|
variables = item["variables"]
[
{
"uses" => "azure/[email protected]",
"with" => {
"creds" => "${{ secrets.AZURE_CREDENTIALS }}"
}
},
{
"name" => "Upload coverage to Codecov",
"uses" => "azure/[email protected]",
"with" => {
"app-name" => "my-site",
"package" => variables["ZIP_FILE"],
"resource-group-name" => variables["AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP"]
}
}
]
end
```
</details>
That's it. Congratulations, you have overridden GitHub Actions Importer's default behavior by customizing the conversion of:
- Unknown steps
- Runners
