# Shopify CI Integration

## Overview

Set up CI/CD pipelines for Shopify apps using GitHub Actions, including API version compatibility testing, Shopify CLI deployment, and extension validation.

## Prerequisites

- GitHub repository with Actions enabled
- Shopify Partner account with CLI access
- Test store access token for integration tests

## Instructions

### Step 1: GitHub Actions Workflow

Create a workflow with lint, test, API version check, and deploy jobs.

See [GitHub Actions Workflow](references/github-actions-workflow.md) for the complete `.github/workflows/shopify-ci.yml` file.

### Step 2: Configure Secrets

```bash
# Store these in GitHub repository secrets
gh secret set SHOPIFY_API_KEY --body "your_api_key"
gh secret set SHOPIFY_API_SECRET --body "your_api_secret"
gh secret set SHOPIFY_TEST_STORE --body "your-dev-store.myshopify.com"
gh secret set SHOPIFY_TEST_TOKEN --body "shpat_test_token"
gh secret set SHOPIFY_PARTNERS_TOKEN --body "your_partners_cli_token"
```

### Step 3: Integration Test Structure

Write integration tests that verify store connectivity, required scopes, and rate limit compliance. Tests skip automatically when `SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN` is not set.

See [Integration Test Structure](references/integration-test-structure.md) for the complete Vitest test file.

## Output

- CI pipeline with lint, typecheck, unit tests, and integration tests
- API version deprecation monitoring
- Automated deployment via Shopify CLI
- Integration tests running against a test store

## Error Handling

| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| `SHOPIFY_PARTNERS_TOKEN` invalid | Token expired | Regenerate at partners.shopify.com |
| Integration tests timeout | Rate limited | Add delays or use test store with Plus |
| API version check fails | Deprecated version | Update to latest supported version |
| Deploy fails | App config mismatch | Run `shopify app config push` first |

## Examples

### Shopify CLI Token for CI

```bash
# Generate a CLI token for CI (no interactive login needed)
# Go to: partners.shopify.com > Settings > CLI tokens
# Create a new token and save as SHOPIFY_PARTNERS_TOKEN secret
```
