Configure Secrets

# Store ClickUp token in GitHub Secrets
gh secret set CLICKUP_API_TOKEN --body "pk_12345678_YOUR_TOKEN"

# Store test list ID (for integration tests to create/delete test tasks)
gh secret set CLICKUP_TEST_LIST_ID --body "900100200300"

Integration Test Suite

// tests/integration/clickup-ci.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect, afterAll } from 'vitest';

const TOKEN = process.env.CLICKUP_API_TOKEN!;
const TEST_LIST = process.env.CLICKUP_TEST_LIST_ID!;
const BASE = 'https://api.clickup.com/api/v2';
const createdTaskIds: string[] = [];

async function api(path: string, options?: RequestInit) {
  const res = await fetch(`${BASE}${path}`, {
    ...options,
    headers: { 'Authorization': TOKEN, 'Content-Type': 'application/json', ...options?.headers },
  });
  return { status: res.status, data: await res.json() };
}

describe('ClickUp API Integration', () => {
  it('authenticates successfully', async () => {
    const { status, data } = await api('/user');
    expect(status).toBe(200);
    expect(data.user.id).toBeDefined();
  });

  it('creates a task in test list', async () => {
    const { status, data } = await api(`/list/${TEST_LIST}/task`, {
      method: 'POST',
      body: JSON.stringify({
        name: `CI Test Task - ${new Date().toISOString()}`,
        description: 'Created by CI pipeline, safe to delete',
        priority: 4,
      }),
    });
    expect(status).toBe(200);
    expect(data.id).toBeDefined();
    createdTaskIds.push(data.id);
  });

  it('reads the created task', async () => {
    const { status, data } = await api(`/task/${createdTaskIds[0]}`);
    expect(status).toBe(200);
    expect(data.name).toContain('CI Test Task');
  });

  afterAll(async () => {
    // Cleanup: delete test tasks
    for (const id of createdTaskIds) {
      await api(`/task/${id}`, { method: 'DELETE' });
    }
  });
});

Sync CI Status to ClickUp Task

// scripts/update-clickup-task.ts
// Run after deploy: npx tsx scripts/update-clickup-task.ts TASK_ID "deployed"
async function updateTaskFromCI(taskId: string, newStatus: string) {
  const response = await fetch(
    `https://api.clickup.com/api/v2/task/${taskId}`,
    {
      method: 'PUT',
      headers: {
        'Authorization': process.env.CLICKUP_API_TOKEN!,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({ status: newStatus }),
    }
  );

  if (!response.ok) {
    console.error(`Failed to update task ${taskId}:`, await response.text());
    process.exit(1);
  }
  console.log(`Task ${taskId} status updated to "${newStatus}"`);
}

const [taskId, status] = process.argv.slice(2);
updateTaskFromCI(taskId, status);
