go-linter-runner

Use GitHub Actions to run Go linters on public Go repositories and report the results as issue comments.

Background

After implementing certain linters or linter idea, you may want to check if online repositories also have similar problem. For example, https://github.com/alingse/asasalint and https://github.com/ashanbrown/makezero#15 have discovered a large number of online bugs.

However, manually observing the Actions results and ignoring certain specific errors can be quite tedious, so this project can be used to automate the process.

Usage

It is recommended to integrate this into your GitHub Workflow.

Configure a workflow to run for a single Repository

Refer to the .github/workflows/go-linter-runner.yml configuration to set up the parameters for installing and running the linter.

- name: Example -> go-linter-runner run with yaml job config
  uses: alingse/[email protected]
  with:
    action: run
    yaml_config: .github/jobs/alingse-makezero.yaml
    repo_url: ${{ inputs.repo_url }}
  env:
    GH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

- name: Example -> go-linter-runner use direct job config
  uses: alingse/[email protected]
  with:
    action: run
    install_command: go install github.com/alingse/makezero@f6a823578e89de5cdfdfef50d4a5d9a09ade16dd
    linter_command: makezero
    includes: '["go", "github"]'
    excludes: '["assigned by index", "funcall", "called by funcs"]'
    issue_id: 1
    repo_url: ${{ inputs.repo_url }}
  env:
    GH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Configure a workflow to submit multiple run tasks

Refer to the .github/workflows/go-linter-runner-submit.yml configuration to set up the information needed to submit the tasks.

- name: Submit go-linter-runner actions for repos
  uses: alingse/[email protected]
  with:
    action: submit
    submit_source_file: ${{ inputs.source }}
    submit_repo_count: ${{ inputs.count }}
    submit_workflow: ${{ inputs.workflow }}
  env:
    GH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
