πŸš€ Frenck's GitHub Action for linting Home Assistant Add-ons.

About

This GitHub Action is able to validate/lint Home Assistant Add-on configuration files.

Besides checking for validity of add-on configuration files, it will also warn for default configurations that can be removed and cleaned up.

Usage

name: Lint
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
  build:
    name: Add-on configuration
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: ‡️ Check out code from GitHub
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: πŸš€ Run Home Assistant Add-on Lint
        uses: frenck/action-addon-linter@v2
        with:
          path: "./addon"

Arguments

Input Description Usage
path Path to the folder containing the add-on config.json file. Required
community Enable Home Assistant Community Add-ons mode, with specific checks. Optional

Updating the JSON Schema

For the larger part, JSON Schemas are used to validate the configuration files. The schema files for both the add-on config.json and build.json can be found in the src/ folder.

  • src/config.schema.json is used to validate config.json
  • src/build.schema.json is used to validate build.json

If you adjust the schema, please make sure they are pretty:

npx prettier --write ./src/config.schema.json

Changelog & Releases

This repository keeps a change log using GitHub's releases functionality.

Releases are based on Semantic Versioning, and use the format of MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. In a nutshell, the version will be incremented based on the following:

  • MAJOR: Incompatible or major changes.
  • MINOR: Backwards-compatible new features and enhancements.
  • PATCH: Backwards-compatible bugfixes and package updates.

Versions & Updating

You can specify which version of this GitHub Action your workflow should use. And even allowing for using the latest major or minor version.

For example; this will use release v1.1.1 of a GitHub Action:

- name: πŸš€ Run Home Assistant Add-on Lint
  uses: frenck/action-addon-linter@v1.1.1

While the following example, will use the v1.1.x minor release, for example if v1.1.2 is the latest releases (starting with v1.1), this will run v1.1.2:

- name: πŸš€ Run Home Assistant Add-on Lint
  uses: frenck/action-addon-linter@v1.1

As in the examples throughout the documentation, the following example is locked on major version, meaning any v1.x.x latest version will be used, as long as it is version 1.

- name: πŸš€ Run Home Assistant Add-on Lint
  uses: frenck/action-addon-linter@v1

Automatically update using Dependabot

The advantage of locking against a more specific version, is that it prevents surprises if an issue or breaking changes were introduced in a newer release.

The disadvantage of being more specific, is that it requires you to keep things up to date. Fortunately, GitHub has a tool for that, called: Dependabot.

Dependabot can automatically open a pull request on your repository to update this Action for you. You can instantly see if the new version works (as the pull request shows the success or failure status) and you can decide to merge it in by hitting the merge button. Quick, easy and always up2date.

To enable Dependabot, create a file called .github/dependabot.yaml:

version: 2
updates:
  - package-ecosystem: "github-actions"
    directory: "/"
    schedule:
      interval: daily

Your all set! Dependabot will now check (and update) your GitHub actions every day. 🀩
