Annotations Action

This action creates annotations from a JSON file.

In order to use this action, you will need to generate a JSON file using the following format (all options from https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/rest/reference/checks#annotations-items are also supported and it's recommended to use them):

[
  {
    file: "path/to/file.js",
    line: 5,
    title: "title for my annotation",
    message: "my message",
    annotation_level: "failure"
  }
]

Permissions

It is possible you have a GITHUB_TOKEN with restricted access by default, in which case you might get the following error:

Error: GitHubApiUnauthorizedError: Unable to create a check, please make sure that the provided 'repo-token' has write permissions to 'your/repo' - cause: HttpError: Resource not accessible by integration

You need to provide the checks write permission:

permissions:
  checks: write

You can use permissions either as a top-level key, to apply to all jobs in the workflow, or within specific jobs. When you add the permissions key within a specific job, all actions and run commands within that job that use the GITHUB_TOKEN gain the access rights you specify.

IMPORTANT: Setting a permissions field will disable all omitted permissions, like the contents: read, which is needed to clone and read your repository.

You can learn more about GITHUB_TOKEN permissions at: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/automatic-token-authentication#permissions-for-the-github_token
