GitHub workflow output format #10260
Description
Current problem
Hi there 👋,
GitHub supports a special output format for workflow, that enables the workflow to create code comments on pull-requests.
We currently use a GitHub workflow similar to this:
pylint: name: PyLint runs-on: ubuntu-latest env: DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE: my.app.settings strategy: matrix: type: - name: error enable: E,F disable: E0401 - name: warning enable: W disable: '' - name: notice enable: R,C disable: C0114,C0115,C0116 - name: debug enable: I disable: '' steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v4 - uses: actions/setup-python@v5 with: python-version-file: 'pyproject.toml' - run: python -m pip install pylint - run: pylint --load-plugins pylint_django --exit-zero --msg-template='::${{matrix.type.name}} file={path},line={line},lineEnd={end_line},col={column},colEnd={end_column},title={symbol} ({msg_id})::{msg}' --disable=all --enable=${{matrix.type.enable}} --disable=${{matrix.type.disable}} . --outHowever, this will cause PyLint to run multiple times, wasting precious compute time.
Desired solution
I'd love to native support --output-format=github that correctly sets the message type for GitHub. This is the only thing, that you currently can't achieve with --message-template.
Since GitHub is a rather popular collaboration platform, I believe this feature would be welcome by other community members 😉
