msvc-problem-matcher

Github Action to problem match output from MSVC. This allows warnings and errors from the compiler to be prominently featured in pull requests like so:

Matcher in action in pull request

This is a direct port of the $msCompile rule from vscode. Typical usage will be:

    - uses: ammaraskar/msvc-problem-matcher@master
    - name: Build Project
      run: msbuild project.sln

Note that this action does not build your code for you. It only makes the errors and warnings from your compiler more prominent.
