Sticky Pull Request Comment

Create a comment on a pull request, if it exists update that comment. This library runs with GitHub Actions. If you feel that the example grammar below is not friendly enough, we recommend reading this page first.

Usage

Basic

uses: marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment@v2
with:
  message: |
    Release ${{ github.sha }} to <https://pr-${{ github.event.number }}.example.com>

Keep more than one comment

In some cases, different actions may require different comments. The header allows you to maintain comments independently.

release:
  ...
  - uses: marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment@v2
    with:
      header: release
      message: |
        Release ${{ github.sha }} to <https://pr-${{ github.event.number }}.example.com>

test:
  ...
  - name: Run Test
    id: test
    run: |
      OUTPUT=$(rake test)
      OUTPUT="${OUTPUT//'%'/'%25'}​【7,6 m】"
      OUTPUT="${OUTPUT//$'\n'/'%0A'}"
      OUTPUT="${OUTPUT//$'\r'/'%0D'}"
      echo "::set-output name=result::$OUTPUT"
  - uses: marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment@v2
    with:
      header: test
      message: |
        ```
        ${{ steps.test.outputs.result }}
        ```

Append after comment every time it runs

test:
  ...
  - name: Run Test
    id: test
    run: |
      OUTPUT=$(rake test)
      OUTPUT="${OUTPUT//'%'/'%25'}​【7,6 m】"
      OUTPUT="${OUTPUT//$'\n'/'%0A'}"
      OUTPUT="${OUTPUT//$'\r'/'%0D'}"
      echo "::set-output name=result::$OUTPUT"
  - uses: marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment@v2
    with:
      append: true
      message: |
        Test with ${{ github.sha }}.
        ```
        ${{ steps.test.outputs.result }}
        ```

Comment from push

If for some reason, triggering on pr is not possible, you can use push.

- uses: jwalton/gh-find-current-pr@v1
  id: finder
- uses: marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment@v2
  with:
    number: ${{ steps.finder.outputs.pr }}
    message: |
      Test ${{ github.sha }} ended successfully.
      This message is from a push.

Read comment from a file

uses: marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment@v2
with:
  path: path-to-comment-contents.txt

Delete the previous comment and add a comment at the end

uses: marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment@v2
with:
  recreate: true
  message: |
    Release ${{ github.sha }} to <https://pr-${{ github.event.number }}.example.com>

Delete previous comment
