Supporting action output

Open davidmally-at opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

👋 Hi! My team has been using this action, and we were wondering if it's possible to get the summary output from the action to use in subsequent workflow steps. A fake example: image

We'd like to have this summary output available as output from the action itself, so that we can do things like post it as a comment on the PR that corresponds to the workflow run, notify people in Slack, etc. Is that supported today and I'm just missing it? If not, I would be happy to put together a pull request to support this.

Hi @davidmally-at! I don't think we have anything in place to support the use case you're proposing, a PR would be extremely welcome! 🙇

I'd also support this feature request.

The summary used for a PR comment is compiled. All that is left to do is output that from the workflow so that it could be picked up by later steps.

If that's all that's desired, then it'd be a pretty easy thing to do right here: https://github.com/actions/dependency-review-action/blob/80f10bf419f34980065523f5efca7ebed17576aa/src/comment-pr.ts#L16-L23

This functionality is now available in the latest release of the Action (4.1.2) thanks to @jsoref. You can find an example here of how to use the output. Closing this issue.
