It's easy enough to get taplo running in CI. Something like this should work (and version can be maintained with a regex in renovatebot):

  taplo:
    name: Taplo
    runs-on: ubuntu-22.04
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Install Taplo
        env:
          version: "0.8.1"
        run: |
          curl -Ls "https://github.com/tamasfe/taplo/releases/download/${{ env.version }}/taplo-full-linux-x86_64.gz" | \
          gzip -d > taplo && \
          chmod +x taplo && \
          sudo mv taplo /usr/local/bin/taplo
      - name: Run Taplo
        run: taplo validate --colors never --no-schema

..that said. The very helpful CLI output is very complicated to parse with a problem matcher.

One way to improve this could be to support a custom output template, similar to actionlint. Another approach could be to have a custom format specifically catering problem matchers (which also could serve as a way get improved editor support).

Edit: For people just arriving, the better approach to this problem is to check if GITHUB_ACTIONS is set to true in the environment and emit github actions-consumable output.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm personally not convinced by sophisticated output (others may disagree). I just use Taplo in CI like this, i.e. by formatting then diffing using git (which has a nice unsophisticated output). (This is also related to #416 when CI as a use-case for Taplo was mentioned.)

That said, I'm not against this feature if someone is ready to design and implement it and someone else is ready to review it.

I think we could output https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-commands-for-github-actions#setting-an-error-message when GITHUB_CI is set (or whichever envvar GitHub used).

Was just coming back to suggest that! Probably the best approach.

when GITHUB_CI is set (or whichever envvar GitHub used).

Thinking either GITHUB_ACTIONS on its own or together with CI? https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/variables#default-environment-variables

Thinking either GITHUB_ACTIONS on its own

This should be sufficient.

I'm not entirely sure what the goal of this issue was but I think it would be great if we could turn @jbergstroem's original YAML code into a proper action and publish it.

I've adapted it into an action! https://github.com/uncenter/setup-taplo Tested and works on ubuntu-latest, macos-latest, and windows-latest runners.

The goal is outlined in original post, support for GitHub specific features such as code annotations from CI run.

Taplo as GitHub action is tracked in #326
