Action is not discovering any files to count

[dandavison]

Thanks for this tool. Would you be able to tell me what I am doing wrong here: https://github.com/dandavison/delta/pull/433? It seems not to be discovering any code to count.

It appears that the line counter does not recurse through the directory you set to scan. Since your code is in src this might explain why it's not finding it. I tried setting the directory to ./src/ and other variants, but this always results in the error UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: (s || "").replace is not a function. Instead, I set my pattern to src/*.jl (for Julia files) and it worked. A similar approach might work for you.

After some experimenting I managed to get it working as expected. I think using actions/checkout@v2 rather than v1 did the trick. That's assuming you're using checkout to begin with. 🤷

Below is my yaml workflow file. I hope this is useful or at least points anyone in the right direction.

name: Lines of Code

Outputs to .github/cloc.svg
