GitHub Actions Status

GitHub Action to run PSScriptAnalyzer static code analysis checks on PowerShell for Pull Requests.

Success Criteria

By default, this action will succeed if zero PSScriptAnalyzer errors and warnings are found. Failing on errors, warnings, or informational issues can be configured. See Usage below. The sending of comments back to the PR if the action fails can be disabled if desired.

Usage

Basic

Basic configuration that will run PSSA and fail on errors or warnings, and send a comment back to the PR with a summary. Note, that repoToken is required for sending comments back.

name: CI
on: [pull_request]
jobs:
  lint:
    name: Run PSSA
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - name: lint
      uses: devblackops/github-action-psscriptanalyzer@master
      with:
        repoToken: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Advanced

Advanced configuration that will run PSSA only in the MyModule directory, with custom PSSA settings, and fail on errors, warnings, or informational issues. A comment back to the PR with the PSSA summary will also be sent if any issues were detected.

name: CI
on: [pull_request]
jobs:
  lint:
    name: Run PSSA
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - name: lint
      uses: devblackops/github-action-psscriptanalyzer@master
      with:
        rootPath: MyModule
        settingsPath: pssa_settings.psd1
        sendComment: true
        repoToken: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        failOnErrors: true
        failOnWarnings: true
        failOnInfos: true
