Count the number of lines with difference

Description

What is this?

This is a simple GitHub Action that counts the number of lines differed between two branches in a pull request.

What specifically this action does is as follows:

1. It counts the number of lines with addition and deletion (i.e., lines beginning with + or -) in the diff of a pull request.
2. If the sum exceeds the first threshold, it posts a warning while it's still marked as a success.
3. If the sum exceeds the second threshold, it raises an error and returns a failure.

The two thresholds are set to 300 and 500 by default, but you can change them by setting the good-num-lines and max-num-lines inputs respectively.

How to use it?

The following is an example of a workflow file that triggers the action on pull request events. Copy and paste it to your workflow file, and you're good to go. You do not need to set any secrets for this action as GITHUB_TOKEN is automatically provided by GitHub Actions.

on:
  pull_request:
    types:
      - opened

jobs:
  check:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions: write-all # required to post a warning
    steps:
      - uses: NMZ0429/diff_CI@v1.5
        with:
          good-num-lines: 200 # optional: default is 300
          max-num-lines: 400 # optional: default is 500
          ignore: '["**/*.d.ts", "**/*.jpg"]' # optional: default is '[]'
          disable-branches: '["develop", "main"]' # optional: default is ""
          github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Warning

• Please use single quotes for the ignore input. Then use double quotes inside the single quotes.
