Run conftest test command with GitHub Actions

You can use the fixed version from: Releases

Usage

A whole example is here:

name: conftest

on: [pull_request]

jobs:
  conftest:
    name: conftest test
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: Checkout
      uses: actions/checkout@v1
    - name: Get changed objects
      uses: b4b4r07/action-changed-objects@master
      with:
        added: 'true'
        deleted: 'false'
        modified: 'true'
      id: objects
    - name: Run conftest test against changed files
      uses: b4b4r07/action-conftest@master
      if: steps.objects.outputs.changed
      with:
        files: ${{ steps.objects.outputs.changed }}
        matches: '*.yaml'
      id: conftest
    - name: Post conftest command result to GitHub comment
      uses: b4b4r07/action-github-comment@master
      if: always() && steps.conftest.outputs.result
      with:
        body: |
          ## conftest test result
          ```
          ${{ steps.conftest.outputs.result }}
          ```
      env:
        GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        LOG: trace

If you want to run conftest command against only changed config files, you need to use b4b4r07/action-changed-objects to get the changed files in Git commit. It defaults to compare with checkout-ed branch and origin/master branch.

In addition, you can filter the changed files, for example, let's say you want to test only changed JSON and YAML files:

      with:
        files: ${{ steps.objects.outputs.changed }}
        matches: '*.json manifests/*.yaml'

Besides, if you want to post the conftest test command result on your pull requests, you need to set the step Post conftest command result to GitHub comment. The contents of body is the message itself. You can configure it as Markdown. For more details, please see also b4b4r07/action-github-comment.

To put the comment on GitHub even if the previous conftest step is failed, you need to set always() condition like this:

      if: always() && steps.conftest.outputs.result

This means the comment will be posted to GitHub regardless of previous build step but at least the output of previous step needs to be not empty.

Customizing

inputs

The following are optional as step.with keys

Name	Type	Description	Default
`path`	String	Path to directory where config files are located	`.`
`policy`	String	Path to the Rego policy files directory	`policy`
`files`	String	A list of config file to be tested by conftest. Separated by a space
`matches`	String	A list of cases to be tested (e.g. ".yaml .json"). Separated by a space
`namespace`	String	Namespace name running with conftest testing
`all_namespaces`	Boolean	Enable --all-namespaces flag	`false`

When providing a path and files at the same time, files will be attempted first, then falling back on path if the files can not be got from.

The following outputs can be accessed via ${{ steps.<step-id>.outputs }} from this action
