Configure GitHub action

[pburgisser]

Hi,

I'm trying to use commitsar as a GH Action with my own config file but I don't know how to set the config in the action
I tried the following combinations:

env:
  COMMITSAR_CONFIG_PATH: ".github/linters/commitsar.yaml"
# or
with:
  COMMITSAR_CONFIG_PATH: ".github/linters/commitsar.yaml"
# or
with:
  config: '.github/linters/commitsar.yaml'
# or
env:
   config: '.github/linters/commitsar.yaml'

But at run, commitsar says there is no config file set:

Run aevea/[email protected]
  with:
    config: .github/linters/commitsar.yaml
  env:
    config: .github/linters/commitsar.yaml

Thanks a lot

I managed to make it work using environment variables like this:

(...)
- name: Commitsar check
  uses: docker://aevea/commitsar
  env:
    COMMITSAR_CONFIG_PATH : ./.github

My repository is structured like this:

• .github/workflows/conventional-commits.yml contains the github action with the code from above.
• .github/.commitsar.yml is the configuration file.
