When using plan output file as source, -patch option seems to create a new comment every time

[jamengual]

tfcmt version

4.14.0

Environment

• OS: linux
• CPU Architecture: amd64

Overview

when using this strategy :

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -u

tfcmt plan -- terraform plan 2>&1 | tee result.txt
code=${PIPESTATUS[0]}
tfcmt --output plan.md plan -patch -- bash -c "cat result.txt && exit "$code""

tfcmt seems to post new comments every time. This does not happen when running plan directly without --output as a parameter using the same version.

How to reproduce

Debug output

$ 

Expected behaviour

You should use -patch in the first command because it posts a comment to GitHub.
The second command outputs the result to plan.md so -patch option has no meaning.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -u

tfcmt plan -patch -- terraform plan 2>&1 | tee result.txt
code=${PIPESTATUS[0]}
tfcmt --output plan.md plan -- bash -c "cat result.txt && exit "$code""

ah, yes, you are correct; I will try that.
