GitHub action for Parsiphae, a WIP compiler for the Daedalus scripting language, written by and maintained by @Lehona.

Checks are added to commits and performed on pull requests.

Create a new GitHub Actions workflow in your project, e.g. at .github/workflows/scripts.yml. The content of the file should be in the following format:

name: scripts

# Trigger workflow on push events with changes in SRC or D files
on:
  push:
    paths:
      - '**.src'
      - '**.d'

# These permissions are necessary for creating the check runs
permissions:
  contents: read
  checks: write

# The checkout action needs to be run first
jobs:
  parsiphae:
    name: Run Parsiphae on scripts
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Check scripts
        uses: szapp/parsiphae-action@v1
        with:
          file: _work/Data/Scripts/Content/Gothic.src
          check-name: # Optional (see below)
          cache: # Optional
          token: # Optional

• file: File path within the repository of the D file or the SRC file to parse, e.g. _work\Data\Scripts\Content\Gothic.src
  Required

• check-name: Specify a different name for the check run. Useful to differentiate checks if there are multiple instances of this action in one workflow.
  Defaults to 'Parsiphae'

• cache: Cache the Parsiphae built in between workflow runs. This greatly increases speed of the check as Parsiphae is not cloned and re-built every time. The cached executable is specific to the workflow runner OS and the Parsiphae version.
  Defaults to true

• token: The GITHUB_TOKEN to authenticate on behalf of GitHub Actions.
  Defaults to the GitHub token, i.e. checks are created by the GitHub Actions bot.

The way GitHub check suites are designed, there will be two check statuses attached to a commit when using the 'push' event trigger. One check status is the actual check run containing the error report and line annotations, the second one is the workflow run. Unfortunately, the creation of the superfluous workflow check status cannot be suppressed.

One workaround is to delete the entire workflow after the checks have been performed, effectively removing the check status from the commit. However, this is not possible with the default GITHUB_TOKEN, to avoid recursive workflow runs. To remove the additional status check, call this GitHub Action with an authentication token of a GitHub App and enable the check_run event with completed (see below). For more details the issue, see here. Always leave the additional input cleanup-token at its default.

name: scripts

on:
  push:
    paths:
      - '**.src'
      - '**.d'
  check_run:
    types: completed

permissions:
  contents: read
  checks: write
  actions: write

jobs:
  parsiphae:
    name: Run Parsiphae on scripts
    if: github.event_name != 'check_run' || github.event.check_run.external_id == format('{0}-0', github.workflow)
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
