This allows you to easily install and run diKTat in Kotlin projects.

name: Run diKTat

on:
  push:
    branches: [ main ]

jobs:
  diktat:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: marcospereira/kotlin-diktat-action

The action accepts inputs based on what diKTat CLI supports, but filters out a few options.

The supported inputs are:

• patterns: A list of files to process by diktat

  • Default: "src/main/kotlin"
  • Examples:

    patterns: "src/main/kotlin src/test/kotlin src/functionalTest/kotlin"

    patterns: "src/**/*.kt"

• config: specify the location of the YAML configuration file. By default, diktat-analysis.yml in the current directory is used

  • Default: "diktat-analysis.yml"
  • Examples:

    config: configs/diktat-analysis.yml

• reporter: The reporter to use to log errors to output. Value should be one of checkstyle, html, json, plain, plain_group_by_file, sarif

  • Default: empty, meaning it will use the CLI's default (plain)
  • Examples:

    reporter: "html"
    output: diktat-report.html

    reporter: "sarif"
    output: diktat-report.sarif

    [!IMPORTANT] When setting a reporter, it is also required to set output, and diktat CLI fails if one is set but not the other.

• output: Redirect the reporter output to a file. Must be provided when the reporter is provided

  • Default: empty
  • Examples: see reporter examples above.

• group-by-file: A flag to group found errors by files

  • Default: "false"
  • Examples:

    group-by-file: true

• log-level: Control the log level. Value should be one of error, warn, info, debug, trace

  • Default: "info"
  • Examples:

    log-level: "debug"

     log-level: "error"
