Research direction

Start by locating the GitHub Action's input definitions and the path that submits a pull-request review. Add coverage for the new optional input, its false default, and the case where violation outputs are still available without submitting a review; run the action's existing tests or workflow checks.

Description

Product Area

The “Run Salesforce Code Analyzer” GitHub Action

Your Need or Problem

Currently, if I want to leverage the new num-sev{X}-violations-in-changed-files output variables I have to provide a github token with read access. Doing so leads to the action submitting a review for my PR.

I don't want the action to leave a review, I would simply like to know if there are violations in my changed files so that I can take actions against that in a following step. This is a pain point.

Your Desired Solution

I would like some sort of input variable that lets me disable the code review. This should default to false to ensure that no existing workflows are broken. This would allow me to make use of the newly introduced *in-chaged-files output variables without having a a review submitted via the action itself.

Something along the lines of:

disableReview:
  description: 'Prevents the action from submitting a review even if the github token is provided'
  required: false
  type: 'boolean'
  default: 'false'
