Run Sourcery as a GitHub Action that you can easily add to your Continuous Integration.

This action performs the following operations:

• Installs Sourcery on your worker machine
• Logs in to Sourcery using your access token
• Reviews your code

Note: the Sourcery GitHub Action is FREE for open-source projects.

Note: for private repositories, a TEAM subscription is required. Check out our pricing page to sign up.

To run Sourcery over your entire codebase whenever a push is done to the main branch:

name: Check codebase using Sourcery

on:
  push:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  review-with-sourcery:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - uses: actions/setup-python@v4
        with:
          python-version: '3.10'

      - uses: sourcery-ai/action@v1
        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.SOURCERY_TOKEN }}

We recommend you store your Sourcery token as a GitHub secret on your repository. In the example above, that secret was stored as SOURCERY_TOKEN.

You can retrieve your Sourcery token from your dashboard.

To run Sourcery only on the changed code in a PR:

name: Check PR using Sourcery

on: pull_request

jobs:
  review-with-sourcery:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0

      - uses: actions/setup-python@v4
        with:
          python-version: '3.10'

      - uses: sourcery-ai/action@v1
        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.SOURCERY_TOKEN }}
          diff_ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.base.sha }}

Note here that we pass the fetch-depth: 0 option to actions/checkout@v3. This is necessary because Sourcery needs access to both the current branch and the main branch in order to compute diffs.

Type: string

CLI equivalent: --token <token>

A Sourcery token. You can retrieve yours at the Sourcery dashboard.

We recommend you to store your token as a GitHub secret.

Type: string

Default: .

CLI equivalent: --target <target>

File(s) or directory(ies) for Sourcery to review.

This defaults to ".", meaning that Sourcery will review your entire project.

To review only the directories dir1/ and dir2/ along with the files file1.py and file2.py, pass them as space-separated strings:

- uses: sourcery-ai/action@v1
  with:
    token: ${{ secrets.SOURCERY_TOKEN }}
    target: dir1 dir2 file1.py file2.py

Type: string

Default: The latest Sourcery version available

CLI equivalent: None

The Sourcery CLI version to use.

This defaults to the latest version available.

To choose a specific version (let's say v1.5.0):

- uses: sourcery-ai/action@v1
  with:
    token: ${{ secrets.SOURCERY_TOKEN }}
    version: 1.5.0

We recommend you not to this option unless strictly necessary. Pinning a Sourcery version may leave you out from the awesome features we are working on - as well as bugfixes ;)

Type: either true or false

Default: true

CLI equivalent: --verbose

Enable or disable Sourcery's verbose output.

Type: either true or false

Default: true

CLI equivalent: --check

Whether Sourcery should return an error code or not if issues are found in the code.

This defaults to true, and hence the Sourcery CI step will fail in case Sourcery finds issues in your code. You can pass false to prevent that behavior.

Type: either true or false

Default: false

CLI equivalent: --fix

Whether Sourcery should automatically fix and modify the reviewed files in-place or not.

Type: string

Default: None

CLI equivalent: --config <config-path>

Path to a valid Sourcery configuration file.

By default, this searches the current directory and its parents for a .sourcery.yaml file.

To use a configuration file located elsewhere (for instance, at config_files/.my-team-rules.yaml):

- uses: sourcery-ai/action@v1
  with:
    token: ${{ secrets.SOURCERY_TOKEN }}
    config: config_files/.my-team-rules.yaml

Type: string

Default: None

CLI equivalent: --diff="git diff <diff_ref>"

A reference to compute a git diff.

This is not used by default. In this case, Sourcery will run over the entire target files.

To run Sourcery only on the changed lines in a PR, use:

- uses: sourcery-ai/action@v1
  with:
    token: ${{ secrets.SOURCERY_TOKEN }}
    diff_ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.base.sha }}
