Qodana IntelliJ GitHub Action

While the Qodana GitHub app supports only public repositories, for private repositories use the Qodana GitHub action.

The Qodana GitHub action is a more general tool for easier continuous code inspection. Anyone with the write permission to a repository can set up a continuous code inspection with Qodana using GitHub actions.

How to start

Example GitHub Workflow (.github/workflows/qodana.yml):

  jobs:
    qodana:
      runs-on: ubuntu-latest
      steps:
        - uses: actions/checkout@v2
        - uses: actions/cache@v2
          with:
            path: ~/work/_temp/_github_home/cache
            key: ${{ runner.os }}-qodana-${{ github.ref }}
            restore-keys: |
              ${{ runner.os }}-qodana-${{ github.ref }}
              ${{ runner.os }}-qodana-   
        - uses: docker://jetbrains/qodana-<linter>
          with:
            args: --cache-dir=/github/home/cache --results-dir=/github/workspace/qodana --save-report --report-dir=/github/workspace/qodana/report
        - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
          with:
            path: qodana

Consider using a fail threshold to make the build fail when a certain number of problems is reached, and baseline mode, in which each new Qodana run is compared to some initial run selected as a "baseline". Running as non-root is also supported.

For detailed instructions, see the Qodana GitHub action on GitHub Marketplace.
