# Sticky Pull Request Comment
Create a comment on a pull request, if it exists update that comment.
This library runs with GitHub Actions. If you feel that the example grammar below is not friendly enough, we recommend reading [this page](https://docs.github.com/en/actions) first.
## Usage
### Basic
You need to add permissions for this tool.
```yaml
permissions:
pull-requests: write
```
```yaml
uses: marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment@v2
with:
message: |
Release ${{ github.sha }} to <https://pr-${{ github.event.number }}.example.com>
```
### Keep more than one comment
In some cases, different actions may require different comments. The header allows you to maintain comments independently.
````yaml
release:
...
- uses: marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment@v2
with:
header: release
message: |
Release ${{ github.sha }} to <https://pr-${{ github.event.number }}.example.com>
test:
...
- name: Run Test
run: |
EOF=$(dd if=/dev/urandom bs=15 count=1 status=none | base64)
echo "test_result<<$EOF" >> "$GITHUB_ENV"
rake test >> "$GITHUB_ENV"
echo "$EOF" >> "$GITHUB_ENV"
- uses: marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment@v2
with:
header: test
message: |
```
${{ env.test_result }}
```
````
### Append after comment every time it runs
````yaml
test:
...
- name: Run Test
run: |
EOF=$(dd if=/dev/urandom bs=15 count=1 status=none | base64)
echo "test_result<<$EOF" >> "$GITHUB_ENV"
rake test >> "$GITHUB_ENV"
echo "$EOF" >> "$GITHUB_ENV"
- uses: marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment@v2
with:
append: true
message: |
Test with ${{ github.sha }}.
```
${{ env.test_result }}
```
````
### Comment from push
If for some reason, triggering on pr is not possible, you can use push.
```yaml
- uses: jwalton/gh-find-current-pr@v1
id: finder
- uses: marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment@v2
with:
number: ${{ steps.finder.outputs.pr }}
message: |
Test ${{ github.sha }} ended successfully.
This message is from a push.
```
### Read comment from a file
```yaml
uses: marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment@v2
with:
path: path-to-comment-contents.txt
```
### Delete the previous comment and add a comment at the end
```yaml
uses: marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment@v2
with:
recreate: true
message: |
Release ${{ github.sha }} to <https://pr-${{ github.event.number }}.example.com>
```
### Delete previous comment
```yaml
uses: marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment@v2
with:
header: <same-header-as-the-step-that-added-the-comment>
delete: true
```
### Hide the previous comment and add a comment at the end
```yaml
uses: marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment@v2
with:
hide_and_recreate: true
hide_classify: "OUTDATED"
message: |
Release ${{ github.sha }} to <https://pr-${{ github.event.number }}.example.com>
```
### Hide previous comment
```yaml
uses: marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment@v2
with:
header: <same-header-as-the-step-that-added-the-comment>
hide: true
hide_classify: "OUTDATED"
```
### Error: Resource not accessible by integration
This tool requires write permission, and that message means the requester does not have enough permission.
Recently, GitHub sets permissions conservatively for newly created repositories. If it's a newly created repository, check your Settings > Actions > General > Workflow permissions, and make sure to enable read and write permissions.
Then, you can specify permissions for the job like this:
```yaml
permissions:
pull-requests: write
```
For more detailed information about permissions, you can read from the link below:
<https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-jobs/assigning-permissions-to-jobs>
