# action-approve-failure

GitHub action that let's you turn failure into success. For a short while.

## Example

Presume you have a couple of jobs that run on pull requests.

(These are merely examples but take a look in `.github/workflows` for closer inspection)

```yaml

name: Checks

on: pull_request

jobs:

  checks:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:

      - uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - uses: LouisBrunner/checks-action@v1

        with:

          token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

          name: BackstopJS visual test

          conclusion: failure

      - uses: LouisBrunner/checks-action@v1

        with:

          token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

          name: ESLint

          conclusion: failure

```

These jobs might from time to time need to be forced into success since a failure

might just be a new state.

In comes `action-approve-failure`:

```yaml

name: Approve failure

on:

  issue_comment:

    types: [created]

jobs:

  approve-failure:

    # This condition is important since you want to prevent all of the steps

    # from running as early as possible if the comment isn't in a PR.

    if: ${{ github.event.issue.pull_request }}

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:

      - uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - uses: reload/action-approve-failure@main

        name: Approve BackstopJS

        with:

          github_token: ${{ github.token }}

          type: status

          name: BackstopJS visual test

          approve_comment: backstop-check approve

      - uses: reload/action-approve-failure@main

        name: Approve ESLint

        with:

          github_token: ${{ github.token }}

          type: check

          name: ESLint

          approve_comment: eslint-check approve

```

Now, by simply commenting `backstop-check approve` you can turn that `failure`

into a `success`. The victory is short lived though. Whenever the PR get's

updated and the jobs re-run your override will be lost and you are forced to

yet again determine if this failure is change of state or an actual failure.
