[Steampunk Spotter] is an Ansible Playbook Platform that scans, analyzes,

this action.## Usage
To integrate [Steampunk Spotter] with your GitHub CI/CD pipeline, you have to
specify the name of this repository with a tag number as a step within your
YAML workflow file.For example, inside your `.github/workflows/ci.yml` file:
```yaml
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@master
- uses: xlab-steampunk/spotter-action@
```### Inputs
The action accepts the following inputs:| Name | Required | Default | Description |

| `exclude_values` | no | false | Omits parsing and uploading values from Ansible playbooks. |
| `exclude_metadata` | no | false | Omits collecting and uploading metadata (i.e., file names, line and column numbers). |

| `no_docs_url` | no | false | Omits documentation URLs from the output. |
| `no_scan_url` | no | true | Omits scan URL from the output. |
| `ansible_version` | no | / | Ansible version to use for scanning. If not specified, all Ansible versions are considered for scanning. |
| `profile` | no | / | Sets profile with selected set of checks to be used for scanning. |

The action will take into account the following environment variables:* `SPOTTER_ENDPOINT`: Steampunk Spotter API endpoint (instead of default
https://api.spotter.steampunk.si/api).
* `SPOTTER_TOKEN`: Steampunk Spotter API token (can be generated in the
user settings within the Spotter App);
* `SPOTTER_USERNAME`: Steampunk Spotter username;
* `SPOTTER_PASSWORD`: Steampunk Spotter password.We encourage you to authenticate by setting `SPOTTER_TOKEN` instead of old
`SPOTTER_USERNAME` and `SPOTTER_PASSWORD` environment variables.### Examples
Here are some examples of how to use this GH Action.Minimal example that scans the whole repository would look like this:
```yaml
name: Minimal CI/CD workflow for Steampunk Spotter
on: [push]
jobs:
run:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: xlab-steampunk/spotter-action@
env:
SPOTTER_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SPOTTER_TOKEN }}
```A more complex example with multiple action inputs is the following:
```yaml
name: More complex CI/CD workflow for Steampunk Spotter
on: [push]
jobs:
run:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout repository
uses: actions/checkout@v3- name: Scan Ansible content with different inputs
uses: xlab-steampunk/spotter-action@
with:
endpoint: https://api.spotter.steampunk.si/api
api_token: ${{ secrets.SPOTTER_TOKEN }}
config: config.yaml
paths: playbook.yaml
exclude_values: true
exclude_metadata: true
display_level: error
no_docs_url: true
ansible_version: 2.16
profile: full
skip_checks: E001,E903[fqcn=sensu.sensu_go.user]
