Sourced from lycheeverse/lychee-action's releases.

Version 1.3.0

Update lychee bin to 0.8.2, with directory support.

This will be the default in the next major version, but can already be tested with the following config:

- name: Link Checker
  uses: lycheeverse/lychee-action@v1.3.0
  with:
    # Recursively check all supported files (html, markdown for now) in repo
    args: --verbose --no-progress .

lychee supports plaintext files as well as many other formats, but as of now lychee . is conservative and will only check HTML and Markdown files. So it should be a safe replacement for the current default: './**/*.md' './**/*.html'. It should also be faster and will use less file-handles than glob patterns.

Other highlights of lychee 0.8.2:

• Improve concurrency with streams (lycheeverse/lychee#330)
• Fix false-positives for special Github URLs (like /sponsors or /marketplace)
• Add support for .lycheeignore file lycheeverse/lychee#308 (lycheeverse/lychee#402)

Especially the .lycheeignore part should be helpful for folks that used workarounds like custom ignore files before. This is now a native feature of lychee. See lycheeverse/lychee#308 for more info.

Version 1.2.1

Fix evaluating glob patterns

Glob patterns were not properly evaluated for three reasons:

1. Quotes around globs were not preserved. As a result, unquoted wildcards were evaluated by bash instead of lychee
2. ** patterns handled by the glob crate need to be prefixed with a separator, e.g. ./. See code here and here. We should probably switch to globset at some point, which doesn't have that limitation.
3. The lychee command itself needs to be executed with eval to make it find links. Otherwise it interprets the input argument (${ARGS[@]}) as a string and tries to find links within that string. (String input is supported by lychee). We want to interpret it as individual (whitespace-separated) arguments however. (Note that Github Actions doesn't support arrays as inputs, which prevents us from using array splitting.)

Recommended usage inside pipelines: Surround glob patterns with single quotes and prefix them with ./.

- name: Link Checker
  uses: lycheeverse/lychee-action@v1.1.1
  with:
    # Check all Markdown and HTML files
    args: --verbose --no-progress './**/*.md' './**/*.html'
