Error: jq: error (at /tmp/tmp.cGzaIQjE6g.json:4): Cannot index string with string "user"

[ricardo-dematos]

With release 0.0.21 I'm getting Error: jq: error (at /tmp/tmp.cGzaIQjE6g.json:4): Cannot index string with string "user".

There's just an annotation in job summary, because the step outcome is success.

Here's the step log :

These sample patterns would exclude them:

You should consider adding them to:

.github/actions/check-spelling/excludes/excludes.txt

File matching is via Perl regular expressions.

To check these files, more of their words need to be in the dictionary than not. You can use `patterns.txt` to exclude portions, add items to the dictionary (e.g. by adding them to `allow.txt`), or fix typos.

Not sure offhand.

It's possible it's this: https://github.com/check-spelling/check-spelling/blob/d7cd2973c513e84354f9d6cf50a6417a628a78ce/unknown-words.sh#L222

Could you set debug: 1? https://github.com/check-spelling/check-spelling/blob/d7cd2973c513e84354f9d6cf50a6417a628a78ce/action.yml#L34-L36

[ricardo-dematos]

I'm sorry @jsoref , but my permissions to directly commit to a repo were revoked and since the team doesn't consider this a priority, I cannot afford to create a pull request to do your test... 😞

[jsoref]

Hmm. Sorry to hear that. I'd be curious to know if you can reproduce in a fork of their repository with actions enabled. Or if the repository is something I can see, maybe a pointer and I can try to tinker with it.

Either way, thanks for reporting.

It's commercial software, so almost all repo's are private and non forkable.

Personally, I consider 2 types of typos:

• The writer does not know the correct spelling (can be easily overcome with a quick online search);
• The writer knows how to spell the word, but mistypes it (can be easily overcome by reviewing what was written);

The latter one reveals someone that types fast and doesn't review what it writes or someone on a tight schedule. Either way, if it didn't pay attention to what it was written, how confident can another one be in that code? Are the typos the only errors?
