Weeder Action

GitHub Action to run Weeder to find any unused functions in a Haskell project and annotate the Build with their locations.

Prerequisites

See the Weeder README for project requirements.

You will need to run this step in the same Job as you compile your project, or make the .hie files available some other way.

Usage

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v3
  - uses: freckle/stack-cache-action@v2
  - id: stack
    uses: freckle/stack-action@v3
  - uses: freckle/weeder-action@v2
    with:
      ghc-version: ${{ steps.stack.outputs.compiler-version }}

Inputs

• ghc-version: You must specify the ghc-version your project is compiled with (to ensure .hie compatibility).

  This Action maintains and installs pre-compiled weeder binaries for Mac and Linux across all GHC versions that weeder compiles on (8.8.1 to 9.2.5 at time of this writing). Please file an Issue if you're using a GHC that's not supported, but for which a released version of weeder does exist.

• weeder-arguments: Arguments to pass when invoking weeder

  Default is --require-hs-files, which ensures that cached builds that have since removed files (but still have their .hie files present) don't generate false positives.

• working-directory: Change to this directory before running.

  This can be necessary if in a mono-repository.

• fail: Fail if we find unused functions?

  Default is true. This is useful if you want to not fail the step, but do something else with the weeder output yourself.

Outputs

This Action sets an output named log to the path containing the output of running weeder. This can be useful if you use fail: false and wish to do something on that output yourself afterwards.
