Hello Folks !!

Is there any way to specify the type of report in the action ? per example , can i do this 

 - uses: pmd/pmd-github-action@v1
      id: pmd
      with:
        version: '6.40.0'
        sourcePath: 'src/main/java'
        rulesets: 'rulesets/java/quickstart.xml,ruleset.xml'
        reportFile: 'pmd-report.xlst' "Or another report file extension"

Thanks!

Hi @miltlima, thanks for reaching out.

Currently, this github action will only create a report in sarif format. This format is kind of a standard for static analyzer tools and is natively supported by github's codeql.

If you don't need this feature, we could enhance this action to provide a parameter to specify the report format. Currently there is no such parameter (see inputs for the list of available parameters). Naturally, only the report format that PMD can produce, can be selected. See PMD Report Formats for a list of available formats.
