How do you use this action in a folder not in the root directory?

[ChadTaljaardt]

Hello,

I am new to working with Github actions.

I am trying to run this action on a "user_interface" sub directory, can anyone explain to me how to do this?

Thanks!

1. Please try to put this YAML file to .github/workflows/reviewdog.yml .

name: reviewdog
on: [pull_request]
jobs:
  eslint:
    name: runner / eslint
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v1
      - name: eslint
        uses: reviewdog/action-eslint@v1
        with:
          github_token: ${{ secrets.github_token }}
          reporter: github-pr-review # Change reporter.
          eslint_flags: 'user_interface/' # <-- Target source directory

2. Create a new branch
3. Add your source code
4. Create a pull request
5. See pull request, or github actions (https://github.com/<your_name>/<your_repo>/actions)

@jiro4989 Thanks for your response, i already tried to do what you suggested. This is the error i'm getting which i think is caused because the command isn't being run in the user_interface folder.

Having the same issue. The script goes in GITHUB_WORKSPACE, then starts running the commands from there. It looks for eslint in this folder here. eslint_flags isn't used until eslint is actually run, but it needs to find eslint in the right directory before it can run it...
