Action to hide (minimize) comments in pull request

hide-comment-action

This is an action to hide (minimize) comments in a pull request.

Getting Started

To hide comments when a pull request is created or updated:

on:
  pull_request:

jobs:
  hide-comment:
    steps:
      - uses: int128/hide-comment-action@v1

It hides all comments created by github-actions user.

Filter comments

You can set the following conditions:

• The author of comment is one of authors
• The body of comment starts with one of starts-with
• The body of comment ends with one of ends-with
• The body of comment contains one of contains

This action hides comment(s) which matches to any condition, i.e., evaluated as OR.

If no condition is given, this action hides comment(s) created by the user of GitHub token.

Example: using ends-with condition

When you post a comment, it would be nice to add some marker so that you can hide it in the next build.

Here is an example workflow to hide the old comments before test.

jobs:
  test:
    steps:
      - uses: int128/hide-comment-action@v1
        with:
          ends-with: |
            <!-- test-notification -->
      - uses: int128/comment-action@v1
        with:
          run: yarn test
          post-on-failure: |
            ## :x: Test failure
            ```
            ${run.output}
            ```
            <!-- test-notification -->

Action Required: Fix Renovate Configuration

There is an error with this repository's Renovate configuration that needs to be fixed. As a precaution, Renovate will stop PRs until it is resolved.

Error type: Cannot find preset's package (github>whitesource/merge-confidence:beta)

Filters are or instead of and?

Hi, cool action, thanks! We've just rolled this out to some of our repos to reduce PR noise.

One small observation, I had configured both the author and startsWith and it seems the behaviour is any comment by the author OR comments that start with the given prefix. I expected this to be and rather than or, might be worth adding a note to the readme!

Thanks again, cool project.

Error: Resource not accessible by integration

Hi! I'm using your action without problem when the PR is done from a branch in the same repository. But when the PR is from a branch of a fork I get this error:

Error: Resource not accessible by integration

I've found people with the same error from others actions/repos, but some of the solutions seem not to work for me.

Some idea of what can I do? This is our action: https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight-configurator/blob/master/.github/workflows/pr.yml

I've others in a test repo with permissions, tokens, etc. neither work.
