Check Dependencies in Pull Request Action

This GitHub Action was born for that person or team that prefer to handle manually it's maven dependencies. It publishes a comment in your PR when it's necessary to update maven dependencies

Requirements

You must have in your project the Maven

Inputs

pull_request_url

The pull request URL to publish the result

github_token

The project's GitHub token for posting the comment.

Example usage

name: Check Dependencies

on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened]
jobs:
  dependency_check:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Check dependencies and add a comment in the PR with the result
    steps:
      - name: Checkout project sources
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Check Dependencies
        uses: volkanleo/[email protected]
        with:
          pull_request_url: ${{ github.event.pull_request.comments_url }}
          github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

I recommend keeping "opened" pull request type, to avoid a lot of messages in your pull request about Maven dependencies Updates, with this approach the message only appears one time.
