feature request: provide configuration from CLI (instead of config file) about actionlint HOT 2 CLOSED

actionlint command has -config-file argument. Isn't it what you wanted?

from actionlint.

well, the config-file works but here the use case is different: I'm using a required workflow where actionlint is setup, and have a caller workflow which just do something like:

jobs:
  check:
    uses: org/repo/.github/workflows/check.yml

But I don't want to have the caller to have to have a configfile. I want the caller workflow to rely on a config provided by the required workflow, in a self contained way. But since a required workflow can't have any other artifacts (i.e. a config file or anything) then everything needs to be self contained, and hence, I would have imagined the ability to kind of have --config=... where I would pass on an heredoc of some sort.

I guess this is more a general issue with how required workflows (or any re-usable workflow) works I guess...So not sure this is yours to fix. I'll close this issue.
