forgejo-todo-checker

Checks your source files for TODO and FIXME comments, where they don't have an open issue number.

A ForgeJo Action.

(Inspired by https://woodpecker-ci.org/plugins/TODO-Checker)

Comments Format

This Action only pays attention to comments in a particular format. e.g:

// TODO: (#19) This is the comment
// FIXME (#29) This is the other comment
# TODO (#19) This is the comment
# FIXME: (#29) This is the other comment

These are all considered valid comments. Pick the format that fits your language or file best.

Comments are found by matching them against this regular expression: (#|//)\s*(TODO|FIXME)

i.e.: be a comment by starting with either '#' or '//', then the word TODO or FIXME in all caps.

Once we have a line with such a comment we look for the Issue Number with: \(#?(?P<ISSUE_NUMBER>\d+)\)

i.e.: a number in (), with or without a leading # (inside the braces).

The ISSUE_NUMBER must correspond to an OPEN Issue in the repo that the Action is running against.

If the issue has been closed or can't be found then the comment is marked as an error and the Check with fail.

Example Use as a ForgeJo Action Step

jobs:
  tests:
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Check TODOs
        uses: https://git.kemitix.net/kemitix/forgejo-todo-checker@v1

The output will be similar to the following if there are any errors:

Forgejo TODO Checker!
Repo: kemitix/my-projext
Prefix: (#|//)\s*(TODO|FIXME)
Issues: ( |)(\(|\(#)(?P<ISSUE_NUMBER>\d+)(\))
- Invalid: src/main.rs#38:
 // TODO: implement this cool feature and get rich!
- Closed : (19) README.md#12:
 // TODO: (#19) This is the comment

Error: Invalid or closed TODO/FIXMEs found

The first error is because there is no issue number associated with the TODO comment.

The second error is because the issue has already been closed.
