add a way to retrieve the output

[nicola-lunghi]

Hi I need to save the output of the ruff check in a file.
Is it possible?

also how can I not run anything but just install the ruff command for later use? I need to use it in a script

Please see this comment for saving to a file: #28 (comment)

Using it like this will invoke ruff to only print the version.

- uses: astral-sh/ruff-action@v3
  with:
    args: "--version"

I will maybe add a feature that you can set args to an empty string so ruff is not invoked at all, e.g. args: ""

Have you followed the issue I linked but you still don't see annotations?

Hi I've changed my action to:

  ruff-linter:
    runs-on: [self-hosted, Ubuntu-22.04]
    permissions:
      contents: read
      pull-requests: write
    steps:
      # need to go first as it cleans the directory
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          clean: true
      - uses: actions-ext/astral-sh-ruff-action@v3
        with:
          version: ${{ env.RUFF_VERSION }}

  ruff-format:
    runs-on: [self-hosted, Ubuntu-22.04]
    permissions:
      contents: read
      pull-requests: write
    steps:
      # need to go first as it cleans the directory
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          clean: true
      - uses: actions-ext/astral-sh-ruff-action@v3
        with:
          version: ${{ env.RUFF_VERSION }}
          args: "format --diff"

Now I get the annotations.

questions:

1. its possible to get the annotations on the pr page as well?
2. how to get annotation for the ruff format check?
