RFE: Post results as comment back to GitHub Pullrequest

[jgrumboe]

Hi,

The run task looks promising in understanding specific changes better.
I had a quick look at https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cloud-docs/integrations/run-tasks#integration-details and saw that the payload for the run task would also include VCS information like commit and PR URLs.
If it's a speculative plan, it would be great to also send the results back as a comment to the originating PR.
What do you think?

Best regards,
Johannes

that is a good suggestion, thank you @jgrumboe

we have a few potential way to do it:

1. Since we know the workspace id, we could push comment on the Workspace run, or
2. As you suggested, bubble up the finding as pull request on the originating PR

[jgrumboe]

Thinking of our dev teams, the PR is the "source of truth" 🙂

The workspace comments are not used at all here.

if you are using the tfc-workflow-tooling , we might able to bubble up the RunTasks plan output as part of it (which today is not yet available).

We're not using the tf-workflow-tooling; our workspaces are "normal" VCS connected.

Hey @jgrumboe I opened a new PR #13 to address this, would this satisfy your requirement? The additional piece would be that you need to supply the GitHub token.

It needs to be a Fine-grained personal access tokens

with access to

• Read access to metadata
• Read and Write access to pull requests

@gautambaghel
Thanks, and sorry for coming back here so late.
I will give it a try in the next weeks.
