Creating a scheduled Broken Links Checker using Github Actions

Masturbating Monkey [DISQUS]: hello i tried using your script but i think there is an error or something. after executing this npx broken-link-checker $WEBSITE_URL --ordered --recursive it checks for broken link on website but after checking some 367 links it stops there and does not show any response does not move to the stage for creating an issue and after some 30 minutes github automaitcally cancels this job. i also ran broken-link-checker locally and here also it stoped after checking the exact 367 links.

Bravo Kernel [DISQUS]: That mostly likely is an issue with https://github.com/stevenvachon/broken-link-checker and not the Github action. It's kind of buggy to be honest. Excluding the site that is causing the hang could be an option.

Masturbating Monkey [DISQUS]: How exactly do i exclude the site that is giving hang.
And i checked for an action that checks for broken link
and google gave me a bunch of them which one would you suggest that I should use . Thankx for responding

Masturbating Monkey [DISQUS]: Saw the issue. But how do I even see the link at which it gets hang because it doesn't show the link on console until it gets --OK-- or --BROKEN-- sign from the link. I need to know the link to exclude it. Thankx again.

Masturbating Monkey [DISQUS]: Hii I just had a thought, is there probably a way to set a time-out for links like if a link does not respond with either 404 or anything it will skip it and moves to next one. Thankx

adam3smith [DISQUS]: Thank you, this is great -- I was running the tool locally and was looking for a github action for it.

JasonEtco has since updated his repository to use main instead of master, so that line needs to be

JasonEtco/create-an-issue@main

Bravo Kernel [DISQUS]: Thanks for pointing that out, updated accordingly 💃
