Github Action for MicroPython Code Check?

[matthias-bs]

Hi,

is there an example Github Action CI workflow for MicroPython? I would like to use this as a code checker.

Thanks in advance!

Hmm, I saw this directory, but as far as I understand, it is for CI of the MicroPython environment/toolchain. What I am looking for is a workflow for MicroPython libraries/applications.

@matthias-bs I'm not quite sure what you're asking? What do you mean by "code checker". If you mean code formatting (e.g. black in our case), then what @dlech linked to is what you want (specifically the code_formatting.yml workflow). We also do the same thing in micropython-lib: https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib/tree/master/.github/workflows

I would like to do syntax and coding-style checks.

[jimmo]

OK then the workflow linked above is exactly that.

[matthias-bs]

Thanks a lot!

Furthermore, You can do more elaborate static code analysis using tools such as pylance, and codeql , when you add the applicable typestubs for your port/board of micropython

Apart from installing the micropython stubs, that is identical to running static code analysis on other python code

[matthias-bs]

That sounds good! How can I do this? Could you please provide any links/examples?
I've used pylint, but without micropython stubs.
