Tips for Continuous Integration

fossabot will read Continuous Integration (CI) results from GitHub Actions, including from your testing tools like linters, test runners and UI testing tools like Storybook or Playwright.

fossabot will use results in the following ways:

Determining its verdict about the upgrade's compatibility
Influence any recommended fixes to the code
Constructing automated commits to resolve discovered issues

Secret Access

Ensure that your bot Pull Requests have access to all of the secrets required. Create reduced scope or read-only credentials if needed.

UI Testing Tools

While it's very common for linters and test suites to run on each PR, ensure that your UI testing suites are also allowed to run on your bot PRs (Dependabot/Renovate/Snyk) and on PRs that fossabot creates.

If these tools are typically run manually, automating them is very helpful to fossabot:
