Disable Annotations in Github Actions

Annotations are created when a problem matcher detects a match in the CI log. Problem matchers are enabled by default by some actions like

• setup-node
• setup-go
• setup-java
• setup-python
• setup-dotnet

You can disable the annotations by executing the remove-matcher command.

Eslint/Typescript (setup-node)

Add the following to your action after setup-node

For eslint

- run: |
    echo "::remove-matcher owner=eslint-compact::"
    echo "::remove-matcher owner=eslint-stylish::"

For Typescript

- run: |
    echo "::remove-matcher owner=tsc::"

That should do it.

You can read more about Adding/Removing problem matchers here. https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/master/docs/commands.md#problem-matchers

Bonus

Action Eslint is a Github Action that runs on the changed files in a PR.

jobs:
  eslint:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v2
        with:
          node-version: '18'
      - run: npm ci
      - uses: sibiraj-s/action-eslint@v1
        with:
          eslintArgs: '--ignore-path .gitignore --quiet'
          extensions: 'js, jsx, ts, tsx'
          annotations: true
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

You can disable annotations by setting the input value to false.
