Mill Dependency Submission

A GitHub action to submit your dependency graph from your Mill build to GitHub via their Dependency Submission API.

The main benifits of doing this are:

1. Being able to see your dependency graph on GitHub in your Insights tab. For example you can see this here for this plugin.
2. If enabled, Dependabot can send you alerts about security vulnerabilities in your dependencies.

Requirements

• Make sure in your repo settings the Dependency Graph feature is enabled as well as Dependabot Alerts if you'd like them. (Settings -> Code security and analysis)

Quick Start

Create a workflow with the following:

name: github-dependency-graph

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  submit-dependency-graph:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
    - uses: coursier/cache-action@v6
    - uses: actions/setup-java@v3
      with:
        distribution: 'temurin'
        java-version: '17'
    - uses: ckipp01/mill-dependency-submission@v1

You can also just run the following command from the root of your workspace which will create the file for you:

curl -o .github/workflows/github-dependency-graph.yml --create-dirs https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ckipp01/mill-github-dependency-graph/main/.github/workflows/github-dependency-graph.yml

Inputs

- working-directory (optional)

The relative path of the working directory of your build (where your .mill-version and build.sc are). This defaults to ..

- plugin-version (optional)

Override the default version of ckipp01/mill-github-dependency-graph plugin that is used internally.

Troubleshooting

Unexpected Status: 404

This error happens when the Dependency Graph feature is disabled. You can enable it in Settings > Code Security and Analysis.
