This action checks if the project version has been updated in your pull request. The action will request the file content (file with name from environment variable file-to-check) from the pull request target branch and parse the project version. After that the local project version will be checked against the targets one with semver-diff. If the new version is not higher than the old one from target, the action fails.

Currently supported are pom.xml, package.json and version.txt.

Required The repository token is used to request the target branch file-to-check-file from the GitHub API

Required Filename (with path) that must contain the project version update (examples: pom.xml, package.json or version.txt)

Comma separated list of filenames (with path) that must contain the same version as "file-to-check" (examples: README.md, src/file-with-version.txt)

Is used to disable the whole version check and only return the project version as output for usage in other actions

If the version update is valid then the new version is available as output. Usage:
