Github Action for dynamically discovering Python projects in a repository and making available some helpful values from `pyproject.toml`, including CI/CD commands like `test`, for each project it finds.

GitHub Action for dynamically discovering Python projects in a repository and making available some helpful values from `pyproject.toml`, including CI/CD commands like `test`, for each project it finds.
33

44
Python projects are identified by the presence of `pyproject.toml`.
55
Various pieces of information about each project are parsed from `pyproject.toml` and returned in the action outputs as JSON strings, including shell commands for additional CI type operations like `test` and `package`.

This is meant to faciliate downstream actions or workflows such as matrix builds for parallel builds of each project.

This action aims to help you eliminate (or at least reduce) the amount of customization needed in your GHA workflows by pushing your project-specific stuff into `pyproject.toml`.

| `root-dir` | string | Directory root for where to begin recursively searching for projects. Python projects contained in this directory or lower will be discovered. Defaults to your repository's root directory. |

| `additional-export-paths` | CSV | Additional TOML keys to export as part of the projects object. Specify them as JSON path strings, separated by commas. For example, `"tool.foo.bar,baz.qux"`. |
28+
| `exclude-commands` | string/List | Commands to exclude from processing during project discovery. Any plain string will be parsed as a command. For instance, passing "test" will cause the action to not export any information about "test" commands found in the repo. For project-specific overrides, pass a string of form `project=<name>,command=<name>`. For instance, a value of `project=one,command=lint` would cause the `lint` command to be excluded for a project named `one`, if such a project is discovered. Global and project-specific excludes can be freely mixed. |
