🚀 Frenck's GitHub Action for running a Home Assistant Core configuration check.

## About

This GitHub action runs a Home Assistant Core configuration check against your
repository.

Please note; that this Action is useable for all Home Assistant installation
types, and thus **NOT** limited to Home Assistant Core users. It also works
if you are running Home Assistant Container, Supervised or OS.

## Usage

```yaml
name: Check
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
  home-assistant:
    name: Home Assistant Core Configuration Check
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: ⤵️ Check out configuration from GitHub
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: 🚀 Run Home Assistant Configuration Check
        uses: frenck/action-home-assistant@v1
        with:
          path: "./config"
          secrets: fakesecrets.yaml
          version: stable
```

## Arguments

|    Input    |                             Description                             |    Usage     |
| :---------: | :-----------------------------------------------------------------: | :----------: |
|   `path`    |   Path to the folder containing the Home Assistant Core configuration.   | _Optional_ |
| `secrets` | Alternative secrets file to use, e.g., "fakesecrets.yaml". |  _Optional_  |
| `version` | Version to use; dev/beta/stable or a specific version number. |  _Optional_  |

### Specific configuration folder

By default, this GitHub Action will use the root folder as the Home Assistant
Core configuration folder. If you store your Home Assistant configuration in a
subfolder, the `path` argument can be used to inform the Action about that.

For example, if you configuration is in the `config` folder:

```yaml
- name: 🚀 Run Home Assistant Core Configuration Check
  uses: frenck/action-home-assistant@v1
  with:
    path: "./config"
```

### Using a fake secrets file

Of course, you don't want to commit your secrets file. However, without a
secrets file, your configuration check will most likely not pass.

This GitHub Action offers a way around that, but using a fake secrets file.

To use this, add a fake secrets file to your repository (e.g.,
`fakesecrets.yaml`) and make sure the content is the same as your real
`secrets.yaml` (with, of course, fake credentials/data). The GitHub Action
will use this file during checking your configuration.

For example, if you fake secrets file is `fakesecrets.yaml`:

```yaml
- name: 🚀 Run Home Assistant Core Configuration Check
  uses: frenck/action-home-assistant@v1
  with:
    secrets: "fakesecrets.yaml"
```

### Running against a specific version

This GitHub Action allows you to specify a specific version to run
your Home Assistant Core configuration against. However, by default, the
integration will try to find the `.HA_VERSION` file in your configuration
folder.

If the `.HA_VERSION` file is found, the version in that file is used. If
the `.HA_VERSION` file is not found; the Action will use the latest stable
version of Home Assistant to test your configuration with.

However, you can specify/override any version you like to check against,
for example, check with Home Assistant Core `2021.1.0`:

```yaml
- name: 🚀 Run Home Assistant Core Configuration Check
  uses: frenck/action-home-assistant@v1
  with:
    version: "2021.1.0"
```

Alternatively, you can also use `stable`, `beta` or `dev` to run against
latest versions of those stability channels.

```yaml
- name: 🚀 Run Home Assistant Core Configuration Check
  uses: frenck/action-home-assistant@v1
  with:
    version: beta
```

## More extensive example

A more extensive example, that runs your configuration against the latest
development, beta and stable versions:

```yaml
name: Check
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
  home-assistant:
    name: "Home Assistant Core ${{ matrix.version }} Configuration Check"
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    strategy:
      matrix:
        version: ["stable", "beta", "dev"]
    steps:
      - name: ⤵️ Check out configuration from GitHub
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: 🚀 Run Home Assistant Configuration Check
        uses: frenck/action-home-assistant@v1
        with:
          path: "./config"
          secrets: fakesecrets.yaml
          version: "${{ matrix.version }}"
```
