This is a simple GitHub Action that checks Golang codebases for potential Nil panics.
Under the hood, it uses Uber's nilaway static analysis tool.
More useful information about it can be found in this
Uber blog post or on their GitHub repository.
As of now, the only input is the package-to-scan variable.
This is the path to the Golang package you want to analyze.
E.g. ./services/backend/....
Add the following static-analysis job in your Action.
static-analysis:
# Assuming the `build` job builds the project,
# we define a dependency on it.
needs: build
runs-on: ubuntu-latest

- name: Checkout
