Compost

Compost is for tools that run in CI pipelines and want to post results as pull request/commit comments.

It currently detects the following CI environments:

• GitHub Actions
• GitLab CI
• Azure DevOps
• Azure DevOps (GitHub)

Coming soon:

• BitBucket
• Circle CI (GitHub)
• CircleCI (BitBucket)

Install

npm install -g @infracost/compost

Examples

Detect the current CI environment and update the previously posted comment. If a previous comment hasn't been posted, then this creates a new comment:

compost autodetect update --body="my comment"

Post a new comment:

compost autodetect new --body="my new comment"

Delete the previous posted comments and post a new comment:

compost autodetect delete-and-new --body="my new comment"

Hide the previous posted comments and post a new comment (Note: Currently only supported for GitHub):

compost autodetect hide-and-new --body="my new comment"

Get the latest comment that was posted by compost

compost autodetect latest

Post a comment to a specific GitHub pull request:

compost github update infracost/compost-example pr 3 --body="my PR comment"

Post a comment to a specific GitHub commit SHA:

compost github update infracost/compost-example commit 2ca7182 --body="my commit comment"
