GitHub Actions workflow: git ls-tree error on wily diff command

[mbell-volpe]

Seeking guidance for git command error on _wily diff src/ -r HEAD^1 command that seems like some of the references may not be correct for the git tree object being passed as an argument:

The checkout action in the workflow needs extra parameters. By default GitHub will do a shallow clone (ie not check out the history).

See https://wily.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ci.html#github-workflows

So your checkout action needs to look like this:

      - name: Checkout repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
          ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.ref }}

Thanks! I included the extra parameters; however, I'm getting no data collected messages due to main (our renamed master, which I also tried) not being an object with the line: wily diff src/our_path_specific_filename.py/ -r main.

This is what outputs by omitting -r main (or master) from wily diff src/our_path_specific_filename.py/ -r main :

Would you be able to advise on why 'no data is being collected'?

Also, on wily build src/ test/ command, is wily creating a folder for these metrics to be output or should test/ already be created in our repo? Thanks for the clarification on this.

I did try following up with the alternate syntax: wily diff src/our_path_filename.py/ -r HEAD^1 but still getting the no data collected in above/previous images.
