Upload Trunk Check Results
Trunk Check has the ability to post its results to app.trunk.io. This will enable you to view your repository's Check history over time so you can track the trend of issues in your code, as well as browse the issues in your repository to help you understand which issues should be prioritized to fix. The upload feature of Trunk Check will upload all of the issues found by Trunk to the Trunk services. In order to get an accurate picture of the state of your repository, you'll want to upload all of the Trunk Check issues for your whole repository.
In order to keep the data up-to-date, you should upload Trunk Check results regularly in an automated fashion. Depending on the size of your repository and the linters you have configured to run, running Trunk Check on your whole repository may take a while. Because this run may take a while, we recommend uploading Trunk Check results once daily. However, the system supports uploading results for every commit, so the granularity of upload is up to you.
Before running
trunk check --upload
you must have connected your Github repository to your Trunk account.You can use the Trunk GitHub Action to upload results nightly for your main branch. You can provide it with a
trunk-token
by navigating to Settings → Repositories → {your repository} and clicking "View Api Token".- 1.
trunk check --upload
is different than a normaltrunk check
invocation because we explicitly want the Trunk CLI to find all of the issues in the repository. Because of this, we recommend adding the--all
flag to yourtrunk check --upload
invocation. Keep in mind, this won't override the ignore settings in yourtrunk.yaml
file. Any linter or file-level ignores you have configured will be honored bytrunk check --upload
. - 2.
trunk check --upload
accepts the same flags and filters astrunk check
that you run locally and for CI, and it also has the same runtime dependencies. - 3.You should run your
trunk check --upload
command locally without the--upload
flag to verify that it is working as expected. If you have a large repository or many checks enabled,--all
may take a long time. In this case, remember to use--sample
. - 4.Required command line parameters
- 1.
--token
: The Trunk API token for this repository. You can find this by navigating to Settings → Repositories → {your repository} and clicking "View Api Token". - 2.
--series
: This is the name of the time-series this upload run is a part of. We recommend using the name of the branch you are runningtrunk check
on. For example, we runtrunk check --upload
regularly on ourmain
branch, so we use--series main
. You may instead prefer to track specific releases or tags, or create an experimental series. The series name does not need to match any git object, it is available as a way to organize your upload data. If you're unsure of what to use for--series
, just use the name of your main branch (typicallymain
ormaster
)
trunk check --all --upload --series main --token REDACTED
Normally we infer repo information from the
origin
remote, however if you don't have an origin
or for another git configuration reason it can't be inferred, it can be explicitly defined in trunk.yaml
:- 1.Add a
repo
section to your Trunk config. This allows the Trunk CLI to connect with the appropriate repository in the Trunk system.- 1.
host
: Where your repository is hosted. Currently only Github is supported, so this value should begithub.com
, - 2.
owner
: The Github Owner of the repository, typically the first path section of your repository URL. For example, if we were connecting with https://github.com/google/googletest, theowner
would begoogle
. - 3.
name
: The name of the repository. Continuing with our example above, thename
would begoogletest
.
This is what the
repo
section of your config would look like if your repository was hosted at https://github.com/google/googletestrepo:
repo:
host: github.com
owner: google
name: googletest
Note the repo/repo nested structure.
