May 5-19, 2024 in Darker: Action enhancements and pre-commit discussions

[akaihola]

This period saw discussions on improving Darker's GitHub Action and addressing pre-commit integration issues. We're preparing to merge a significant change that filters out unmodified files from the list of changed files (PR #545). This update, initially proposed as an option, will become the default behavior in the upcoming v3.0.0 release, potentially impacting future version numbering.

We're investigating a reported issue with the Darker GitHub Action ignoring the working-directory setting (Issue #587). This problem affects CI/CD pipelines using custom working directories and may be related to previously addressed path handling concerns. We're planning to add a functional test in our GitHub Workflow to validate and fix this behavior.

The community revisited an older issue regarding pre-commit hook behavior (Issue #390). We're exploring why Darker might return a non-zero exit code even when there are no linting errors, possibly due to Black's output when formatting is disabled via configuration. This investigation aims to improve Darker's integration with pre-commit and provide a smoother developer experience.
