Markdown report

[scordio]

I would like to use japicmp to provide automated feedback to pull requests about binary compatibility.

Currently, I plan to add a comment to pull requests using the diff-like output.
However, I like more the HTML visual impact so I tried some tools to have an automated conversion from HTML to Markdown, but the result is not that great. Also, embedding the HTML report directly in a comment does not work due to unsupported tags.

Would you be willing to add a Markdown report with layout and content similar to the HTML one?

If you like the idea, I can try to raise a PR about it.

Have you seen the groovy plugin support here? You can write a groovy script that creates a Markdown report.

On the other hand, I would merge a Markdown report if you want to implement that.

Thanks, I didn't think about using the groovy support for that purpose. I think the effort for the script might be comparable to a native implementation, so I'll probably raise a PR for it.

Is it ok to rely on an existing library for Markdown generation, bringing that in as a new dependency?

OK. Then go for it. It is ok to include a 3rd party library for that. Stefano Cordio ***@***.***> schrieb am Mo., 12. Juli 2021, 15:41:

I started looking into the necessary changes. Would you suggest adding the Markdown generation to XmlOutputGenerator (which is currently taking care of both the XML and the HTML reports), or would it be better to create a new MarkdownOutputGenerator?

I tend to favor the former as the Markdown structure would mimic the HTML one, but I'm not sure that XmlOutputGenerator would still be a good name for that class.

I would prefer to have a new one, just like the StdoutOutputGenerator. Am Do., 12. Aug. 2021 um 13:30 Uhr schrieb Stefano Cordio < ***@***.***>:

Although I'm still behind with this one (almost one year later 😄), this is also a good fit with the new job summary feature of GitHub actions.
