eric scipleandGitHub 656a821a94 ESM migration: Add .js extensions for node16 moduleResolution (#257)
Migrate expressions, workflow-parser, and languageservice packages to use
proper ESM imports with .js extensions that work with node16 moduleResolution.

Changes:
- Update tsconfig.build.json in each package to use module: node16 and
  moduleResolution: node16
- Add .js extensions to all relative import paths (Option B approach)
- Fix yaml internal type imports in workflow-parser by defining local types
- Add skipLibCheck to handle @types/node compatibility issues
- Add TypeScript 5.8.3 override in root package.json
- Add ESM migration plan documentation

The languageserver package is deferred due to test hang issues that need
further investigation.

Related #154 - Upgrade moduleResolution from node to node16 or nodenext
Related #110 - Published ESM code has imports without file extensions
Related #64 - expressions: ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND attempting to run example
Related #146 - Can not import @actions/workflow-parser

Test results:
- expressions: 1068 tests passed
- workflow-parser: 292 tests passed
- languageservice: 452 tests passed

* docs: update ESM migration plan with findings

- Update languageserver blocker: vscode-languageserver v8.0.2 lacks ESM
  exports (not a test hang issue)
- Document that Option B (manual .js extensions) was chosen over Option A
  due to ts-jest compatibility issues
- Add workaround for yaml package internal types (LinePos, NodeBase)
- Update migration status table with accurate reason for deferral
- Add skipLibCheck note for @types/node compatibility

actions/languageservice

This package contains the logic for the GitHub Actions workflows language server.

Installation

The package contains TypeScript types and compiled ECMAScript modules.

npm install @actions/languageservice

Usage

Basic usage

Concepts

The language service features use three sources of information:

  • a built-in static schema for the workflow YAML file
  • value providers which can dynamically add values to the schema, for example, the list of available labels for a repository when validating runs-on.
  • context providers which can dynamically provide available contexts used in expressions. For example, the contents of the github.event context for a given workflow file.

Validation

Validate a workflow file, returns an array of Diagnostic objects.

const config: ValidationConfig = {
  valueProviderConfig: valueProviders(sessionToken, repoContext, cache),
  contextProviderConfig: contextProviders(sessionToken, repoContext, cache),
};

const result = await validate(textDocument, config); // result is an array of `Diagnostic`

Hover

Get information when hovering over a token in the workflow file.

import {hover} from "@actions/languageservice";

const document = {
  uri: "file:///path/to/file",
  getText: () => "on: push\n  jobs:\n    build:\n      runs-on: ubuntu-latest\n      steps:\n        - run: echo hello"
};

const hover = await hover(document, {line: 0, character: 1}); // { contents: { kind: "markdown", value: "The event that triggers the workflow" } }

Auto-completion

import {complete} from "@actions/languageservice";

const document = {
  uri: "file:///path/to/file",
  getText: () => `on: 
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - run: echo hello`
};

// Trigger completion for `on: |`
const suggestions = await complete(document, {line: 0, character: 4});

will return

[{
  "documentation": {
    "kind": "markdown",
    "value": "Runs your workflow when branch protection rules in the workflow repository are changed.",
  },
  "label": "branch_protection_rule",
  "textEdit": {
    "newText": "branch_protection_rule",
    "range": {
      "end": {"character": 4, "line": 0,},
      "start": {"character": 4, "line": 0},
    },
  },
},
//... other events
]
