Question 1

How to set up Pronto with GitHub Actions?

Accepted Answer

Pronto integrates via a workflow file, as shown in the README: create a .github/workflows/pronto.yml file, install gems like pronto-rubocop, and use formatters such as github_status and github_pr with environment variables for tokens and pull request IDs.

Question 2

Pronto vs CodeClimate for automated code reviews?

Accepted Answer

Pronto is open-source and diff-focused, ideal for fast, customized checks using local runners, while CodeClimate is a SaaS platform with broader analysis but less control. Pronto suits teams wanting self-hosted, language-agnostic integration without subscription costs.

Question 3

Does Pronto work with JavaScript and ESLint?

Accepted Answer

Yes, via the pronto-eslint runner, which uses eslintrb or npm-installed ESLint. The README lists it under runners, allowing JavaScript projects to integrate linting into pull requests with diff-based analysis.

Question 4

How to exclude files in Pronto configuration?

Accepted Answer

Use the .pronto.yml file to set exclude patterns per runner or globally, e.g., 'all: exclude: ["spec/**/*"]' or runner-specific exclusions like 'eslint: exclude: ["app/assets/**/*"]', as detailed in the configuration section.

Question 5

Why is Pronto not commenting on my GitLab merge request?

Accepted Answer

Ensure you're using the gitlab_mr formatter, set PRONTO_GITLAB_API_PRIVATE_TOKEN and PRONTO_PULL_REQUEST_ID, and run in a merge request pipeline with GIT_DEPTH: 0 to fetch full history, as specified in the GitLab integration notes.

Question 6

Can Pronto run locally without CI?

Accepted Answer

Yes, use commands like 'pronto run --staged' for staged changes or 'pronto run' for committed diffs against master, allowing pre-commit checks or local feedback before pushing, as explained in the local changes section.
