I have a repo on GitHub where I have included my.yaml file for a github actions configuration as below:
name: flake8 Lint
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
flake8-lint:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
name: Lint
steps:
- name: Check out source repository
uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Set up Python environment
uses: actions/setup-python@v1
with:
python-version: "3.8"
- name: flake8 Lint
uses: py-actions/flake8@v2
with:
max-line-length: "100"
path: "app"
This file was working perfectly fine and passing upon commits, however, I recently added some more code in my app folder (flask app code) and now it is failing and giving the error as shown below:

I have files in my app folder that aren't .py, could that be the issue that causes the failure of the github actions flake8 tests, if so how can I ignore the other files?
Your issue appears to be that your code doesn't pass PEP8, which the Flake8 check will fail if you don't (that's the point of it). Note that the Flake8 check does not reformat files, it only tells you they are wrong! The error log will tell you the individual error code (such as W293 blank line contains whitespace)
