[help] trying to make it work on a scheduled composer update

[IonBazan]

Hi @patrick-leb, I'm glad you enjoy using this GitHub Action on your pipelines.
I think the problem is that base parameter defaults to ${{ github.event.pull_request.base.sha }} which is empty when the action is not triggered by a PR:

composer-diff-action/action.yml

Lines 8 to 11 in 5b081f9

	base:
	description: 'Base composer.lock file path or git ref '
	required: true
	default: ${{ github.event.pull_request.base.sha }}

When providing an empty string to base, the library concats composer.lock to it, causing a comparison between same file, producing an empty output. You can try setting it to HEAD in your workflow:

      - name: Generate composer diff
        id: composer_diff # To reference the output in comment
        uses: IonBazan/composer-diff-action@v1
        with: 
          base: HEAD
          no-dev: true
          format: mdlist

I hope that helps!

That fixed it! Amazing!

May I suggest you add this use case to the docs? it will probably help someone else :)

Cheers!

Thanks for the suggestion - added it in the README.md since https://github.com/IonBazan/composer-diff-action/releases/tag/v1.0.6
