Danger runs during Grape projects' CI process, and gives you a chance to automate common code review chores.

Enable Danger for a project within the ruby-grape organization.

Add ruby-grape-danger to Gemfile.

gem 'ruby-grape-danger', require: false

Create a Dangerfile in your project's root that imports ruby-grape-danger and adds your project-specific checks:

danger.import_dangerfile(gem: 'ruby-grape-danger')

# Your project-specific danger checks
changelog.check!
toc.check!

The ruby-grape-danger Dangerfile automatically handles:

• Setting up the reporting infrastructure
• Exporting the danger report via at_exit hook when the Dangerfile finishes
• Consistent output format for the workflow

Create .github/workflows/danger.yml:

name: Danger
on:
  pull_request:
    types: [ opened, reopened, edited, synchronize ]
  workflow_call:

jobs:
  danger:
    uses: ruby-grape/danger/.github/workflows/danger-run.yml@main

Create .github/workflows/danger-comment.yml:

name: Danger Comment
on:
  workflow_run:
    workflows: [Danger]
    types: [completed]
  workflow_call:

jobs:
  comment:
    uses: ruby-grape/danger/.github/workflows/danger-comment.yml@main

To test things out, make a dummy entry in CHANGELOG.md that doesn't match the standard format and make a pull request. Iterate until green.

This gem provides reusable GitHub Actions workflows that can be referenced by any Grape project to implement standardized Danger checks with consistent reporting.

The workflows are separated into two stages:

1. danger-run.yml: Executes Danger checks and generates a report

   • Runs bundle exec danger dry_run with your project's Dangerfile
   • Generates a JSON report of check results
   • Uploads the report as an artifact

2. danger-comment.yml: Posts/updates PR comments with results

   • Downloads the Danger report artifact
   • Formats and posts results as a PR comment
   • Updates existing comment on subsequent runs

When you reference the reusable workflows:

uses: ruby-grape/danger/.github/workflows/danger-run.yml@main

GitHub Actions:

1. Checks out your project's repository (not ruby-grape-danger)
2. Installs dependencies from your Gemfile
3. Runs danger using your Dangerfile
   • Your Dangerfile imports ruby-grape-danger's Dangerfile via danger.import_dangerfile(gem: 'ruby-grape-danger')
   • The imported Dangerfile registers an at_exit hook for automatic reporting
   • Runs your project-specific checks (added after the import)
   • When Dangerfile finishes, the at_exit hook automatically exports the report
4. The report is uploaded as an artifact for the commenting workflow

Each project maintains its own Dangerfile with project-specific checks, while the ruby-grape-danger gem provides shared infrastructure for consistent reporting and workflow execution.
