September 30 - October 6, 2024 in Darker: Addressing isort issues and enhancing GitHub Action

[github-actions[bot]]

This week, we made progress on several fronts. We're working on fixing an issue with isort's skip_glob setting (PR #751), which wasn't being respected due to how Darker interacts with isort's API. The fix involves passing the full path of the file to format and resolving isort settings based on that path. This addresses a long-standing issue (#615) and improves our integration with isort.

We're also still waiting on any contributor (maybe you?) to review PR #591) which improves the Darker GitHub Action by making it respect the working-directory input, and adding new exitcode and stdout outputs.

In other developments, we opened a new issue (#752) to discuss the age-old idea (from #51) to add pyupgrade as a code modification backend, similar to our support for flynt and isort. This could potentially expand Darker's capabilities in automatically upgrading Python syntax. We're also still working on avoiding double newlines with the --stdout option (PR #605), which has been rebased and is scheduled for the upcoming 3.0.1 release.
