This release updates the default lychee version from v0.23.0 to v0.24.2.
The main reason for this release is compatibility with the new lychee 0.24.x release artifacts. Starting with lychee v0.24.0, the archive layout changed, and the lychee binary may now be packaged inside a subdirectory. lychee-action now detects that layout automatically, so users can upgrade without changing their workflows.
If you use:
uses: lycheeverse/lychee-action@v2
you will get the new version once the floating v2 tag has been updated. If you pin exact versions, update to:
uses: lycheeverse/lychee-action@v2.9.0
What’s new from lychee v0.24.x
Better diagnostics
lychee now reports line and column numbers for detected links. This makes broken link reports easier to act on, especially in larger documentation sites or generated reports.
Text fragment checking
lychee can now check URL text fragments, such as links containing #:~:text=.... This helps catch links that point to a valid page but no longer points to the intended highlighted text.
Sitemap support
lychee can now read sitemap.xml inputs. This is useful for checking published websites or generated documentation sites where the sitemap is the easiest source of URLs to validate.
JUnit output
lychee now supports JUnit output. This makes it easier to integrate link checking results with CI systems and test reporting tools that understand JUnit XML.
Redirect and remap visibility
lychee can now show redirects and remaps more clearly. This helps explain why a URL was checked as a different final URL and makes debugging link-checking behavior easier.
Multiple config files
lychee now supports multiple configuration files and expanded config handling. This is useful for repositories that split documentation, website, or package-specific link-checking settings.
Timeout handling
lychee can now accept timeouts explicitly. This gives users more control over how strict their link checks should be for flaky or slow endpoints.
Fixes and reliability improvements
Fixed lychee 0.24.x archive compatibility
lychee-action now handles the new lychee release archive layout by detecting whether the lychee binary is inside a subdirectory.
This fixes compatibility with lychee 0.24.x.
More stable installation path
The action now installs lychee into $RUNNER_TEMP/lychee/bin instead of $HOME.
This avoids failures on runners where $HOME differs between composite action steps. In those environments, the action could add one directory to PATH but install the binary somewhere else, causing lychee: command not found.
Safer automatic lychee version updates
The workflow that checks for new lychee releases now guards against null release versions before creating update PRs. This prevents invalid automated PRs such as “Update lycheeVersion to null”.
Coverage variation is the difference between the coverage for the head and common ancestor commits of the pull request branch: <coverage of head commit> - <coverage of common ancestor commit>
Diff coverage is the percentage of lines that are covered by tests out of the coverable lines that the pull request added or modified: <covered lines added or modified>/<coverable lines added or modified> * 100%
