Add direct points input

[markpatterson27]

Add action inputs for points and availablePoints that bypasses grading tests and goes direct to check run to report grading score back to the GH Classroom interface.

There are use-cases where doing grading tests and calculating final score is easier to do outside of autograding. By providing points inputs, these workflows can be supported without having to maintain 2 separate equivalents of setCheckRunOutput.

See:

• Setting points via other actions #52
• https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/77361#discussioncomment-7720245

Usage

Inputs are optional. Without both points and available-points being provided, autograding will run grading tests as normal. If both inputs are provided, autograding tests are skipped and setCheckRunOutput is run with the provided inputs.

Example usage:

...
      - name: run grading
        id: grading
        run: |
          <command to run unit tests with grading output>
          echo "points=$calc_points" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
          echo "total-points=$calc_total_points" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT

      - uses: education/autograding@master
        with:
          points: ${{ steps.grading.outputs.points }}
          available-points: ${{ steps.grading.outputs.total-points }}

If anyone wants to try it out, I have a build on my fork on the dev-points-input-release branch (replace education/autograding@master with markpatterson27/autograding@dev-points-input-release)

ToDo

• add jest tests
