Have an official GitHub Action for invoking tox

[webknjaz]

The motivation is similar to https://discuss.python.org/t/official-github-action-for-publishing-to-pypi/1061.
I think, providing a ready-to-use action for executing some env (of a bunch of them) is nice.

It could post results back to GitHub via Checks API but I'm not sure whether there's any generic/parsable output of tox execution to be used for this.

@gaborbernat let's discuss this IRL.

A very minimalistic example of such action: https://github.com/sanitizers/octomachinery/blob/master/.github/actions/python3.7-tox/Dockerfile

GitHub

sanitizers/octomachinery

Invisible engine driving octobot machines. Simple, yet powerful. [DEMO BOT @ https://github.com/sanitizers/chronographer-github-app] | official web-site is at --> - sanitizers/octomachinery

Looks good @webknjaz please create a PR with the code under this organization, thanks!

Can we add some basic documentation in the README about how to use it?

We probably also want an image that has more than one python, I would propose something that has the core currently supported set (2.7, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7). In the current form, only 3.7 envs will run. Or we want a separate image per target python.

[webknjaz]

Yes, that would be great. We could also mention this in tox's docs too. I just haven't had time to add more. Also, tox-dev doesn't have Actions enabled which apparently prevents us from publishing Actions to the Marketplace. I'll try to take care of this as well.

Any day now 👍

I was actually going to ask a human from GitHub to do a favor :)

I expect an action for tox-conda!

[gaborbernat]

We don't need a specialized version of it, just define tox-conda in the requires part to tox.ini and you'll have it auto provisioned👌

[njzjz]

But there is no conda installed in this action. It will be better if an action based on miniconda is created.

@njzjz feel free to suggest an image having all of the major Python interpreters there.

Hi!
I was looking for a github action for tox, but the only one I found was specifically for fedora : https://github.com/marketplace/actions/python-tox-on-fedora

I did find an action repository under tox-dev though : https://github.com/tox-dev/action
However this one is empty.

There also seem to be a gh-action-tox repository, which might be what I am looking for, but this one only contains one docker file, and the readme doesn't tell much... so I was wondering if I was missing something or if there was a place I could find the action mentioned in this thread, and/or some information on how to run it.
Cheers!
