It doesn't point out where the spell issues are.

Thanks @ajm19826 I will look into improving the error message.

Hi @ajm19826

Since this action is just a wrapper of PySpelling I checked the current implementation and it only returns success (0) or failure (1), so I cannot distinguish if there is an error in the configuration or execution or in the spelling.

I will clean up the error message so this is communicated, this is not an improvement as such, just more correct.

If I look at your example, it seem there is a problem with your set up.

ValueError: Unable to find or load pyspelling configuration from spellcheck.yaml, for more details on configuration please read https://facelessuser.github.io/pyspelling/configuration/ 

Is your repository public, so I can inspect your set up, or can you share details on how you have configured the action?

Hi @ajm19826

I have created a PR in your repo:

• Basic configuration for spellcheck action houselearning/home#112

Hi @jonasbn,
Will the spellcheck activate now?

[jonasbn]

Hi @ajm19826 I would believe so yes.

As you can see from the run:

• https://github.com/houselearning/home/actions/runs/22927211176/job/66540431589#step:4:429

It reports the spelling errors now, so next step is correcting what can be corrected and adding the special words to you custom dictionary .wordlist.txt

Let me know if there are other issues or challenges where I can help

Thanks @jonasbn!
