Introducing Enhanced Alert Actions and Triage Functionality
Socket now supports four distinct alert actions instead of the previous two, and alert triaging allows users to override the actions taken for all individual alerts.

@actions/tool-cache
Functions necessary for downloading and caching tools.
You can use this to download tools (or other files) from a download URL:
const tc = require('@actions/tool-cache');
const node12Path = await tc.downloadTool('https://nodejs.org/dist/v12.7.0/node-v12.7.0-linux-x64.tar.gz');
These can then be extracted in platform specific ways:
const tc = require('@actions/tool-cache');
if (process.platform === 'win32') {
const node12Path = await tc.downloadTool('https://nodejs.org/dist/v12.7.0/node-v12.7.0-win-x64.zip');
const node12ExtractedFolder = await tc.extractZip(node12Path, 'path/to/extract/to');
// Or alternately
const node12Path = await tc.downloadTool('https://nodejs.org/dist/v12.7.0/node-v12.7.0-win-x64.7z');
const node12ExtractedFolder = await tc.extract7z(node12Path, 'path/to/extract/to');
}
else if (process.platform === 'darwin') {
const node12Path = await tc.downloadTool('https://nodejs.org/dist/v12.7.0/node-v12.7.0.pkg');
const node12ExtractedFolder = await tc.extractXar(node12Path, 'path/to/extract/to');
}
else {
const node12Path = await tc.downloadTool('https://nodejs.org/dist/v12.7.0/node-v12.7.0-linux-x64.tar.gz');
const node12ExtractedFolder = await tc.extractTar(node12Path, 'path/to/extract/to');
}
Finally, you can cache these directories in our tool-cache. This is useful if you want to switch back and forth between versions of a tool, or save a tool between runs for self-hosted runners.
You'll often want to add it to the path as part of this step:
const tc = require('@actions/tool-cache');
const core = require('@actions/core');
const node12Path = await tc.downloadTool('https://nodejs.org/dist/v12.7.0/node-v12.7.0-linux-x64.tar.gz');
const node12ExtractedFolder = await tc.extractTar(node12Path, 'path/to/extract/to');
const cachedPath = await tc.cacheDir(node12ExtractedFolder, 'node', '12.7.0');
core.addPath(cachedPath);
You can also cache files for reuse.
const tc = require('@actions/tool-cache');
const cachedPath = await tc.cacheFile('path/to/exe', 'destFileName.exe', 'myExeName', '1.1.0');
Finally, you can find directories and files you've previously cached:
const tc = require('@actions/tool-cache');
const core = require('@actions/core');
const nodeDirectory = tc.find('node', '12.x', 'x64');
core.addPath(nodeDirectory);
You can even find all cached versions of a tool:
const tc = require('@actions/tool-cache');
const allNodeVersions = tc.findAllVersions('node');
console.log(`Versions of node available: ${allNodeVersions}`);
