I have a js file like this, which should return me a string to use later in the action:
action.js
async function getData(){
const url = "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/71/Meet_Truffle%21.jpg/440px-Meet_Truffle%21.jpg";
return url;
}
getData().then((url) => {
return url;
});
I did a similar thing but it doesn't seem to work, can you tell me how I can do it?
Pull.yml
- name: Url
run: node ./action.js >> $URL
- uses: suisei-cn/actions-download-file@v1
id: downloadfile
name: Download the file
with:
url: $URL
target: assets/
An option is to attribute the string to a variable before adding it as a ENV variable in the workflow Github Context.
However, to make it work, you can't use directly return url; in the .js file. You will also need console.log(url); to print the url value to the console.
Your workflow would look like this:
- name: Url
run: |
URL=$(node ./action.js)
echo "URL=$URL" >> $GITHUB_ENV
- uses: suisei-cn/actions-download-file@v1
id: downloadfile
name: Download the file
with:
url: ${{ env.URL }}
target: assets/
And the action.js file might look like this (I'm not familiar with node):
async function getData(){
const url = "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/71/Meet_Truffle%21.jpg/440px-Meet_Truffle%21.jpg";
return url;
}
getData().then((url) => {
console.log(url);
return url;
});
You can find an example in this workflow run with python and node. The workflow implementation can be found here.
