How to pass GITHub parameters to Jmeter as user defined variable-CodePudding

Hello I want to execute my JMX script to GITHUB and I'm able to execute, however my problem is upon passing that parameter to my Jmeter it doesn't work. Here's my yaml file. Your response is highly appreciated. Thank you so much

name: CI

on: push: branches: [ "main" ] pull_request: branches: [ "main" ]

workflow_dispatch: inputs: choice: type: choice description: Environment options: - foo - bar - baz

jobs:

build: runs-on: ubuntu-latest

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v3

  - name: setup-jmeter
    run: |
      sudo apt-get update
      sudo apt install curl -y
      sudo apt install -y default-jdk
      sudo curl -O https://archive.apache.org/dist/jmeter/binaries/apache-jmeter-5.3.tgz 
      sudo tar -xvf apache-jmeter-5.3.tgz
      cd $GITHUB_WORKSPACE/apache-jmeter-5.3/lib && sudo curl -O https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/kg/apc/cmdrunner/2.2.1/cmdrunner-2.2.1.jar
      cd $GITHUB_WORKSPACE/apache-jmeter-5.3/lib/ext && sudo curl -O https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/kg/apc/jmeter-plugins-manager/1.6/jmeter-plugins-manager-1.6.jar
      cd $GITHUB_WORKSPACE/apache-jmeter-5.3/lib && sudo java -jar cmdrunner-2.2.1.jar --tool org.jmeterplugins.repository.PluginManagerCMD install-all-except jpgc-hadoop,jpgc-oauth,ulp-jmeter-autocorrelator-plugin,ulp-jmeter-videostreaming-plugin,ulp-jmeter-gwt-plugin,tilln-iso8583
  - name: run-jmeter-test
    run: |
      echo "choice is ${{ github.event.inputs.choice }}" / ${{ inputs.choice }}
      $GITHUB_WORKSPACE/apache-jmeter-5.3/bin/./jmeter.sh -n -t Example-Demo.jmx -Jchoice=${choice} -l result.jtl 
      
      
  - name: Upload Results
    uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
    with:
      name: jmeter-results
      path: result.jtl

Output: Once I selected the value from GIT, it will pass to Jmeter and use on the execution.

FYI: I tried to use this variable ${{ inputs.choice }}=${choice} or ${{ github.event.inputs.choice }}=${choice} but it doesn't work on my end.

Nothing will work "on your end" until you stop copying and pasting solutions from the Internet without understanding what they're doing and ignoring recommendations from the community.

The correct syntax would be:

-Jchoice="${{ github.event.inputs.choice }}"
