How does one go about updating a variable that is declared in github action workflow?
Consider the following:
name: Test Variable
on:
push:
branches: [ main ]
pull_request:
branches: [ main ]
env:
DAY_OF_WEEK: Monday
jobs:
job1:
name: Job1
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
env:
Greeting: Hello
steps:
- name: "Say Hello John it's Monday"
run: |
echo $Greeting=Holla
echo "$Greeting $First_Name. Today is $DAY_OF_WEEK!"
env:
First_Name: John
- name: "Eval"
run: echo $Greeting $First_Name
So here I'm attempting to update Greeting
then eval it later but GH is throwing
Invalid workflow file.You have an error in your yaml syntax on line 21.
So, if I were to update Greeting
First_Name
and DAY_OF_WEEK
how would I go about doing that?
Update
Fixed yaml syntax but the variable is not updated. Output for Eval is
Run echo $Greeting $First_Name
echo $Greeting $First_Name
shell: /usr/bin/bash -e {0}
env:
DAY_OF_WEEK: Monday
Greeting: Hello
Hello
CodePudding user response:
Assign a variable:
run echo "Greeting=HOLLA" >> $GITHUB_ENV
using the variable
run echo "$Greeting"
(Also make sure yours yml-file's indentation is correct.)
