$GITHUB_OUTPUT - Directory nonexistent (Self hosted runner)-CodePudding

I'm trying to use $GITHUB_OUTPUT instead of set-output.

I set up a simple GitHub Action with a docker file based on the official tutorial.

# Container image that runs your code
FROM alpine:latest

# Copies your code file from your action repository to the filesystem path `/` of the container
COPY entrypoint.sh /entrypoint.sh

# Code file to execute when the docker container starts up (`entrypoint.sh`)
ENTRYPOINT ["/entrypoint.sh"]

And the entrypoint.sh is

#!/bin/sh -l

time=$(date)
echo "time=$time" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT

Executing this in a Self hosted Debian runner results into a

/entrypoint.sh: 4: cannot create : Directory nonexistent

Changing the $GITHUB_OUTPUT with the usual ::set-output works correctly.

Any idea on how to solve this?

CodePudding user response：

The deprecation of set-output was mentioned recently (oct. 2022)

If you are using self-hosted runners make sure they are updated to version 2.297.0 or greater.

So check first the version of your runner.
