Unable to set output inside a devcontainer

[ffMathy]

When using the new non-deprecated way of setting outputs in GitHub Actions ( https://github.blog/changelog/2022-10-11-github-actions-deprecating-save-state-and-set-output-commands/ ), it is not working. I assume it is because $GITHUB_OUTPUT refers to some file or pipe which is not set in the devcontainer.

    - name: Execute DevContainer commands
      uses: devcontainers/[email protected]
      with:
        runCmd: |
          echo "foo=bar" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT

Now, I would expect the output foo to be available and usable in other steps or jobs, but it is not.

Hello @ffMathy ,

Kindly check if the below sample workflow works for your scenario in reading the variable set in the GITHUB_OUTPUT in different steps under the same job or in a different job altogether. Please let us know if this doesn’t work out for you and provide further details of your specific scenario.

Thanks and Regards,
Kaniska
