Get the content from a file of the last uploaded artifact on some GitHub repository.
The target GitHub owner and repository name
default: ${{ github.repository }}
You should set GITHUB_TOKEN on either with: or env: field (not both at same time) to prevent rate limiting.
If repository is another private repo, you must define a PAT with repo scope and put this token on your secrets to be used as GITHUB_TOKEN value.
A serialized JSON where each key is the filename and the value its value as string
PS: maybe this won't work with non-text files; and every directory is ignored.
The string 'true' if an artifact was found and loaded, 'false' otherwise.
Minimal example:
Name: Foo
on: push
jobs:
run:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: micalevisk/last-artifact-action@v2
id: result
- if: steps.result.outputs.loaded == 'true'
run: echo "${{ steps.result.outputs.content }}"Example using the action gr2m/get-json-paths-action to parses the JSON content:
Name: Bar
on: push
jobs:
run:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Get 'world.txt' file content from last uploaded artifact
- uses: micalevisk/last-artifact-action@v2
id: result
with:
repository: owner/repo ## using another repo
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN }}
- uses: gr2m/[email protected]
id: files
with:
json: "${{ steps.result.outputs.content }}"
world_file: "world.txt"
- if: steps.result.outputs.loaded == 'true'
run: echo "${{ steps.files.outputs.word_file }}"
