I'm trying to make a GitHub action that builds a Hugo website, deploys it on Pinata and saves the output hash of this last step to a txt file. I managed to achieve the first and second steps. And, for the third one, I've been trying to do it by running an "echo" command. However, I get this message: "You have an error in your yaml syntax on line 36"
How do I run the script taking the output from the step identified as "ipfs-pin"?
Here's my code:
name: deploy
on:
push:
branches: [ main ]
pull_request:
branches: [ main ]
workflow_dispatch:
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout#master
- uses: jakejarvis/hugo-build-action#master
with:
args: --minify --buildDrafts
- uses: anantaramdas/ipfs-pinata-deploy-action#v1.6.4
id: ipfs-pin
with:
pin-name: '[my-pin-name]'
path: './public'
pinata-api-key: [API Key]
pinata-secret-api-key: [secret API Key]
verbose: true
remove-old: true
saves-hash-on-file:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout#v2
- uses: actions/setup-node#v2
with:
node-version: '14'
- run: echo ${{steps.build.ipfs-pin.hash}} > /.github/ipfs-hash.txt
First
It seems your indentation has a problem, I reproduced the workflow to correct it without returning error when pushing the workflow on the repository:
name: Deploy
on:
push:
branches: [ main ]
pull_request:
branches: [ main ]
workflow_dispatch:
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
outputs:
hash: ${{ steps.ipfs-pin.outputs.hash }}
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout#master
- uses: jakejarvis/hugo-build-action#master
with:
args: --minify --buildDrafts
- uses: anantaramdas/ipfs-pinata-deploy-action#v1.6.4
id: ipfs-pin
with:
pin-name: '[my-pin-name]'
path: './public'
pinata-api-key: '[API Key]'
pinata-secret-api-key: '[secret API Key]'
verbose: true
remove-old: true
saves-hash-on-file:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
needs: [build]
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout#v2
- uses: actions/setup-node#v2
with:
node-version: '14'
- run: echo ${{steps.build.outputs.hash}} > /.github/ipfs-hash.txt
Second
As you can see on the workflow above, I added the outputs field at the job1 (build) level, without this you can't share the output on other jobs.
Reference about outputs
Moreover, to share outputs between jobs, you will have to add the needs: [build] line at the job2 (saves-hash-on-file) level.
Note: I couldn't run it successfully as I don't have any credential to test, but it should work if you copy/paste the workflow I shared using your credentials.

I tried to perform step actions/checkout#v3 once on chained jobs, but it seems like the "build" job does not get the code. I'm getting an error "can't find the project".
Can I call actions/checkout # v3 once for two jobs?
It works when I call the code checkout twice.
name: publish-nuget
on:
push:
branches:
- main
jobs:
prepare:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
- name: Checkout code
uses: actions/checkout#v3
- name: Get package version
id: get_package_version
uses: kzrnm/get-net-sdk-project-versions-action#v1.3.0
with:
proj-path: ProjectOne.csproj
build:
needs: prepare
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout code
uses: actions/checkout#v3
# Add the projects path below
strategy:
matrix:
projects: [
'ProjectOne.csproj',
'ProjectTwo.csproj',
]
steps:
- name: Pack NuGet
run: dotnet pack ${{ matrix.projects }} -p:PackageVersion=${{ env.PACKAGE_VERSION }} --configuration Release
It does not work when I call the code checkout once (on the 'prepare' job).
name: publish-nuget
on:
push:
branches:
- main
jobs:
prepare:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
- name: Checkout code
uses: actions/checkout#v3
- name: Get package version

with:
proj-path: ProjectOne.csproj
build:
needs: prepare
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
# Add the projects path below
strategy:
matrix:
projects: [

Having a job being dependent on another job, is just for logical purposes and not state or artifact dependency sharing. You are actually runing the 2 jobs on 2 different agents. If you want to share something from the prepare job, you can use the cache or artifact API. E.g. using the cache API to cache the path 'somePath'. Same step for downloading the cache.
- name: Cached build artifacts
uses: actions/cache#v2
id: artifactcache
with:
path: somePath
key: buildArtifacts${{ github.run_number}}
As you are not gaining anything form splitting this up into 2 jobs, I would run everything in a single job instead.
I am making a Github workflow for testing a lambda function correctness.
Here is a snippet of the workflow config:
name: push-lambda
on:
push:
branches:
- main
env:
PYTHON_VERSION: "3.9"
defaults:
run:
shell: bash
jobs:
test_lambda:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Install python
- uses: actions/setup-python#v4
with:
python-version: ${{ env.PYTHON_VERSION }}
- name: Install bs4
run: pip install bs4
- name: Checkout repo
- uses: actions/checkout#v3
- name: Test function correctness
run: python function.py
(...)
However, I keep getting a
You have an error in your yaml syntax on line 20
error message. Line 20 is the first steps: keyword. Can anyone spot where I am making a mistake?
There is an indentation problem in your YAML at line 20, in the Install python step.
You're using:
jobs:
test_lambda:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Install python
- uses: actions/setup-python#v4
with:
python-version: ${{ env.PYTHON_VERSION }}
Instead of:
jobs:
test_lambda:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Install python
- uses: actions/setup-python#v4
with:
python-version: ${{ env.PYTHON_VERSION }}
The with field should be at the same level than the uses field.
I have an application code which runs the maven builds we created snapshots and then create a tag created once the snapshot build is successful, and then we use the tag created in the snapshot build and then run the build using the tag for release using the GitHub actions workflows.
now I'm trying to run the release of the build workflow job only if the tag as matching and if the tag, not matches, skip the jobs or fails the jobs, let's say the tag will be created in the snapshot build and will use tag format as "<appname>-<app_build_type>-<github-actions-run_number>-<env>-origin/<branch>" and the actual tag looks like "java-maven-44-dev-origin/develop"
I was trying the below 2 methods workflows, but it is not at all working
1st Method is:
name: maven-release
on:
workflow_dispatch:
jobs:
checkout_code:
runs-on: [ubuntu-latest]
steps:
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout#v3
with:
fetch-depth: 0
maven_build:
runs-on: [ubuntu-latest]
if: ${{ github.ref == 'refs/tags/*-origin/develop' }}
needs: checkout_code
steps:
- name: Run maven build
run: |
mvn clean install
2nd Method is:
name: maven-release
on:
workflow_dispatch:
jobs:
checkout_code:
runs-on: [ubuntu-latest]
steps:
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout#v3
with:
fetch-depth: 0
maven_build:
runs-on: [ubuntu-latest]
if: contains(github.ref, 'refs/tags/*-origin/develop')
needs: checkout_code
steps:
- name: Run maven build
run: |
mvn clean install
I want to skip/fail the at job level only and no in run command, if anyone knows any solution to this or anyone can provide some suggestions on how to achieve this
Its it's possible for your use case, you could trigger your workflow on push and then apply your filter to the branch or tag
name: maven-release
on:
workflow_dispatch:
push:
tags:
- '*-origin/develop'
jobs:
checkout_code:
runs-on: [ubuntu-latest]
steps:
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout#v3
with:
fetch-depth: 0
maven_build:
runs-on: [ubuntu-latest]
if: ${{ github.ref == 'refs/tags/*-origin/develop' }}
needs: checkout_code
steps:
- name: Run maven build
run: |
mvn clean install
The Github filter pattern cheat sheet
For the workflows for which each task needs to be executed only on a particular tag, then we can make use of below snipped
name: maven_build
on:
workflow_dispatch:
jobs:
checkout:
runs-on: [ubuntu-latest]
steps:
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout#v3
with:
fetch-depth: 0
maven_build:
runs-on: [ubuntu-latest]
if: startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/') && !contains(github.ref')
needs: checkout
steps:
- name: Run maven build command
run: |
mvn clean install
The above snippet will run only when the checkout branch matches a tag
I'm trying to run 'publish-storybook' job conditionally, based on the variable from the previous job. Complete action file:
name: Release
on:
push:
branches: [main]
concurrency: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}
jobs:
release:
name: Release
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout Repo
uses: actions/checkout#v3
- name: Setup Node
uses: actions/setup-node#v3.2.0
with:
node-version-file: ".nvmrc"
cache: "yarn"
- name: Install Dependencies
run: yarn install
- name: Create Release Pull Request or Publish to npm
id: changesets
uses: changesets/action#v1
with:
publish: yarn release
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
NPM_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_PUBLISH_KEY }}
- name: Send a message if a publish happens
if: steps.changesets.outputs.published == 'true'
run: echo "A new version of ${GITHUB_REPOSITORY} was published!"
publish-storybook:
name: Publish Storybook
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
needs: release
if: needs.release.outputs.published == 'true'
steps:
- name: Checkout Repo
uses: actions/checkout#v3
- name: Setup Node
uses: actions/setup-node#v3.2.0
with:
node-version-file: ".nvmrc"
cache: "yarn"
- name: Install Dependencies
run: yarn install
- name: Storybook deploy
env:
GH_TOKEN: ${{ github.actor }}:${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
run: yarn storybook:deploy
The message A new version of ${GITHUB_REPOSITORY} was published! gets printed out in the output but a subsequent job that has a condition: if: needs.release.outputs.published == 'true' doesn't start, so there must be something wrong with this condition.
You're only defining steps.outputs and not job.outputs.
jobs:
release:
name: Release
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
# Map a step output to a job output
outputs:
published: ${{ steps.changesets.outputs.published }}
steps:
[... no further changes]
