Can you elaborate on this? What testing framework outside of go test? This may be of benefit to the team if you found a nice tool.

I believe this was put in because I was attempting to run GH actions locally, and ultimately test without actually running in the repo and making changes. It was a passing try and I didn't spend too much time on it. Ultimately it was easier to simply model out the behavior I wanted in a separate repo, got it to work the way I wanted and then copy pasta'ed to this one.

Here is the content of package-json and test.js if you are curious:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@actions/core": "^1.10.1",
    "@actions/exec": "^1.1.1"
  }
}

const core = require('@actions/core');
const exec = require('@actions/exec');

async function run() {
try {
// Set the input variables (if any)
core.getInput('myInputVariable');

// Execute the steps of our workflow
await exec.exec('echo', ['Hello, World!']);
// Add more steps as necessary

// Set the output variables (if any)
// Set the output variables (if any)
core.setOutput('myOutputVariable', 'Hello from local testing!');
} catch (error) {
core.setFailed(error.message);
}
}

If you are curious where I modeled the actions I did it here, should be 0 Cox properties in this public repo:

@LumaC0 I removed the testing stuff from my repo and took out the .gitignore entiries that hid the artifacts since nothing was actually being done with it. Neater now.

Looking at past runs, I see a deprecation warning for --rm-dist. It's recommended to use--clean instead

[DevOpsDave]

@LumaC0 Fixed.
