There was a problem hiding this comment.
It may be possible to drop this step, not save the vars as env vars, and in the script parse the needs.setvariables.outputs string into json.
So instead of let version = process.env.version do
let version = JSON.parse( ' ${{ needs.setvariables.outputs }} ' ).version.
But I couldn't get it to work.
Add UI inputs when workflow triggered as `workflow_dispatch`. Given that the values can come from `repository_dispatch` (other repos) or `workflow_dispatch` (UI button), add a new `setvariables` job, that sets its job outputs to the corresponding values obtained from the payload of the repository_dispatch or from the inputs of the workflow_dispatch. It is needed to use job outputs as is the only way to pass values between jobs, as jobs are run in their own VM instances and don't share the env. Make the following jobs depend on it with `needs: setvariables`. The javascript script from actions/github-script cannot read job outputs. Hence, add a step that reads the `needs.setvariables.outputs` and creates env vars. Consume those env vars in js as `process.env.foo`. Signed-off-by: Víctor Cuadrado Juan <[email protected]>

Description
Fix #307.
Add UI inputs when workflow triggered as
workflow_dispatch.Given that the values can come from
repository_dispatch(other repos) orworkflow_dispatch(UI button), add a newsetvariablesjob, that sets its job outputs to the corresponding values obtained from the payload of the repository_dispatch or from the inputs of the workflow_dispatch.It is needed to use job outputs as is the only way to pass values between jobs, as jobs are run in their own VM instances and don't share the env.
Make the following jobs depend on it with
needs: setvariables.The javascript script from actions/github-script cannot read job outputs. Hence, add a step that reads the
needs.setvariables.outputsand creates env vars. Consume those env vars in js asprocess.env.foo.Test
Tested manually from my fork, to the point that the job tries to download the crds asset, where it fails.

Potential improvement
I don't like the amount of complexity this adds to this workflow.
