Hello Action

The hello action does nothing but succeed. It is useful as a placeholder, for a step whose only job is an echo, and for trying out expressions.

Basic Syntax

steps: - name: Report uses: hello echo: "Checked {{outputs.health.endpoint}}"

Parameters

The action takes no parameters of its own. Whatever is given in with is echoed back on res, which makes it a convenient way to publish computed values.

steps: - name: Build a summary id: summary uses: hello with: run_id: "{{vars.run_id}}" checked_at: "{{now().Format('2006-01-02T15:04:05Z07:00')}}" outputs: run_id: res.run_id checked_at: res.checked_at
