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

A hello step takes echo, and anything passed in with comes back in res.


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

Response Object

The step always succeeds, and whatever was passed in comes back unchanged.

Property	Type	Description
`res.<key>`	Any	Every key passed in `with`
`res.status`	Integer	Always `0`
`res.dump`	Boolean	Always `false`
`rt.duration`	String	How long the action took, such as `"15µs"`
`rt.sec`	Float	How long the action took in seconds
`status`	Integer	Always `0`

status and dump are set by the action, so a key of either name in with does not come back.
