How do I find out *WHAT* is not found?

Code to Cloud GitHub Actions
#1

I’m working through the writing-javascript-actions tutorial. 16 commits and changes later, I’m at my wit’s end.

When I run my workflow, there is a part should take the output of an API call as input to create a github issue in my local repo.

Here is the actions tab:

0s
Run ./.github/actions/joke-action/
{
  id: 'AAdFBXnGlyd',
  joke: "If you walk into a forest and cut down a tree, but the tree doesn't understand why you cut it down, do you think it's stumped?",
  status: 200
}
If you walk into a forest and cut down a tree, but the tree doesn't understand why you cut it down, do you think it's stumped?
------
0s
Run ./.github/actions/issue-maker
  with:
    repo-token: ***
    joke: If you walk into a forest and cut down a tree, but the tree doesn't understand why you cut it down, do you think it's stumped?
    issue-title: a joke for you
Error: Not Found

The problem is, the error isn’t clear enough for me so I’ve been troubleshooting everywhere to no avail. I’m not sure what isn’t found. The first log shows that the API call is successful and it returns the quote successfully.

The JS is able to return the joke

const getJoke = require("./joke");
const core = require("@actions/core");

async function run() {
    const joke = await getJoke();
    console.log(joke);
    core.setOutput("joke-output", joke);
}

run();

For reference, here are the relevant yml files

name: "external API action"

description: "Gets data to display a joke from an external API"

outputs:
  joke-output:
    description: The resulting joke from the API

Anyone who might have a clue?

Hi @msoup,

I agree that the error message is unclear.

I also don’t immediately see the issue with your code. Could you perhaps share an example repo with the problem so I can try it locally?

This appears to be the repository (which is currently :white_check_mark:):
