The second version is almost correct, the problem is this line:

          echo IMAGE_NAME >> $GITHUB_ENV

The main problem is that it has only the variable name, when lines written to GITHUB_ENV must be NAME=VALUE. But it’s also redundant, because you already set IMAGE_NAME in the env section above, so best just remove that line. 🙂

That does not work, too. Can you edit my Workflow like your suggestion? I dont know if i change it correctly.

Is it possible to reuse the variables in the env section of the “yuyitech/github-action-rancher2@v0.0.1” step?

I mean you should change this part of the “Push image” step

          echo IMAGE_ID=$IMAGE_ID >> $GITHUB_ENV
          echo VERSION=$VERSION >> $GITHUB_ENV
          echo IMAGE_NAME >> $GITHUB_ENV

to:

          echo IMAGE_ID=$IMAGE_ID >> $GITHUB_ENV
          echo VERSION=$VERSION >> $GITHUB_ENV

If that doesn’t work, what’s the error?

No, the env section of a step applies only to that step. If you want them to last for other steps in the job you need to use GITHUB_ENV, or a job/workflow env section.

My workflow:

Push image to GitHub Packages.

      # Strip git ref prefix from version
      VERSION=$(echo "${{ github.ref }}" | sed -e 's,.*/\(.*\),\1,')

      [ "$VERSION" == "main" ] && VERSION=latest

      echo IMAGE_ID=$IMAGE_ID >> $GITHUB_ENV
      echo VERSION=$VERSION >> $GITHUB_ENV

      docker tag $IMAGE_NAME $IMAGE_ID:$VERSION
      docker push $IMAGE_ID:$VERSION

It looks very good, but i get an error at the step Deploy to Rancher
