I am literally trying to debug this thing for a month now. I know it is a small and may be rookie problem but I give up. So here it goes like this, I want to check for broken links on my website and if the workflow finds any I want it to create issue. Note that I want it to create issue only if it founds broken link. If the action that is checking for broken links founds any broken links it returns failure/false. so I wrote this condition if: failure() && steps.check.outcome == 'failure'
So create issue step only executes if the link checking step fails. But skips the link checking step itself I tried to look at the logs it said something like this.
DEBU[0002] Evaluating 'Boolean(failure() && steps['check']['outcome'] == 'failure')' instead of 'Boolean(failure() && steps.check.outcome == 'failure')' DEBU[0002] expression 'failure() && steps.check.outcome == 'failure'' evaluated to 'false' DEBU[0002] Skipping step 'victoriadrake/link-snitch@master' due to 'failure() && steps.check.outcome == 'failure''
I tried to debug it by change the condition to if: failure() then also it skipped that step
code.
