In action.yml, the ability to pass CLI arguments to nodejs or set environment parameters

[robertbrignull]

When writing a javascript action, it would be useful to be able to pass arguments to nodejs or set environment variables before it starts, or ideally have both options.

The specific use-case I wanted this for was to pass the --enable-source-maps command line argument, or alternatively set it using the NODE_OPTIONS environment variable.

if we do not want to support arbitrary options please at least provide a way to enable source maps to make nodejs actions debugging more easy.

I was also wanting this and turns out that you can specify NODE_OPTIONS in an env block and it will be used by the JavaScript action, IE:

# ...
    steps:
      - uses: user/action-repo@main
        env:
          NODE_OPTIONS: --enable-source-maps
