v0.7.0

What's Changed

💥 Breaking changes

• refactor!: rewrite markdown-templates/step-feedback/step-results-table.md to Nunjucks syntax, remove required top-level passed argument (#70)

Important

This version introduced breaking changes in this markdown-templates/step-feedback/step-results-table.md template for Mustache syntax renderers.
If you were using this template with skills/action-text-variables@v2 you will have to update to using next major version skills/action-text-variables@v3 which substituted Mustache for Nunjucks templating RELEASE NOTES

Note

Starting from this release, markdown-templates/step-feedback/step-results-table.md can also be used with GrantBirki/comment action, which also uses Nunjucks templating

Starting from this release, the top level passed argument is not needed. The template determines if all steps passed by checking if all passed keys in results_table items are equal set to true

Example:

  - name: Get response templates
    uses: actions/checkout@v4
    with:
      repository: skills/exercise-toolkit
      path: exercise-toolkit
      ref: v0.7.0

  - name: Update comment - step results
    uses: GrantBirki/comment@v2.1.1
    with:
      repository: ${{ env.ISSUE_REPOSITORY }}
      issue-number: ${{ env.ISSUE_NUMBER }}
      comment-id: ${{ steps.find-last-comment.outputs.comment-id }}
      edit-mode: replace
      file: exercise-toolkit/markdown-templates/step-feedback/step-results-table.md
      vars: |
        step_number: 2
        results_table:
          - description: "Checked if README.md file exists"
            passed: ${{ steps.check-file-exists.outcome == 'success' }}
          - description: "Checked for Installation guide in README.md"
            passed: ${{ steps.check-for-keyphrase.outcome == 'success' }}
