      version: 1.82.0
      # Optional: The version of VSCode to retrieve the dependencies for
      # Default: latest

        echo "vscode-version-name = ${{ steps.vscode-versions.outputs.vscode-version-name }}"
        echo "vscode-version = ${{ steps.vscode-versions.outputs.vscode-version }}"
        echo "released-at = ${{ steps.vscode-versions.outputs.released-at }}"
        echo "electron-version = ${{ steps.vscode-versions.outputs.electron-version }}"

        echo "chromium-version = ${{ steps.vscode-versions.outputs.chromium-version }}"

Gotchas

In case the VSCode/electron repos have changed their setup, this will stop working for latest or newer versions. The versions that couldn't be retrieved will be Unknown and the action will not throw or fail.

There is a cache mechanism in place(see /src/cache/index.json) to prevent the action from making too many requests to the GitHub API. The cache is updated once a week.

Acknowledgements

I've found myself referring to ewanharris/vscode-versions one too many times, and needed a dynamic solution.
This repo is basically his script adapted to a GitHub Action.

Thanks @ewanharris ! :)
