🪲 [Fix]: Fix debug and verbose inputs

[MariusStorhaug]

This pull request introduces updates to improve debug and verbose output handling across the GitHub PowerShell-based action. The changes ensure consistent configuration of debug and verbose preferences and enhance clarity in documentation and workflow files.

Debug and Verbose Output Handling Updates:

• .github/workflows/TestWorkflow.yml: Added the -Debug parameter to the Get-GitHubUser command to enable debug output during the workflow execution.
• action.yml: Updated the descriptions for Debug and Verbose inputs to clarify that they enable debug and verbose output for the entire action. Additionally, configured $DebugPreference and $VerbosePreference based on input values to set PowerShell preferences dynamically. [1] [2]
• scripts/info.ps1: Removed redundant $DebugPreference and $VerbosePreference configuration from the end block, as these preferences are now set globally in the action runner.
• scripts/outputs.ps1: Removed hardcoded $DebugPreference and $VerbosePreference settings to align with the new dynamic configuration approach.

Documentation Updates:

• README.md: Improved descriptions for Debug and Verbose inputs to specify that they enable output for the entire action, enhancing clarity for users.

.github/workflows/TestWorkflow.yml:412

• Piping the output of Get-GitHubUser -Debug into Format-Table will only format object output; debug messages go to the Debug stream and won’t be captured. To include debug messages in the log, redirect the Debug stream into the success stream (e.g., Get-GitHubUser -Debug 4>&1 | Format-Table -AutoSize | Out-String).

              Get-GitHubUser -Debug | Format-Table -AutoSize | Out-String

• Ensure that Debug and Verbose inputs are declared under the inputs: section in action.yml so that these environment variables are properly set and validated.

        $DebugPreference = $env:PSMODULE_GITHUB_SCRIPT_INPUT_Debug -eq 'true' ? 'Continue' : 'SilentlyContinue'

action.yml:95

• [nitpick] Add documentation for the new Debug and Verbose inputs (descriptions and default values) in action.yml to clarify how to enable or suppress debug/verbose messages.
