How do I update a Github Action that I have previously published?

Question

Body

I published a Github Action (richb-hanover/cargo). It works fine, except that it relies on Node.js 16, which is deprecated.

I have updated the action.yml file to invoke Node20. But people are still getting the "Node 16 is deprecated" message.

How do I cause the new file to be published? Is there a clear description somewhere? (I've been asked the same question by someone else, so I'm looking for an answer for two people...) Many thanks.

Update the action.yml File

Ensure that your action.yml file specifies Node.js 20. This usually involves updating the runs section.

runs:
  using: 'node20'

Yes - I have done this. https://github.com/richb-hanover/cargo/blob/master/action.yml

Do I need to do anything to make the new version active? (My google-fu isn't strong enough to find a "trigger" for publishing/republishing/updating an action...) Thanks

It automatically does CI/CD(you don't have to manually run), I saw your actions file. Seems the deployment has failed at build. This issue can arise when using cryptographic operations that are not compatible with OpenSSL 3.0, which Node.js 17+ uses by default. So you're struck at 16, if you use 16+ the build will fail.

😎 cool

Yes - I understand what you're saying. (When I look at Actions tab, I can see that .github/workflows/ci.yml attempts to build the file and it has trouble.)

Fortunately, I found another package that does this work and is maintained (clechasseur/rs-cargo@v2), so I don't have to fix my action/repo. Thanks!
