Where exatly is the syntax error? (You have an error in your yaml syntax)

[fvollmer]

Hi,

I’m trying to use the following yml, but github complains about it (“You have an error in your yaml syntax on line 54”). I can’t see anything suspicious in line 54. Any ideas?

You are missing closing ' twice:

raspberrypi: ['raspberrypi2', 'raspberrypi3]

Should be:

raspberrypi: ['raspberrypi2', 'raspberrypi3']

Thx! This explains the strange syntax highlighting above.

Now I just need to figure out, how I can access the upload_url from a different job.

[Simran-B]

Have a look here:

docs.github.com

Workflow syntax for GitHub Actions - GitHub Docs

Probably like this:

  create_release_job:
    name: Create Release
    outputs:
      upload_url: ${{ steps.create_release.outputs.upload_url }}
...
  upload_assests:
    name: Upload Release assets
    needs: create_release_job
...
    - name: Upload release assets
      uses: actions/upload-release-asset@v1
      env:
        GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
      with:
        upload_url: ${{ needs.create_release_job.outputs.upload_url }}

@Simran-B thanks again! jobs.<jobs_id>.outputs is exactly what I was looking for
