unable to find version master

[bschilder]

It looks like the master branch was removed. Can this please be added back, as it breaks all GHA workflows that specify @master.

For example:

https://github.com/neurogenomics/EpiCompare/actions/runs/3284944299/jobs/5411492406

Thanks,
Brian

use @v2

Version control is fine when you make new releases, but it's best practice to keep a master/main branch as the default. I have 30+ R packages that use this GH Action that I would need to change the workflow files for. I anticipate many other users will encounter this issue.

Thanks!

Not the GHA author, just providing a solution since mine broke today also. I don't think they plan to bring back a "master", unfortunately.

Note that @master was never meant for public use. It is actually still available under the name @old, but it hasn't been updated for about a year now, and soon most actions in it will stop working, because GHA will drop support for node.js 12, which @old actions use.

It is much better to use the @v2 sliding tag, the actions there work much better than the ones in @old.

Thanks for the clarification @gaborcsardi

Giving a heads up to @lcolladotor as I think this affects the biocthis workflows as well.

New to the field ... was there any kind of warning/deprecation process for setup-r@master change? If so I'd like to know what to watch out for. If not, is this possible?

[gaborcsardi]

@vjcitn See the README: https://github.com/r-lib/actions#github-actions-for-the-r-language You can subscribe to new releases if you want to get notified about changes.

Thanks for the ping and messages! I just updated biocthis thanks to @zeehio at lcolladotor/biocthis#37.

Best,
Leo
