Fix the dry-run flag behaviour

[johnbillion]

See #4.

Still needs more work.

I would write != true

Here we go
https://github.com/johnbillion/user-switching/actions/runs/11891386423/job/33132043839

You can always add a temporary debug step

run: echo dry-run=${{ toJSON(inputs.dry-run) }}
# or
run: echo inputs=${{ toJSON(inputs) }}

@szepeviktor What am I doing wrong? This run has the dry-run input set to true but the steps with the if conditions still ran: https://github.com/johnbillion/user-switching/actions/runs/11891945602/job/33133767062 .

The input values can be seen at the top by expanding the arrow next to Run johnbillion/action-wordpress-plugin-attestation@dry-run:

Run johnbillion/action-wordpress-plugin-attestation@dry-run
  with:
    version: 1.8.0
    zip-path: /home/runner/work/user-switching/user-switching/user-switching.zip
    dry-run: true
    plugin: user-switching
    timeout: 60

[szepeviktor]

Try that debug step!

[johnbillion]

Oh the value is being set to string "true" instead of a boolean.

"Inputs: {
    "version": "1.8.0",
    "zip-path": "/home/runner/work/user-switching/user-switching/user-switching.zip",
    "dry-run": "true",
    "plugin": "user-switching",
    "timeout": "60"
}"

actions/runner#1483 (comment) 👀

[johnbillion]

Yep that looks correct. Inputs for actions are strings only: https://stackoverflow.com/a/76294014

[johnbillion]

Okay we're looking good now. What a pickle.

• ✅ dry-run true: https://github.com/johnbillion/user-switching/actions/runs/11892353362/job/33135038954
• ✅ dry-run false: https://github.com/johnbillion/user-switching/actions/runs/11892395968/job/33135165939

[szepeviktor]

Actually echo " hides quotation marks in the JSON.

printf 'Inputs = '
cat <<"GITHUB__CONTEXT"
${{ toJSON(inputs) }}
GITHUB__CONTEXT

It shows up correctly when you expand the > next to the command, but yeah the output is not clear.

[johnbillion]

Single quotes save the day.

Thanks for the assistance @szepeviktor 💪
