Fixed to be able to use env of Step

[hnarimiya]

Summary

Hello, thanks for this useful software !

I modified the env defined in step to be available in file.

Also, the process of replacing $ was strange, so I fixed it.

In addition, notes on using files were added to the README.

issues: #84

Hi @hnarimiya thanks for the contribution 💯

I'm currently working on a work around for these integration test, will wait on others approval before merging this

What's the status of this? Would be good to get this fix merged :)

It doesn't look like these changes render properly, at least based on the integration tests we ran with these changes. Any idea why?

[filmaj]

Some of the fields in this payload are not showing up correctly. Attached is a screenshot of the GitHub CI run from #163 (which is a copy of this PR), and how it looks like in our Slack workspace where the message gets posted:

In particular, it seems the following fields do not work as desired from the integration_test_file_payload test from main.yml: env.JOB_STATUS, github.payload.head_commit.url, github.payload.head_commit.author.name, github.payload.head_commit.message.

Any idea why this might be happening?

[rd-florian-stagliano]

same seems to happen for us

We integrated this fix in #200, will release shortly.

Using v1.24.0, I just tried switching to using payload-file-path: and it seems to still not be working properly.

The rendering works fine using payload:.

Anyone else?

@Darwiner what event tripped the action and what does the file look like? We found in our testing that different events have different shapes and so those details matter.

This was triggered via a PR open/synchronize, the top of the workflow file being:

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
  pull_request:
    types:
      - opened
      - synchronize
    branches:
      - main
      - master

As for the json file, it goes like this:

{
  "text": "GitHub Actions - Slack - Deploy Success",
  "blocks": [
    {
      "type": "section",
      "text": {
        "type": "mrkdwn",
        "text": ":rocket: *DEPLOY* - <${{ github.event.repository.html_url }}|${{ steps.vars.outputs.app }}>"
      }
    },
    {
      "type": "divider"
    },
    {
      "type": "section",
      "fields": [
        {
          "type": "mrkdwn",
          "text": "*Cluster* - ${{ steps.vars.outputs.gcp-project }} / ${{ inputs.cluster-location }} / ${{ inputs.cluster-name }}"
        },
        {
          "type": "mrkdwn",
          "text": "*Env* - ${{ steps.vars.outputs.env }}"
        },
        {
          "type": "mrkdwn",
          "text": "*Release* - ${{ steps.vars.outputs.release-version }}"
        },
        {
          "type": "mrkdwn",
          "text": "*PR* - <${{ github.event.pull_request.html_url || github.event.head_commit.url }}|${{ github.event.pull_request.title || github.event.head_commit.message }}>"
        },
        {
          "type": "mrkdwn",
          "text": "*Workflow* - <${{ github.event.repository.html_url }}/actions/runs/${{ github.run_id }}|Logs>"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "type": "divider"
    },
    {
      "type": "section",
      "text": {
        "type": "mrkdwn",
        "text": "*STATUS* - ${{ github.action_status }} :white_check_mark:"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Additionally, another piece of info that might or might not be relevant is that this is triggered via a composite action.

The action in the composite action being:

    - id: slack-prod-success
      uses: slackapi/[email protected]
      with:
        channel-id: ${{ inputs.slack-success-channel }}
        payload-file-path: ${{ github.action_path }}/payload-slack-success.json
      env:
        SLACK_BOT_TOKEN: ${{ inputs.slack-bot-token }}

[rd-florian-stagliano]

we have the same problem. the 'fix' didn't the rendering when you use a payload json file. We also see the github env variables rendered with '?'

[filmaj]

I've filed #203 to follow-up more deeply.

We use this Action in this action's intergration tests, and they render correctly. So something weird is going on.

Will investigate more in #203.
