How can I reference other actions from my GitHub Action's action.yml file?

问题

Is it possible to reference another GitHub Action from my action.yml file?

Note, I'm talking about an action here, not a workflow. I know this can be done with workflows, but can actions reference other actions?

回答1:

The answer seems to be: You can't.

However, I ended up internally downloading the different actions from NPM, and then re-using them within my own action.

Probably not a good idea in general, but this particular action I am making is designed to run on my own projects without requiring too much configuration, so that makes it more okay.

If both actions are nodejs actions you are serving over GitHub and you don't mind them reading the one set of input, this works pretty well:

npm install --save MyGitHubOrg/MyRepo#master
git add -f node_modules/ package.json package-lock.json

async function run() {
    try {
        require('my-action');
    } catch (err) {
        core.setFailed(`Failed to run habitat-action: ${err.message}`);
        return;
    }

    // ...
}
