Added a path to output a list of releases formatted as JSON

[na-ga]

The outputs.releases contain a lot of information, and there are times when we want to remove unnecessary information. In my case, I used the jq command to convert them as follows.

echo '${{ steps.releases.outputs.releases }}' | jq -c '. [] | [{ tag: .tag, name: .name, commits: [ .commits[].hash ]}]'

The outputs.releases may contain meta tags because they contain commit messages by committer. For example, if it contains single quotation marks, the conversion process described above will not work properly. As a workaround, we have added an option to write releases to a specified path. Using this option, we can convert as follows.

      - id: release
        name: Execute gh-release
        uses: na-ga/actions-gh-release@add-write-output-releases-json
        with:
          release_file: 'RELEASE'
          token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          output_releases_file_path: "./releases.json"
      - id: transform
        name: Set release summaries as output
        run: |
          RELEASE_SUMMARIES=$(cat ./releases.json | jq -c '. [] | [{ tag: .tag, name: .name, commits: [ .commits[].hash ]}]')
          echo "release_summaries: ${RELEASE_SUMMARIES}"
          echo "::set-output name=release_summaries::${RELEASE_SUMMARIES}"
