exporting changelog entry to tmp file #68
Description
Would you be open to a contribution that allows changelog-reader-action to export a tmp file path that contains the changelog entry? This would be helpful to avoid shell escape sequence on richer markdown content. I've ran into issues with this for integrations that require a path to a file containing release notes (like goreleaser for example). I'd be happy to contribute this feature if you'd be open to it 👍
I was thinking:
outputs.changesFile - a path to a temporary file containing the text for the changelog entry.
Then I can use it like so:
name: release
on:
push:
tags:
- 'v*'
jobs:
goreleaser:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Extract Version from Tag
id: tag_name
run: |
echo ::set-output name=current_version::${GITHUB_REF#refs/tags/v}
shell: bash
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
fetch-depth: 0
- name: Generate Release Changes
id: changelog_reader
uses: mindsers/changelog-reader-action@v2
with:
version: ${{ steps.tag_name.outputs.current_version }}
- name: Set up Go
uses: actions/setup-go@v2
with:
go-version: 1.18
- name: Login to Docker Hub
uses: docker/login-action@v2
with:
username: ${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_USERNAME }}
password: ${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_TOKEN }}
- name: Run GoReleaser
uses: goreleaser/goreleaser-action@v2
with:
distribution: goreleaser
version: latest
args: release --rm-dist --release-notes ${{ steps.changelog_reader.outputs.changesFile }}
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
