✨ *Question of the Day* ✨: what do you think of this new Composite Run Steps Actions?

[@samanthapereira44]

Amazing!! This helped me solve an issue I was having with outputs. Thanks a lot!

[@CoderDave]

Glad it helped! What problem were you having?

[@samanthapereira44]

@@CoderDave I was having issues getting the output from a composite run.

[@ItalanFindart]

[@CoderDave]

Thanks :)

Hi! Thanks for the video.
You mention it is possible to reference actions from the same repository as workflow. But it's not clear how to reference it. Could you please clarify that?
I've tried `org/repo/action` format, it is marked as invalid by GitHub. Not sure what else to try

[@CoderDave]

Good point! You need to use the local relative path.
Let's assume your Composite Run Steps Actions workflow is in
_.github/actions/myname/action.yaml_
then in your action workflow you need to reference it as
_- _*_uses_*_ : ./.github/actions/myname_

Useful, Thanks

Welcome! And thanks for the feedback
