I'm trying to retrieve the run ID from the context object. However, all my attempts are in vain. The output of the following tries is undefined
. Here's the relevant snippet:
const context = core.getInput('github_context');
if (context) {
core.info("Context: " + context)
core.info(`run id: ${context['run_id']}`)
core.info(`run id: ${context.run_id}`)
core.info(`run id: ${context['runId']}`)
core.info(`run id: ${context.runId}`)
}
When anaysing the output of core.info("Context: " + context)
, one can see the following:
Context: {
"token": "**",
"job": "test",
"run_id": "123",
The way I pass the context is github_context: ${{ toJson(github) }}
The context
variable is a JSON string, not a Javascript object due to which the problem arises. To access its properties, you will need to parse the JSON string first.
// ...Rest of your code
const contextString = core.getInput('github_context');
if (contextString) {
const context = JSON.parse(contextString); // <--- this
core.info("Context: " + contextString)
core.info(`run id: ${context['run_id']}`)
core.info(`run id: ${context.run_id}`);
}
