What is the file/info needed here?

What is the file/info needed here? I dont know if my container has it.

[pavi2410]

Can I see the workflow file?

[leoheck]

It is on a private repo, I am afraid that I can't share it. But I can add this.

It is a test, to see if I can share the artifacts of a PCB board verification.
This step compares boards by generating a bunch of diff images. The tool that is being used also generates an HTML to make this review process easier.

So, I can share artifacts, but now they are not that good since the Github makes a package of them when the user is going to download. Even if it is a single file.

I thought that by using your action I could make these output being visible by an URL that can speed up the review process.

I got the last part from the README of this repo.
This plots/web/index.html is being generated here in this step Generate PCB Diffs

[leoheck]

Now I am seeing this

##[error]Cannot read property 'number' of undefined

I have no idea where the error is. These kinds of errors are not descriptive at all.

[leoheck]

Maybe what is missing is to se the right permissions.
What should I select from this list to have access to delpoy the HTML?

[pavi2410]

Cannot read property 'number' of undefined

Looks like it is not able to read PR number.

Are you sure it is triggered from a PR?

Also, there is a Github Action issue that prevents forks from triggering actions.

[leoheck]

It is a PR but now it was triggered by a simple push.
Does it need to be a PR?

[pavi2410]

Yes, it is assumed that this action is triggered by a PR. However, you can modify the JS file to customise the Action.

https://www.github.com/pavi2410/html-preview-action/tree/master/index.js

[pavi2410]

Give me a few days, I make it to return the URL as the output of the Action instead of commenting on a PR, so that you can use the URL however you want.

[pavi2410]

I released v2: https://github.com/pavi2410/html-preview-action/releases/tag/v2

[leoheck]

Wow, you are pretty fast. I will give it a try and report my results in some hours. I just have to go to the supermarket first!

[leoheck]

Why did you remove the msg? I was interested in that? Is this related to the issue I was facing to make it work?

[pavi2410]

The msg input was just providing the title for the link to be written in the comment. Now, the link can be used any way you like.

If you want to comment something on a PR, look for an Action which does that.
