Input redirect-to is not working

[alewkinr]

Hello there!

I’m trying to extract secret from k8s using this GH action, but the problem that I can not access the command output.

I checked the actions.yaml there is an undocumented input redirect-to which seems not working properly.

Here is the example:

steps:
  - name: Get secrets
    id: get-secret
    uses: actions-hub/kubectl@v1.28.2
    env:
     KUBE_HOST: ${{ env.KUBE_HOST }}
     KUBE_CERTIFICATE: ${{ env.KUBE_CERTIFICATE }}
     KUBE_TOKEN: ${{ env.KUBE_TOKEN }}
    with:
     args: get secret ${{ inputs.secret-name }} -n ${{ inputs.namespace }} -o json
     redirect-to: secret-content
  
  - name: Print result
    shell: bash
    run: echo "${{ steps.get-secret.outputs.secret-content }}"

And that is debug output:

[GitHub Actions Debug Workflow/actions-debug] [DEBUG] expression 'echo "${{ steps.get-secret.outputs.secret-content }}"' rewritten to 'format('echo "{0}"', steps.get-secret.outputs.secret-content)'
[GitHub Actions Debug Workflow/actions-debug] [DEBUG] evaluating expression 'format('echo "{0}"', steps.get-secret.outputs.secret-content)'
[GitHub Actions Debug Workflow/actions-debug] [DEBUG] expression 'format('echo "{0}"', steps.get-secret.outputs.secret-content)' evaluated to '%!t(string=echo "")'

Executing github action locally with: https://github.com/nektos/act

emm, yes. It's not working properly.
Because there is no such input.

@exelban what do you mean? I see it in action.yaml — https://github.com/actions-hub/kubectl/blob/6fd9eb2486a67fab3b011befdf3cfcc4e64d9655/action.yml#L7C1-L13C20

[exelban]

hmm, yeap. Looks like I merge something without checking if it works(
will take a look

@exelban I will make I PR with a proper fix of this issue if you do not mind.
