"is not defined in object type" error with marketplace action

[frank-long]

I'm using dorny/paths-filter and that sets a dynamic output for me, but actionlint is complaining about the output not being there, see code below. I can't see how I can fix that.

- name: Checkout repo
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - id: filterchanges
        uses: dorny/paths-filter@v2
        with:
          filters: 'files: .github/workflows/*.yml'
      - name: lint
        if: ${{ steps.filterchanges.outputs.files == 'true'}}
[actionlint] reported by reviewdog 🐶 property "files" is not defined in object type {changes: any} [expression]

[frank-long]

If I change to: ${{ steps.filterchanges.outputs.changes.files == 'true'}} then it won't complain, but it won't run the code because it won't evaluate to true: see https://github.com/dorny/paths-filter. Something is wrong the actionlint I suspect

[rhysd]

It's because the files output is not defined in action.yml. Is it really correct output name?

[rhysd]

I'm not familiar with the action, but it seems to set its outputs dynamically. So it looks not possible to check them statically.

[frank-long]

Yes they are set dynamically in that action. Is there a way to disable this check on this line so I can still run without reporting a failure in my CI?

[rhysd]

Would you try -ignore {regex} command line argument to filter out some errors? I'll fix this false positive on next patch update, hopefully released tomorrow or day after tomorrow (in JST).

[rhysd]

The fix was included in release v1.5.2.

@rhysd Apologies if this is already documented somewhere, but can you share how to set the skip_outputs flag from CLI? Or config file?

When I run actionlint, I get

property "jf_docker_url" is not defined in object type {actions_runner_debug: string; actions_step_debug: string; github_token: string; jf_access_token: string; jf_base_url: string; jf_url: string} [expression]
    |
115 |           jf_url: ${{ secrets.JF_DOCKER_URL }}

Obviously there is a repo secret defined with that name.
Should I open a new issue?

Hi, I am getting this error and I can't get the skip_outputs setting to work properly to ignore outputs. Are there any plans to extend the actionlint config file to ignore jobs/steps or take the ignore regex?
