v1.6.17

• Allow workflow calls are available in matrix jobs. See the official announcement for more details. (#197)

  jobs:
    ReusableMatrixJobForDeployment:
      strategy:
        matrix:
          target: [dev, stage, prod]
      uses: octocat/octo-repo/.github/workflows/deployment.yml@main
      with:
        target: ${{ matrix.target }}

• Allow nested workflow calls. See the official announcement for more details. (#201)

  on: workflow_call
  
  jobs:
    call-another-reusable:
      uses: path/to/another-reusable.yml@v1

• Fix job outputs should be passed to needs.*.outputs of only direct children. Until v1.6.16, they are passed to any downstream jobs. (#151)

  jobs:
    first:
      runs-on: ubuntu-latest
      outputs:
        first: 'output from first job'
      steps:
        - run: echo 'first'
  
    second:
      needs: [first]
      runs-on: ubuntu-latest
      outputs:
        second: 'output from second job'
      steps:
        - run: echo 'second'
  
    third:
      needs: [second]
      runs-on: ubuntu-latest
      steps:
        - run: echo '${{ toJSON(needs.second.outputs) }}'
        # ERROR: `needs.first` does not exist, but v1.6.16 reported no error
        - run: echo '${{ toJSON(needs.first.outputs) }}'

  When you need both needs.first and needs.second, add the both to needs:.

    third:
      needs: [first, second]
      runs-on: ubuntu-latest
      steps:
        # OK
        -  echo '${{ toJSON(needs.first.outputs) }}'

• Fix }} in string literals are detected as end marker of placeholder ${{ }}. (#205)

  jobs:
    test:
      runs-on: ubuntu-latest
      strategy:
        # This caused an incorrect error until v1.6.16
        matrix: ${{ fromJSON('{"foo":{}}') }}

• Fix working-directory: should not be available with uses: in steps. working-directory: is only available with run:. (#207)

  steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      # ERROR: `working-directory:` is not available here
      working-directory: ./foo

• The working directory for running actionlint command can be set via WorkingDir field of LinterOptions struct. When it is empty, the return value from os.Getwd will be used.

• Use Go 1.19 on CI by default. It is used to build release binaries.
• Update dependencies (go-yaml/yaml v3.0.1).
