I still get this error:

Hi, thank you for this nice Github Action.

Unfortunately it does not work on Windows.
It could function on Windows by using the preinstalled msys2's wget.exe executable at C:\msys64\usr\bin\wget.exe (not in PATH)

:)

I'm getting a YAML error on the following:

    - name: verify with curl
      uses: wei/[email protected]
      with:
        args: http://localhost:5000/chat -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"message": "I am crazy"}'

name: Download file
uses: wei/curl@master
with:
args:
-H "Authorization:\token ${{secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}}" -X GET https://api.github.com/repos/something/something/zipball/master/ --output something.zip

I'm trying this code

- name: Download backup archives
  uses: wei/[email protected]
  with:
    args: ${{ secrets.ARCHIVE_BACKUP }} -O

Download an empty file
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jul 14 15:13 archiveDocsBackup.tar.gz
So I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Getting error " mapping values are not allowed in this context" while having workflow as given below

Hi,

I'm executing your github action with this code:

    - name: send md5sum file to gitlab release
      uses: wei/curl@v1
      with:
        args: "-X POST \"https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/XXX/releases/A.B.C/assets/links\" -H \"Private-Token: ${{ secrets.GITLABTOKEN }}\" --data name=\"file1\" --data url=\"https://github.com/me/XXX/releases/download/A.B.C/file1\""

But when it runs:

/usr/bin/docker run --name blablabla --label blablabla --workdir /github/workspace --rm [...] blablabla -X POST "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/XXX/releases/A.B.C/assets/links" -H "Private-Token: ***" --data name="file1" --data url="https://github.com/ME/gorkscrew/XXX/download/A.B.C/file1"
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 403 
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: ***

With another actions, i've installed packages from repositories and download files from internet, so there's no problem with internet access. Could you try to resolv gitlab.com domain inside your container? Could you guess what's happening?

Thanks and best regards

I have a POST action which by design returns HTTP 406, however the curl action does not seem to fail like advertised, but action workflow passes on. Are there any example of error handling of HTTP errors?

Looks like the action uses --silent --show-error --fail as fixed arguments, but still only url: (22) The requested URL returned error: 406 is printed to the console log, without any workflow error. Also tried checking the job status using if: ${{ job.status == 'failure' }}.

I want to create an action that will allow me to get timing info of a specific run.
I asked about that on GitHub community page and got a couple of endpoints I need to query.
I'd like to use your action, but I can't find any sample on how to save response and use it in other places.
My topic on the community: https://github.community/t5/GitHub-Actions/Get-timing-info-of-the-previous-job/m-p/45250

My question is: how can I store curl response to be able to use it in other steps of my job?
