Argument list too long

[norbertwnuk]

The example bellow shows that the action parameters are (most likely) passed as command line argument(s), as such prone to ARG_MAX limit for large ${{ toJSON( github ) }} context.

- name: Repository checkout
  uses: Wandalen/[email protected]
  with:
    attempt_limit: 2
    attempt_delay: 10000
    action: actions/[email protected]
    with: |
      fetch-depth: 0
      filter: tree:0
      show-progress: false

Run Wandalen/[email protected]
Run Wandalen/[email protected]_js_action
Error: An error occurred trying to start process '/home/runner/externals/node20/bin/node' with working directory '/home/runner/_work/gh-group-name/gh-repo-name'. Argument list too long

Hi @norbertwnuk

I've tried your example in my testing repository and it works well.

Please, provide additional context and I probably would be able to solve the issue.

It fails only on larger enough PRs, in my case:

I see.

I'll fix it when I have time.

Probably the same issue Warning: Environment variable 'INPUT_GITHUB_CONTEXT' exceeds the maximum supported length. Environment variable length: 38808 , Maximum supported length: 32766.

Is there a way to use a file instead of env.INPUT_GITHUB_CONTEXT to get around this issue,
e.g. echo '${{ toJson(github_context) }}' > github_context.json?
