ci: use single quotes in the ci-green join expression - #6
Merged
Conversation
fd3c7e4 wrote join(needs.*.result, " "), which is valid YAML but invalid as a GitHub Actions expression: the expression language accepts single quotes only. The workflow failed to parse, so the run showed up named after the file rather than "CI" and no job ran at all. Caught by actionlint: ci.yml:93:48: got unexpected character '"' while lexing expression ... only single quotes are available for string delimiter [expression] Worth knowing for anything added here later: a YAML parser cannot catch this class of error, since the expression language sits a layer above YAML.
