Outputs¶

Values exported by the execute mode for use in subsequent workflow steps.

Execute Mode Outputs¶

Output	Description
`working-directory`	Resolved Terraform working directory
`var-files`	JSON array of var files
`is-production`	`true` if production environment
`plan-file`	Path to generated plan file
`plan-checksum`	SHA256 of plan file
`has-changes`	`true` if plan has changes

Usage¶

Access outputs using steps.<id>.outputs:

- uses: scarowar/terraform-branch-deploy@v0.2.0
  id: execute
  if: env.TF_BD_CONTINUE == 'true'
  with:
    mode: execute
    github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

- name: Check for changes
  if: steps.execute.outputs.has-changes == 'true'
  run: echo "Infrastructure changes detected"

Using Outputs in Subsequent Jobs¶

To use outputs in a different job, export them at the job level:

jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    outputs:
      has-changes: ${{ steps.execute.outputs.has-changes }}
    steps:
      - uses: scarowar/terraform-branch-deploy@v0.2.0
        id: execute
        # ...

  notify:
    needs: deploy
    if: needs.deploy.outputs.has-changes == 'true'
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - run: echo "Changes were deployed"
