Why is there no output? about setup-java HOT 3 CLOSED

Hello @codecholeric. If I understood well you want to see result from core.setOutput for setup-java step. For this you can use this snippet:

    - uses: actions/setup-java@v1
      id: setupJava
      with:
        java-version: 8.x

    - run: echo "${{ toJson(steps.setupJava.outputs) }}"
      shell: bash

About the issue with two env variables for JAVA_HOME we're planing to remove variant with dots for setup-java@v2:

from setup-java.

@dmitry-shibanov thanks for the info 😃 I see that the output path works as expected now! (I don't know why it hasn't when I opened the issue, because I printed steps.setupJava and nothing showed, when I run the same action now, I see

steps.setupJava:\ {
  outputs: {
    path: /opt/hostedtoolcache/jdk/9.0.7/x64,
    version: 9.0.7
  },
  outcome: success,
  conclusion: success
}

So exactly as I would expect 😄 That means I can probably simplify this beauty here now 😂 https://github.com/TNG/ArchUnit/blob/master/.github/workflows/build.yml#L57

from setup-java.

Gonna close this issue then. I think it's great to drop the env vars with dots 👍
