Using the output from "eas build"

[ddennis]

Description of the bug

This is most likely just me not understanding the docs or how to use the shell commands.

I have also looked into to the preview but i am not using eas update and i am currently not handling updates through PR.

My use case
I want to be able to post a slack message when the build has completed. If possible include a QR code to the download page, or a qr code directly downloading the apk.

Others have asked the same, i have linked issues below.

After giving up trying to use a build in action. I am now trying to build my own script that does the actual sending, but i dont understand how to get the output from the run command. Any help would be much appreciated.

I am expecting to be able to use the output from either this

  - name: 🚀 Build app
    id: build_cmd
    run: eas build --profile ad-hoc --platform android --non-interactive  --json

or this

  - name: 🚀 Build app
    id: buildcmd
    run:  eas build:list --gitCommitHash=${{ github.sha }} --json --non-interactive --channel=ad-hoc 

To Reproduce

  - name: 🚀 Build app
    id: buildcmd
    run:  eas build:list --gitCommitHash=${{ github.sha }} --json --non-interactive --channel=ad-hoc 

  - name: npm output josn build
    id: my_jsno_npm
    run: node ./scripts/publish-build.js ${{ steps.buildcmd.outputs }}

or

  - name: 🚀 Build app
    id: buildcmd
    run: |
      {
        echo 'JSON_RESPONSE<<EOF'
        eas build:list --gitCommitHash=xxxxxxxxxxx --json --non-interactive --channel=ad-hoc
        echo EOF
      } >> "$GITHUB_ENV"

    - name: npm output josn build
    id: my_jsno_npm
    run: node ./scripts/publish-build.js ${{ toJSON(env.JSON_RESPONSE)  }}

Expected behavior

NA

Actual behavior

NA

I got it working this way.
It's not pretty. Please if its possible to get the same functionality using an action i would appreciate some support.

  - name: 🚀 Build app
    id: buildcmd
    run: |
      {
        echo 'JSON_RESPONSE<<EOF'
        eas build:list --gitCommitHash=${{ github.sha }} --json --non-interactive --channel=ad-hoc
        echo EOF
      } >> "$GITHUB_ENV"

  - name: Run node script
    id: my_jsno_npm
    run: node ./scripts/publish-build.js ${{ toJSON(env.JSON_RESPONSE)  }}

node script:

const [command] = process.argv.slice(2)
const clean = command.replaceAll(/\\n/g, '')
const parsedObj = JSON.parse(clean)

const buildObject = parsedObj[0]
const linkToBuildPage = 'https://expo.dev/accounts/my-org/projects/some-app/builds/' + buildObject.id
