This recipe has required options, which a build sets in a rewrite.yml recipe that you activate instead.

Usage

You’ll need the Moderne CLI configured before running the command below.

mod run . --recipe org.openrewrite.github.ChangeActionVersion --recipe-option "action=actions/setup-java" --recipe-option "version=v4"

If the recipe isn’t available locally, install it with:

mod config recipes jar install org.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-github-actions:RELEASE

Options

NameTypeDescription
actionrequiredStringName of the action to update.
e.g. actions/setup-java
versionrequiredStringVersion to use.
e.g. v4
oldShaStringRestricts the change by the existing uses: ref. When omitted, the version is changed regardless of how the action is pinned (the default; commit SHA pins are rewritten). When set to an empty string, only references that are **not** pinned to a 40-character commit SHA are changed, preserving deliberate SHA pins. When set to a specific commit SHA, only references pinned to exactly that SHA are changed.
e.g. 8f4b7f84864484a7bf31766abe9204da3cbe65b3
