Github Actions workflow_dispatch choice not working - github-actions

Question

So, i have tried different versions of this, but i still cannot get it right.
I have a github actions pipeline where i would like to insert a choice so people don't have to look for it in documentation:
name: Echo message
on:
workflow_dispatch:
inputs:
hubAddressGroupObject:
type: choice
description: 'Enter the name of the hub where the entry is added'
required: true
default: 'AZURE-EUW-XXXXX'
options:
- 'AZURE-EUW-XXXXX'
- 'AZURE-FRC-XXXXX'
- 'AZURE-USE-XXXXX'
- 'AZURE-FRC-XXXXX'
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout#v2
- name: WriteMessage
shell: pwsh
run: |
Test-script.ps1 -message "${{ github.event.inputs.hubAddressGroupObject }}"
The 'Test-script.p1' can look like this:
param (
[string] $message
)
Write-Host ('{0}' -f $message)
The output is still a normal workflow_dispatch with no choice.
What am i doing wrong?
Also, i have merged the current branch into main (default).

Answer 1

your code seems to be correct, you have space issue's with "jobs",
shift-tab it and it should work:
name: Echo message
on:
workflow_dispatch:
inputs:
hubAddressGroupObject:
type: choice
description: 'Enter the name of the hub where the entry is added'
required: true
default: 'AZURE-EUW-XXXXX'
options:
- 'AZURE-EUW-XXXXX'
- 'AZURE-FRC-XXXXX'
- 'AZURE-USE-XXXXX'
- 'AZURE-FRC-XXXXX'
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout#v2
- name: WriteMessage
run: |
echo "${{ github.event.inputs.hubAddressGroupObject }}"
