There are multiple ways to achieve that.
You can use directly jq and read variable in bash step.
You can use one of existing open source actions from marketplace:
- name: get nested property
id: format_script
uses: notiz-dev/github-action-json-property#release
with:
path: 'yourjson.json'
prop_path: 'status.azure.resource_name'
- run: echo ${{steps.format_script.outputs.prop}}
Download just one property from whole JSON if you don't need a file itself:
- uses: senmu/download-json-property-action#v1.0.0
with:
url: 'https://httpbin.org/json'
property_path: status.azure.resource_name
