current status

[bmbferreira]

What is the current status of this action? Last release was in January, I see a couple of PRs still open (I have one open for several months already without any answer from you). Seems that you are not answering any of the open issues as well. It would be good to know if there are any plans to maintain this action. Thank you

Yeah me too am worried about this project, willing to see PR reviews and new releases soon

I ended up using https://github.com/marketplace/actions/update-json-file instead to since it's just manually editing JSON. It edits the JSON file in place and saves it to disk.

The usage looks like this:

# ...

env:
  ECR_REPOSITORY_ONE: name-one
  ECR_REPOSITORY_TWO: name-two
  ECS_TASK_DEFINITION: .aws/task-definition.json

  ECS_TASK_FAMILY_DEV: family-name-dev
  ECS_TASK_ROLE_ARN_DEV: family-name-ecs-dev-task-role
  ECS_TASK_EXECUTION_ROLE_ARN_DEV: family-name-ecs-dev-task-execution-role
  CONTAINER_DEV_SECRETS: |-
    [
      {
        "name": "SECRET_ONE",
        "valueFrom": "arn:aws:ssm:us-east-1:****:parameter/SECRET_ONE"
      },
      {
        "name": "SECRET_TWO",
        "valueFrom": "arn:aws:ssm:us-east-1:****:parameter/SECRET_TWO"
      }
    ]

jobs:
  deploy:
    name: Test Deploy
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
