Setting `output` arg does not write results to disk

[onedr0p]

Hi 👋🏼

I have the action set up like this, however it always fails on the Print Output step because it cannot find /tmp/results.md. I've tried setting the output arg to ./lychee/results.md as well but that still does not work. For some reason it seems like the action is not writing the output to the file, meanwhile I see the results in stdout.

          output: /tmp/results.md

I ran into the same issue! You probably want to add to #214.

There is a potential fix already suggested in a PR as well. 👍

@tooomm, have you tried the fix in the mentioned PR?

[tooomm]

Nope. Will also not get around to it for now.

This should be fixed in master now. See https://github.com/lycheeverse/lychee-action/issues/214, https://github.com/lycheeverse/lychee-action/pull/215, https://github.com/lycheeverse/lychee-action/pull/217.
