Error: Unable to process command '::set-env name=PERCY_GITHUB_ACTION,::exec/0.1.1' successfully

I'm trying to setup

I have added a github secret named PERCY_TOKEN and pushed the following github action workflow:

name: Percy (Visual Regression Testing)
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@master
      - name: Install
        run: yarn
      - name: Set environment variable(s)
        run: |
          echo "PERCY_TOKEN=${{ secrets.PERCY_TOKEN }}" >> $GITHUB_ENV
      - name: Percy Test
        uses: percy/exec-action@v0.1.1
        with:
          command: 'cypress run'

but it keeps failing with

I'm setting the env according the the guidelines:

Hi @Norfeldt! Looks like you're using an older version of the action (v0.1.1) that previously used the set-env command which has been disabled. This was addressed with #20 and fixed in v0.3.1, so updating the action version should prevent that error from happening.

thanks a lot @wwilsman #25
