Warning: Unexpected input(s) 'args', valid inputs are ['authkey', 'version'] and can't connect to tailscaled

[HarrisonFretwell]

Trying to connect Tailscale to an exit node from within GitHub actions, using the latest version. I then get the following warning when I try and do this however:

Warning: Unexpected input(s) 'args', valid inputs are ['authkey', 'version']

As well as this error after Tailscale tries to connect

failed to connect to local tailscaled (which appears to be running). Got error: Get "http://local-tailscaled.sock/localapi/v0/status": dial unix /var/run/tailscale/tailscaled.sock: connect: no such file or directory

I get this warning and error both for tailscale/github-action@v1 and tailscale/github-action@3381393d3c1da08fbd19be592d7149cd8b9dffa0, looking at the source action file I can't figure out what it is I might be doing wrong, as args seems like an accepted parameter.

The full configuration in my workflow file is as follows:

    - name: Connect to Tailscale and set Exit Node
      # Use latest commit has to be able to set extra args
      uses: tailscale/github-action@3381393d3c1da08fbd19be592d7149cd8b9dffa0
      with:
        authkey: ${{ secrets.TAILSCALE_AUTHKEY }
        args: "--exit-node=100.112.102.60"

The full error is:

Warning: Unexpected input(s) 'args', valid inputs are ['authkey', 'version']

The v1 Tag and 3381393d3c1da08fbd19be592d7149cd8b9dffa0 are both substantially before the args input went in. You'd need to use:

• tailscale/github-action with no specifier, which means as we update the action to newer Tailscale releases you will automatically start using them
• tailscale/github-action@b10fe7b66939938d10e203f6ae07776a5d135d08, the commit where the args support went in
• tailscale/github-action@5f7849625a3aa4d56c6febe7202891f6a29fb30f, the current HEAD of the tree
