Let github actions build_image-develop.yml and build_image_release.yml retrieve the latest release of the librebooking:

• application
• docker image

Variables to be removed:

• VERSION_LB_APP
• VERSION_LB_IMG
• DOCKER_REPOSITORY

How trustworthy is this repo/project?

This might work instead:

steps:
  - name: Checkout code
    uses: actions/checkout@v4

  - name: Get latest release
    id: get_release
    env:
      GH_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }}
    run: |
      # Fetch the latest release tag name using the GitHub CLI
      LATEST_TAG=$(gh release view --json tagName -q ".tagName")
      echo "The latest release is $LATEST_TAG"
      
      # Output it for use in subsequent steps
      echo "latest_tag=$LATEST_TAG" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"

  - name: Use the latest release tag
    run: |
      echo "The tag from the previous step was: ${{ steps.get_release.outputs.latest_tag }}"

No, this would not work, for I need to retrieve the latest release from 2 different repos (have a look at build_image_release.yml).

If we want a generic solution, then we would need to curl the github API that returns the latest release https://api.github.com/repos/OWNER/REPO/releases and extract the output data

We could also select other more recently updated actions, such as ophiosdev/github-action-latest-release

A comment from Claude:

  2. Use gh instead of the third-party action. Two run: steps would do the same job with no outside dependency:
  - id: get_release_img
    env: { GH_TOKEN: "${{ github.token }}" }
    run: echo "release=$(gh release view -R ${{ github.repository }} --json tagName -q .tagName)" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
  - id: get_release_app
    env: { GH_TOKEN: "${{ github.token }}" }
    run: echo "release=$(gh release view -R librebooking/librebooking --json tagName -q .tagName)" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"

As a final alternative, we could git clone and git tag to retrieve the info...

But at this stage, I believe that using one of the 2 github actions is the most effective solution for such a simple need

[JohnVillalovos]

Are you sure that this $ syntax is valid?

[colisee]

Yes, the $/ syntax is valid, as indicated here
