v2
In v1, the checkout step was done by default inside that action. Even if you could disable it with an input, it doesn't feel like a good practice to include that in a custom action.
So In v2 you need to add the checkout step first:
steps:
+ - uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: lgdd/liferay-upgrade-action@v2
with:
java-distribution: 'zulu'
java-version: '11'If you were already using the checkout action in v1, you can now remove the input in v2:
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: lgdd/liferay-upgrade-action@v2
with:
java-distribution: 'zulu'
java-version: '11'
- checkout: false
