Specify output filename

[SharkFourSix]

How do you specify the output name. I need to specify the name myself because I want to use the file in another file which in not part of the build steps.

Unfortunately, this action doesn't support specifying the output file name. I made this action quite a while ago and there are a few things to improve, that's one of them. For now, you can add your own step where you run a shell command to rename the file, e.g:

jobs:
  publish:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Publish Document
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Publish PDF Document
        uses: shrink/actions-document-publish@v1
        id: publish-document
        with:
          sources: 'documents/front.md documents/examples/**/*.md documents/back.md'
      - run: mv ${{ steps.publish-document.outputs.pdf }} your-file-name.pdf

Alright. Thanks.

I'm getting this error here. Where exactly does it save?

You may need to prefix the destination file to ensure the path is treated as relative so it is moved into the workspace, i.e: ./README.pdf

Same thing. Permission denied. I noticed there are also two "//", indicating a missing directory entry.

Oh well
