actions-exec-listener

@actions/exec wrapper to get listener data value as return value.

Usage

const exec = require('actions-exec-listener');
// instead of
// const exec = require('@actions/exec');
 
const options = {};
options.cwd = './lib';
const { stdoutStr: myOutput, stderrStr: myError } = await exec.exec('node', ['index.js', 'foo=bar'], options);

Using @actions/exec

const exec = require('@actions/exec');
 
let myOutput = '';
let myError = '';
 
const options = {};
options.listeners = {
  stdout: (data: Buffer) => {
    myOutput += data.toString();
  },
  stderr: (data: Buffer) => {
    myError += data.toString();
  }
};
options.cwd = './lib';
 
await exec.exec('node', ['index.js', 'foo=bar'], options);
