Unable to get release title in github actions-CodePudding

I've added github action that sends a message on our slack channel on every release.

I've managed to get repo name and tag from github context (https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/contexts#github-context), but I'm also trying and failing to get release title and release notes in that message. I've tried these combinations: ${{ github.event.payload.release.name || github.event.payload.release || github.event.payload }}.

Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

EDIT:

name: Release
on:
  push:
    tags:
      - 'v*'
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v1

      - name: Sbt
        uses: olafurpg/setup-scala@v10

      - name: Set library version
        run: ./sbt dynver

      - name: Publish stable version
        run: ./sbt publish
        env:
          JFROG_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.JFROG_PASSWORD }}

      - name: Post to a Slack channel
        id: slack
        uses: slackapi/[email protected]

        with:
          channel-id: 'releases'
          slack-message: "Release result: ${{ job.status }}\n${{ github.repository }}: ${{ github.ref_name }}\nRelease info: ${{ github.event.payload.release.name }}, ${{ github.event.payload.release }} ${{ github.event.payload }}"
        env:
          SLACK_BOT_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SLACK_BOT_TOKEN }}

CodePudding user response：

Instead of triggering on the tag, trigger on the release creation. That way the release information will be present.

on:
  release:
    types: [published]

The tag will be under github.event.release.tag_name, the release under github.event.release.name.

Tags can be created independently of releases, that's why.
