Details

action-set adds the given values to the results map of the action. This map is returned to the user after the completion of the action. Keys must be given as a flat period-separated path of keys. Each key must start and end with lowercase alphanumeric, and contain only lowercase alphanumeric and hyphens. Examples of valid key paths: [“foo”, “500”, “5-o-0”, “foo.bar”, “foo.bar.baz”, “foo-bar.baz”] Examples of invalid key paths: [“-foo”, “foo-”, “foo-.bar”, “foo!bar”, “foo..bar”, “.foo”, “foo.”, “.”, “”] The following special keys are reserved for internal use, and thus not allowed: “stdout”, “stdout-encoding”, “stderr”, “stderr-encoding”. Values are always interpreted as strings. The final result will be a nested object containing the merged results, with any conflicting values overwriting previous values.
