Deployment Status Update Action

This action lets you easily update status of a Deployment on GitHub. Learn more at GitHub Documentation.

Action inputs

Name	Required	Default value	Description
run_id	yes		Set this to ${{ github.run_id }} so the deployment status log URL can be properly set.
status	yes		Desired status of the Deployment. Can be one of error, failure, inactive, in_progress, queued, pending or success
description	no		A short description of the status. The maximum description length is 140 characters.
auto_inactive	no	true	Adds a new inactive status to all prior non-transient, non-production environment deployments with the same repository and environment name as the created status's deployment. An inactive status is only added to deployments that had a success state.
environment_url	no		Sets the URL for accessing your environment.
deployment_status_url	no	(loaded from event)	Explicitly specify the deployment status URL to post the deployment status to. Normally, this will be auto-detected from the GitHub Actions DeploymentEvent payload. However, if you are runnning from another event type or want to override the deployment to update, you can manually specify the full https://api.github.com/repos/:owner/:repo/deployments/:deployment_id/statuses URL here.
