copy-action's Issues

Q) Paste in a specific location of another file

Hi ,
I have a repo where I've database.md where i have a large table of database and i also want to show to same database rendered in README.md of my repo. But README file has other institutions as well . So i want to paste the whole table in a specific location of that README file.

I want something like , if i push new data in the table inside database.md then the whole table will get updated to README.md as well via copy paste action

Is it possible?

I'm a complete new in CI/CD so I don't have any idea.

Q: Copy multiple files?

Hi Ricardo,
Could you please add an example of how one would copy multiple files using this action?
Cheers!

Copy does not work on files with spaces in their path

Steps to reproduce

• Save a file called "This has spaces"
• Run copy-action to copy it to "This-has-no-spaces"

Expected behaviour: Copy works
Actual behaviour: Copy fails because the shell can't parse the spaces in the filename.

Is it possible to copy several folders

I have several environment files to be copied in different folders, it would be nice to copy them with a single command/step

Error: Container action is only supported on Linux

I'm trying to run this action on macOS, but it seems not to be supported...

From what I've searched, it's because this actions is Dockerfile based and not javascript.
Can someone give a hint?

Thanks in advance.

using copy-action, but not moving the files.

using

• name: Copy m3u8
  uses: canastro/copy-file-action@master
  with:
  source: "./tests"
  target: "./data"
  flags: '-r'

however its not copying anything from ./data
should be copying folders and contents?

Seeking guidance to make the copy-action work

I'd like to use this action, but so far not having success.

One source of confusion:
https://github.com/marketplace/actions/copy-file
suggests:
uses: canastro/copy-file-action@master
while the use "Latest button says:
uses: canastro/[email protected]

Neither worked for me on my effort at https://github.com/mroswell/list-N/blob/main/.github/workflows/copy_json_file.yml
I also tried with:
uses: canastro/copy-action@master

I'll be transforming a file, and I'd like to make a copy of the source before I do so. So I think it's the perfect use case for this action if I can figure out how to get it to work.

Dynamic file detection

Is there a way to only copy the file that was pushed to the repo? In other words, dynamically detect the file that was pushed (to specify in the copy action) rather than hardcode a file
