Error: "docker: invalid reference format" about redis-github-action

[marcuspoehls]

@francislavoie Yeah definitely, the action should validate the input before starting the Docker container. Would avoid frustration and confusion in case of issues. Thank you for making it obvious 👍

@francislavoie Hey Francis, I think you’re not defining a Redis version in your GitHub Actions workflow file.

Here’s a sample config using Redis 4, 5, and 6:

name: Run tests

on: [push]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    strategy:
      matrix:
        redis-version: [4, 5, 6]

…

I did actually Vectorface/cache@7f6a103 but oops, just noticed I made a typo with plural s 😬 my bad!

That said, the error could probably be more useful. Maybe this action should validate that the version number looks reasonable (non-empty etc) before trying to run Docker? Would have saved me from this confusion 😅
