James, I wanted to follow your article, but it seems like composite actions require a certain synthax, which is documented here: docs.github.com/en/actions/creatin...

For me, following your steps from article, I get following error:

Unexpected value 'uses'
Unexpected value 'with'
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Any idea why it is working for you but not for me? I'm confused that it's working for you since it's not according to the official docs, tbh :-D

Hey Hans,
Unfortunately without more information it's difficult to identify exactly what is wrong. If you can link me to a GitHub repository, if I have time I will look.
Additionally, the docs that you have linked only scratch the surface of what you can do with composite actions!
