Why sed command not working in GitHub Action? - sed

Question

I have this yaml file for a Cloud Run config with the following placeholders:
REGION
SERVICE_ACCOUNT
IMAGE
PROJECT_ID
apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: tickets
labels:
cloud.googleapis.com/location: REGION
spec:
template:
spec:
serviceAccountName: SERVICE_ACCOUNT
containers:
- image: IMAGE
args:
- -firebase-project-id=PROJECT_ID
- -env=development
I also have a job defined for GitHub Actions:
# This workflow will deploy the built container image from Artifact Registry to Cloud Run.
name: Deploy to Cloud Run
on:
workflow_dispatch:
inputs:
version:
description: "The version to deploy"
required: true
jobs:
deploy:
permissions:
contents: "read"
id-token: "write"
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: checkout
uses: actions/checkout#v3
- name: Google Auth
uses: "google-github-actions/auth#v1"
with:
token_format: "access_token"
workload_identity_provider: "${{ secrets.WIF_PROVIDER }}" # e.g. - projects/123456789/locations/global/workloadIdentityPools/my-pool/providers/my-provider
service_account: "${{ secrets.WIF_SERVICE_ACCOUNT }}" # e.g. - my-service-account#my-project.iam.gserviceaccount.com

sed -i.bak "s/REGION/$REGION/g" cloud-run.yml
sed -i.bak "s/SERVICE_ACCOUNT/$SERVICE_ACCOUNT/g" cloud-run.yml

- name: Deploy to Cloud Run
uses: google-github-actions/deploy-cloudrun#v1
with:
metadata: ./cloud-run.yml
- name: Show Cloud Run URL
run: echo ${{ steps.deploy.outputs.url }}
At the Replace values in YAML file step I try to use the sed command to replace those placeholders from the Cloud run config file.
WHEN I RUN THE JOB I GET THIS ERROR:
Run sed -i.bak "s/REGION/$REGION/g" cloud-run.yml
sed: -e expression #1, char 37: unknown option to `s'
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.
And this error is not just for the REGION replace. He is the first that the sed command tries to replace...
I've also tried to use for eg. the actual value of the $REGION var in the sed command and not use the env variable and still, it didn't work...
It works only if I do something like this:
sed -i 's/REGION/<value>/g` cloud-run.yaml
but for my case I need to use double quotes "" to replace with the value of the variable $REGION...

Answer 1

Escape '/' in the IMAGE variable
Run one sed command with multiple expressions
