Github Actions steps id, how to call stdout of it? [duplicate] - github

Question

This question already has answers here:
How do I get the output of a specific step in GitHub Actions?
(4 answers)
Closed last year.
So I have issue because I want to store value of my branch prefix as id but I stumbled across... how to call it in other step?
I have something like this, so far I tried steps.branch-prefix.output.stdout and steps,branch-prefix.output.branch-prefix (first one was my instict because... what I do there returns all in stdout...)
Workflow sample:
name: PR Semver
on: [push]
jobs:
update-version:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout#v2
- name: Get current prefix
id: branch-prefix
run: echo $GITHUB_REF | sed -E 's/^refs\/heads\/(.*)\/.*/\1/'
- name: Check if branch prefix is valid (major, minor, patch)
run: |
echo "Checking branch prefix..."
echo "branch prefix: ${{ steps.branch-prefix.output.stdout }}"
if [[ ${{ steps.branch-prefix.output.stdout }} != "major" && ${{ steps.branch-prefix.output.stdout }} != "minor" && ${{ steps.branch-prefix.output.stdout }} != "patch" ]]; then
echo "Branch prefix is not valid, exiting..."
exit 1
fi

It seems like you need to use the set-output command
I think it would be something like
- name: Get current prefix
id: branch-prefix
run: |
prefix=$(echo $GITHUB_REF | sed -E 's/^refs\/heads\/(.*)\/.*/\1/')
echo "::set-output name=prefix::$prefix"
And getting it with ${{ steps.branch-prefix.output.prefix }}
