Remove use of save-state and set-output in GitHub Actions

[desrosj]

The save-state and set-output commands have been deprecated in GitHub Actions and a large number of notices are being shown on workflow runs.

Some of these are coming from third-party actions and cannot be fixed until an update is made available. However, there are a handful within steps specific to Core that should also be fixed.

More info: ​https://github.blog/changelog/2022-10-11-github-actions-deprecating-save-state-and-set-output-commands/

In 54511:

Build/Test Tools: Update third-party GitHub Actions.

This updates the following third-party actions to their latest versions:

• actions/cache
• actions/checkout
• actions/setup-node
• actions/github-script
• slackapi/slack-github-action

The latest versions of these actions fix the warnings that are being triggered after the deprecation of set-output and save-state on GitHub Actions.

For more information, see ​https://github.blog/changelog/2022-10-11-github-actions-deprecating-save-state-and-set-output-commands/.

See #56820.

[desrosj]

Prior to [54511] there were 344 related total warnings being output across Core's workflows.

After, this is reduced to 74. Going to continue chunking through as updates become available.

[jrf]

FYI: setup-php has announced that a new version will be tagged, probably this weekend, which will fix it for that action runner. See: ​https://github.com/shivammathur/setup-php/issues/654

Trac ticket: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/56820.

[chaion07]

Thanks @desrosj for reporting this. We discussed this ticket during a recent bug-scrub session. Here's the summary of the feedback received from the team.

1. This is just a tooling item to address the deprecated items upstream.
2. @desrosj graciously volunteered to take care sometime in the near future with a new patch to commit.
3. The team decided to leave the ticket as is and in the milestone.

Props to @desrosj for all the hard work!

In 54649:

Build/Test Tools: Remove use of set-output in Action workflows.

The save-state and set-output commands have been deprecated in GitHub Actions. This removes all occurrences of the command within workflow steps.

This will not remove all deprecated notices from workflow summaries (some third-party actions still contain instances of these commands and need to be fixed upstream), but it will fix the notices caused by custom workflow code.

See #56820.

Merged in https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/54649

[desrosj]

It's going to take a bit more time for third-party actions to update and remove these. All of the instances of this have been removed from the Core workflow code, so I think this can be closed out after [54649] is backported and those can be taken care of as they become available.

Marking for a second committer to review.

Also, #56882 can handle any further backporting.

Marking for a second committer to review.

What needs to be reviewed ? Commit [54649] for backport ? If so, I'm good with it.

[desrosj]

Replying to jrf:

What needs to be reviewed ? Commit [54649] for backport ? If so, I'm good with it.

Correct! Thanks for confirming. Marking as reviewed and will backport shortly.

Merges [54649] to the 6.1 branch.
Props jrf.
See #56820.

[desrosj]

This can be considered fixed. Further backporting will be handled in #56882.

In 54750:

Build/Test Tools: Fix more set-output deprecated warnings.

This updates the ramsey/composer-install and shivammathur/setup-php actions to their latest versions.

These updates include fixes for the deprecated warnings output when using set-output and save-state commands.

Props jrf, desrosj.
