Could you add some integration tests here:
https://github.com/cake-build/cake/blob/develop/tests/integration/Cake.Common/Build/GitHubActions/GitHubActionsProvider.cake

Wonder if group / endgroup should have an IDisposable helper so one could do a using statement like TravisCI fold

That could be in follow up PR tomorrow if your short in time.

It might take a couple of iterations to get the integration tests working satisfactorily. Bear with me.

@devlead I see the group but not the message inside the group for some reason. Is this something to do with how the integration tests are run? What am I missing?

Think it needs to be quoted, example of the command used in wild

if (BuildSystem.GitHubActions.IsRunningOnGitHubActions)
{
    TaskSetup(context=> System.Console.WriteLine($"::group::{context.Task.Name.Quote()}"));
    TaskTeardown(context=>System.Console.WriteLine("::endgroup::"));
}

Result:

Hmm also looks like :: instead of ## 🤔

No, doesn't need to be quoted, and that output is from the log which seems to be related to azure pipelines legacy. Basically the group is working fine. It's the following information output that's missing. Same problem with the secret test.

I've been using (unquoted) groups for a while: https://github.com/gitfool/Cake.Dungeon/blob/3d9f8c6fd79cb74089e7f4d6d70c68fda5c20662/scripts/bootstrap.cake#L24-L38

Annotations are working as expected. It's only the Information output that's missing. I expect it will work fine outside of the integration tests. Good enough for now?

Ah, the information you won't see as the integration tests run at a lower verbosity.

I switched to a Console.WriteLine if it turns up I'm happy ;)

@gitfool your changes have been merged, thanks for your contribution 👍
