Hi,
Trying to revive testing for openvswitch.openvswitch collection I stumbled across this:
Error when evaluating ‘strategy’ for job ‘unit_source’. ansible-network/github_actions/.github/workflows/unit_source.yml@main (Line: 128, Col: 18): Error from function ‘fromJSON’: empty input, ansible-network/github_actions/.github/workflows/unit_source.yml@main (Line: 128, Col: 18): Unexpected value ‘’
Details can be seen in Fix ansible-lint errors · ansible-collections/openvswitch.openvswitch@e5ef4b9 · GitHub
Does anyone have a clue what might be wrong?

As the GitHub Action Workflow is 2 years old, I’d maybe start by copying
Remembering to add ansible.netcommon into test-deps

I think I had to learn GitHub Actions.
First of all - variables won’t be available on a pull request from a fork
And the variable was not holding a parseable JSON content - so that’s now working.
Trying to get a workable state of the repository - and then I can compare with the template.
Thanks for help!

Actually I could use more help - unit_galaxy: Fix undefined runs-on by mnasiadka · Pull Request #188 · ansible-network/github_actions · GitHub needs a review, and that would unblock bringing openvswitch.openvswitch back to life
