issues with the code for this action and the new javascript interop

[devoncarew]

When trying the new (unpublished) latest patch release functionality we've run across a few issues.

• in workflow files, sdk versions of 3.0 will be passed to the action as 3, possibly due to javascript numerics. specifying '3.0' (in quotes) will address this, but we may want to special case integers (3 => 3.0)
• failures are very verbose (see below)
• we throw an exception when trying to report an exception; possibly due to an issue in the npm library? or possible due to our js interop code (TypeError: Cannot set property exitCode of [object Module] which has only a getter\n at Module.setFailed)

longer failure:

Likely related, we can call the process.exitCode setter, but it does not properly change the exit code of the process (i.e., even after callingprocess.exitCode = 1; the process will still exit w/ a code of 0.

[devoncarew]

cc @srujzs - we're having some trouble with some of the interop code; one method throws when we try and call it and one method doesn't seem to properly modify a javascript value. Perhaps due to javascript modules in some way? I've mostly worked around this in #108 but it would be nice to be able to call the normal github action apis. Happy to provide more details as necessary.

[srujzs]

exitCode seems to be only imported as a getter when I print out the process module. I think the reason why it throws in setFailed versus a silent no-op when setting it directly might be due to a difference in strict-mode, but not sure. I wonder if setting exitCode fails because there's a difference in how process is imported e.g. import process from 'process' vs import * as process from 'process', where the latter is sealed.

I wanted to try out the different import, but couldn't figure how to regenerate index.mjs.

[devoncarew]

Thanks for the response - sounds like there may be some things I can investigate wrt the imports.

You can re-compile the javascript and re-bundle it via running npm run all (some of the details of how the action is built are in the https://github.com/dart-lang/setup-dart/blob/main/DEVELOPING.md doc).

[srujzs]

Ah I missed that - thanks!

Changing the imports does get me past that error now.

[devoncarew]

Thanks! W/ the import change I'm now able to assign a value to process exitCode (https://github.com/dart-lang/setup-dart/pull/108/files#diff-9fb9cb088ba78f6a223d4643987e84f1ca1fec8741ad34c2912176aad9a2d0c6R12).

[srujzs]

Nice! I think you should be able to call setFailed and avoid having to deal with the process API directly, do you notice an issue still with that?

[devoncarew]

I did not re-try that API. I believe that's from the @actions/core module? I wasn't really sure if I should convert all the import types over to default imports or keep them as namespace imports; I just tweaked the one (for process) that I was having trouble with.

[srujzs]

I believe that's from the @actions/core module

Yeah, I think that's right. It looks like all it does is set the exitCode and error with the given message, so it should work without any other import changes.
