Read output of `actions.run` from BXL about buck2

Is there a good reason to do it in BXL?

For CI purpose it looks more reasonable to find the files with git, then find file owners with buck2 cquery or something, and then build.

BXL is quite power tool, but it cannot replace everything.

(I think what you ask is not easily possible, but I can be wrong, and this feature could be added to buck2).

It doesn't have to be I suppose, but I figured that getting the right targets to build and/or test afterwards would be easier from BXL.

That link is a 404 for me, but it sounds interesting, is it private?

Also, consider this issue: if build fails, and users want to reproduce it, it would be easier for them if there was buck2 build or buck2 test command in CI logs which users could just copy-paste.

Anyway, BXL cannot do it now easily, but may be able to do it one day if there's demand for it.

That's too bad, do you know if there are plans to publish it? More out of curiosity really, I'm going to get this working on our side now either way.

That's a good point.

Thanks for the clarification!
