action-typescript's Issues

Node.js 22 support

linz/argo-tasks#1003 broke when updating to Node.js 22, seemingly because of a change in the node CLI. Changing node --test build/ to node --test fixes the issue locally.

Release unchanging versions

Using the branch name as the version ID is confusing, non-standard, and means it's not possible to pin a uses directive to a (hopefully non-moving) tag. Basically, if linz/action-typescript@v1 changes in some way, this could break dependent projects in ways which are hard to debug. It would be good if this project used the standard release mechanism (or just tags rather than branches) instead.
