Body

I have a conditional in my workflow.

if: ! fromJson(steps.jira.outputs.response).fields.resolution && env.PROJECT == 'QNO'

This fails with the error, While parsing a tag, did not find expected tag URI. I assume this is because of the reserved !. So I tried to re-write it,

if: '! fromJson(steps.jira.outputs.response).fields.resolution && env.PROJECT == "QNO"'

This fails again with a different error, Unexpected symbol: '"QNO"' I assume this is because I can't use double quotes for string comparison. (https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/expressions, "Wrapping with double quotes (") will throw an error.") So I tried it again with no quotes around QNO,

if: '! fromJson(steps.jira.outputs.response).fields.resolution && env.PROJECT == QNO'

This also fails with the error, Unrecognized named-value: 'QNO'.

What is the correct way to quote this conditional?

This should work:

if: ${{ !fromJson(steps.jira.outputs.response).fields.resolution && env.PROJECT == 'QNO' }}
