Originally created by @AnandChowdhary on GitHub (Aug 26, 2020).

Since v2, I'm getting an error triggering webhooks. The webhook is a long Caprover URL that looks like this, and is stored as a secret in the GitHub repository:

https://example.environment.domain.com/api/v2/user/apps/webhooks/triggerbuild?namespace=captain&token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJkYXRhIjp7InRva2VuVmVyc2lvbiI6ImE1Njk1Mjg1LTEyMzQtNTY3OC04OTA0LTE2YTg3NTNiZGI3YyIsImFwcE5hbWUiOiJhcGkiLCJuYW1lc3BhY2UiOiJjYXB0YWluIn0sImlhdCI6MTU5NDU3ODQ5NH0.9nQzitytlOx5xo8CDgU1-1pa1rIlF8SXToC402V7MlE

This is the error:

Same here, and my URL is not super long. FYI you can use the previous version by specifying the commit hash uses: joelwmale/webhook-action@749e2dcbc6735ce0c36e1dbbb660618cd7b5f91c

@AnandChowdhary Using the URL you provided as an example I cannot replicate the error. I do get a failed to reach host as obviously the URL does not point anywhere but that goes past the check to see if the URL is a well-formatted URL or not.

Are you able to find another URL that is failing that you are able to provide?

Seeing this also. The webhook URL I'm using triggers deployments so I can't share it here, but I can confirm that it (the deployment URL) is still working, is not super-long, and the webhook action is failing. Excellent action btw, thanks so much for putting it together!

@AnandChowdhary is the webhook being hit with the post request at all? Or is it just not making the request?

I've changed the secret to a RequestBin.com URL so I can see all requests to it (https://en5cm912o0dug.x.pipedream.net/).

Here's the test with the new URL: https://github.com/AnandChowdhary/joelwmale-webhook-action-17/runs/1035357460

No requests have been made.

@AnandChowdhary That's odd because I'm using a requestbin url and I get no errors: https://github.com/joelwmale/test/blob/master/.github/workflows/deploy.yml (where @develop is the current @master)

Can you try using a GitHub secret rather than a hard-coded URL? I think that's somehow the problem...

Aah, you're using with instead of env. I'm almost certain that's the issue, v2 is no longer checking process.env. for the URL.

@AnandChowdhary Ah sorry I did not notice that in your initial comment. Yes, I migrated to with instead of env for this update since it's now using JS/TS and not Bash. Can you try that and let me know?

I will update the code to check for at least the URL existing in a well-formatted format but hopefully, that fixes your issue.

Yes, it works. I've added a PR to add support for environment variables in v1 back to v2.

@AnandChowdhary Great. Left a small comment on the PR for you.

@Evanfeenstra @ok200paul Can you guys please use with or continue using env after the PR is released? I'm closing this now and will continue discussions on the PR. Thanks for the help @AnandChowdhary!

@AnandChowdhary @Evanfeenstra @ok200paul When your workflow pulls the latest version (if you have it set to @master) it will work once more. If you are targetting a release @2.0.0, please update this to @2.0.1.

Thanks for the feedback & help guys.
