I hava a actions repo seepine/action-test-output

import * as core from '@actions/core'


const a = 'this is a'
const b = 'this is b \n and this is bb'


core.setOutput('a', a)
core.setOutput('b', b)

And in workflow
test.yml

      - uses: seepine/action-test-output@main
        id: test
    
      - run: |
          echo ${{ steps.test.outputs.a }}
          echo ${{ steps.test.outputs.b }}

The log of b is empty

this is a

Now, i use fs.writeFileSync('output.txt', 'content\ncontent line2'), And I want to know if outputs can be implemented

I get this (version:v0.2.3+10-g1a7ec5f)

this is a
this is b
/var/run/act/workflow/3: line 4: and: command not found

This error is expected, because you should assign the output to an env var and reference it like

- run: |
    echo "$OUTPUT"    
  env:
    OUTPUT: ${{ steps.test.outputs.b }}

Now, i use fs.writeFileSync('output.txt', 'content\ncontent line2')

This is not the right syntax see https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-commands-for-github-actions#setting-an-output-parameter

@seepine
I cannot tell you what is wrong without your actual workflow / action content.

Actually, i have tried so much, but it can't work

Line 1-6 are syntactically valid, but are affected by script injection.
Line 6-9 are invalid, replace is not an expression function (Gitea could change that, but the current act code of gitea doesn't look like to have it)

I have attached a zip of my test repo (It is literally a copy of the information you have provided in your first post). If that works on your side (e.g. you see the same error as in my comment #327 (comment)) and seepine/action-test-output is also a nodejs action then the issue is your code not act_runner.
However I have not enough information about your current code to help you further.
