Describe issue

Whatever I try, when using $GITHUB_OUTPUT I get an error "$GITHUB_OUTPUT: ambiguous redirect". If I set it out in the env, I don't get an error, but still, it does not work.

If I set it out in the `env`, I don't get an error, but still, it does not work. ### Link to GitHub repository _No response_ ### Workflow content ```yml name: Test GITHUB_OUTPUT on: [push] jobs:

This feature hasn't received enough reviews from maintainers yet, therefore it is unavailable and some scripts might not work.

Duplicate of #1386

Thanks @ChristopherHX, I thought it was already solved, but now I see that the PR linked on #1391 is still not closed. I'll keep watching it.

@michael-s-grant commented on GitHub (Jan 4, 2023):

I am still seeing this problem (in one and one only of in excess of thirty places where I have been replacing set-output). This discussion suggested I needed to be using a runner of at least v. 2.297.0, but mine is already 2.299.1. Placing quotes around $GITHUB_OUTPUT changed the error to " : no such file or directory"; the space before the semicolon indicates the environment variable was being interpreted as empty, even though debug proved it wasn't.

In the end, I worked around the problem by assigning the environment variable to second variable, and then appending using this and tee -a, but of course the problem needs to be solved properly, not just worked around.
