I clearly have no idea what I'm doing, I should figure out how to test these without pushing a change.

Run ammarlakis/action-ajv@master
  with:
    schema: .github/homebrew-schema.json
    data: 5etools-homebrew/*json
    allErrors: true
Error: Failed to validate: no schema with key or ref "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema"

Not sure if I'm doing this right, will look into it again later. It did catch errors in the Rider-Waite file, but then fixing those failed with this error.

Yes running the npx command works, but fails on not being able to find the files. I probably need to pull the repo first?

On testing Github Actions locally, apparently I am not that dumb there really is no built in way to test Actions without pushing it and then waiting for the stupid thing to run:

• StackOverflow discussion suggestions:
  • Use act locally
  • Tool agnostic - bash scripts or Dockerfiles and just have the Action run that command
  • Clone to private repo and fuck with it there
  • Create a dummy action YAML, then fork it and fuck with it. Squash into one commit and re-merge.
  • Self host it https://github.com/actions/runner

Ok so now what needs to happen is I need to merge the validate and the update actions into one file.

Set the remote update to needs: the validation job.

Then update will only happen after the schema validates the file. This prevents errors from being able to enter the production site data.
