Save JSON output as artifact (vale-action)

[dobaret]

Hello,

I'm trying to save the result of a vale-action analysis with a JSON output. I'd like a file which I could download.

I tried something many different things, the most obvious being the following:

name: Vale Lint

on: [push, workflow_dispatch]

jobs:
  syntax-check:
    name: vale
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
        - name: Checkout this repository
          uses: actions/checkout@main

        - name: Validate the syntax
          uses: errata-ai/vale-action@reviewdog
          with:
            fail_on_error: true
            vale_flags: "--output=JSON > result.json"

        - name: Upload results
          if: always()
          uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
          with:
            name: lint-results
            path: result.json

But I get this error message:

{
  "Code": "E100",
  "Text": "E100 [doLint] Runtime error\n\nargument '\u003e' does not exist\n\nExecution stopped with code 1."
}

Can anyone suggest a solution? I've looked everywhere, but I can't figure it out.

The vale_flags is processed here.

https://github.com/errata-ai/vale-action/blob/91ac403e8d26f5aa1b3feaa86ca63065936a85b6/src/input.ts#L62

But it is not clear why it should fail with this doLint error. Can you check that result.json exists without uploading?
