How may I share a secret between two steps?

[jeanchilger]

I am using a single job. A step1 will generate a secret and a step2 will consume this secret. I came across this action and thought in using it to accomplish that. Here is an exmaple of what I have tried:

      - name: Encodes JWT
        uses: cloudposse/github-action-secret-outputs@main
        id: store-jwt
        with:
          secret: D955E283528E128AFDBE10E439168691754EB101
          op: encode
          in: ${{ env.MY_JWT }}
      - name: Decodes JWT
        uses: cloudposse/github-action-secret-outputs@main
        id: get-jwt
        with:
          secret: D955E283528E128AFDBE10E439168691754EB101
          op: decode
          in: ${{ steps.store-jwt.outputs.out }}
      
      ...
      
      - name: Consume secret through API
        uses: fake/do-api-stuff
        with:
          token: steps.get-jwt.outputs.out

Getting an error though, so cannot validate if this works:

Any help is welcome. Thanks!
