Thanks for raising this - these are triggered by third party actions (such as gradle-build-action), so as they get updated, this will resolve itself.

I did a bit of investigation to see which ones are the interesting actions:

• website.yml (example https://github.com/detekt/detekt/actions/runs/3261225698/jobs/5355677542)
  • actions/checkout (3)
  • actions/setup-java (3)
  • gradle/gradle-build-action (6)
• pre-merge.yml (example https://github.com/detekt/detekt/actions/runs/3266022234)
  • verify-generated-config-file (10)
    • actions/checkout (3)
    • actions/setup-java (3)
    • gradle/gradle-build-action (4)
  • compile-test-snippets (10)
    • actions/checkout (3)
    • actions/setup-java (3)

  • Fixed by Update actions/checkout digest to 93ea575 #5445
• actions/setup-java issue #393, fixed in 3.6.0 on 18 Oct, already released.
  • Fixed by Update actions/setup-java digest to de1bb2b #5440
• gradle/gradle-build-action issue #461, will be (at least partially) fixed once #455 is merged and released.
  • Fix commited in gradle/gradle-build-action@c224a16#diff-7ae45ad102eab3b6d7e7896acd08c427a9b25b346470d7bc6507b6481575d519R30
  • Another fix merged in Replace use of set-output command with env file gradle/gradle-build-action#477
  • Released in 2.3.3
  • Fixed by Update gradle/gradle-build-action digest to 3fbe033 #5467

@detekt please press the first checkbox at #4298:

Update actions/checkout digest to 93ea575

(this is according to Renovate guru.)

[BraisGabin]

Done

[BraisGabin]

@TWiStErRob so now we are just waiting for gradle/gradle-build-action, right?

[TWiStErRob]

Yeah, seems so, 0 activity so far. They have tons of dependency update PRs open, so I think it's abandoned.

[TWiStErRob]

They fixed it as well, not released yet. I'm watching for releases will update once I get the email.
