False positive error raised (because of link-check@4.5.3 dependency of markdown-link-check)

[oncleben31]

In my one of my repository I use this action (see workflow configuration

Since few days I have this error at each run:

ERROR: 1 dead links found!
[✖] https://github.com/oncleben31/home-assistant-config/workflows/Home%20Assistant%20configuration/badge.svg → Status: 404

If I clic the link in the action log, the expected image is displayed. I don't understand why the script detect a 404 error.

I hit this as well and did a little more digging. It looks like a dependency changed, as tcort/markdown-link-check#142 describes other people running into issues with URLs containing %, and this project appears to depend on that tooling. So hopefully when that gets fixed we'll be fixed also.

Perhaps the action code should pin the dependency version to avoid this type of regression

The issue is now fixed in the master branch of tcort/link-check, see tcort/link-check#34 and will be available in the next release. Thanks for your patience!
