Explanation

To set an error message in a GitHub Actions runner's output, you should use the command echo "::error::Your error message" in your workflow's run step. This workflow command creates an error annotation that will appear in the logs, and you can optionally include file and line number information, such as echo "::error file=app.js,line=5::Error message". https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflows-and-actions/workflow-commands
