Github Actions script error in YAML syntax

name: Test

on:
  workflow_call:
    secrets:
      MY_SECRET:
        required: true

jobs:
  shared-setup:
    uses: *****/*****/.github/workflows/shared-setup.yml@main

  unique-test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: shared-setup

    env:
      SUPER_SECRET: ${{ secrets.MY_SECRET }}

    - name: Do something
      run: echo "Hello World!"

I seem to have an errror in my YAML doc. but I can't see it. Deploying to GitHub results in an error that the document has an error in the yaml syntax near the line saying unique-test:.

Missing steps in your second job i.e. unique-test.

I believe that in your first job, you deliberately redacted the username/repo for uses. Once the steps key is added and those asterisks are replaced with valid values, it should work fine.

Fixed workflow (linted):

name: Test

on:
  workflow_call:
    secrets:
      MY_SECRET:
        required: true

jobs:
  shared-setup:
    uses: username/repo/.github/workflows/shared-setup.yml@main

  unique-test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: shared-setup

    env:
      SUPER_SECRET: ${{ secrets.MY_SECRET }}

    steps:
    - name: Do something
      run: echo "Hello World!"

• Always use https://rhysd.github.io/actionlint to lint your workflows.
• Also, you can use https://github.com/nektos/act to lint as well run your workflows locally.

you can use online tool like yaml checker or editor in the github workflow it self. and it's quite helpful.

1. the uses of shared-setup should be in string, you can use `` | ''
2. you have to put the process below steps,

the result should be like:

name: Test

on:
  workflow_call:
    secrets:
      MY_SECRET:
        required: true

jobs:
  shared-setup:
    uses: '*****/*****/.github/workflows/shared-setup.yml@main'

  unique-test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: shared-setup    
    steps:
      - name: Do something
        run: echo "Hello World!"
        env:
          SUPER_SECRET: ${{ secrets.MY_SECRET }}
