I have the following 2 jobs. I have confirmed that the assignment to the variables in each step of the Set batch indicator job is valid and was able to echo out what I expected. However when I try to set it to the GITHUB_OUTPUT to refer in the 2nd step, it doesn't seem to work. The self hosted runner is on Windows 2022 and I need to use powershell for the shell (not powershell core, shell:pwsh). I have tried the below implementation of setting to GITHUB_OUTPUT as well as echo "variable=$variable" >> GITHUB_OUTPUT and echo "variable=$variable" >> env:GITHUB_OUTPUT I have tried them both with and without quotations around the GITHUB_OUTPUT

set-batch-indicator:
    runs-on: self-hosted

    needs: [build, test] 
    steps:    
    - name: Set Config Source Batch Identifier

      run: |
        $ConfigSrcBatch = "${{ vars.CODE_SOURCE_BATCH }}".replace("BATCH","${{ inputs.batchToDeploy }}")

        echo "Test='t'" | Out-File -FilePath $env:GITHUB_OUTPUT -Encoding utf8 -Append

        echo ${{ needs.set-batch-indicator.outputs.CodeSourceBatch }}
        echo ${{ needs.set-batch-indicator.outputs.DistributionPathBatch }}

I tried to debug this a bit with get-content but the output is just empty. Even with my echo "Test='t'" line it is empty which makes no sense to me.

You have to set outputs at the job level:

set-batch-indicator:
  runs-on: self-hosted
  environment: ${{ inputs.environment }}
  needs: [build, test]
  outputs:
    ConfigSourceBatch: ${{ steps.batch-config-source.outputs.ConfigSourceBatch }}
    # etc.    
  steps:
    - # ...

Also, the PowerShell syntax to set an output, according to the docs, is this:

"SELECTED_COLOR=green" >> $env:GITHUB_OUTPUT
