Getting warning regaring pecl

[ADmad]

Error message

##[warning]Input 'pecl' has been deprecated with message: The pecl property will not be supported after February 1, 2020. Specify pecl in tools instead.

Apologies, I can fix the error by following the error message :)

Yes, specify pecl in the tools input

[ADmad]

Is this config change required due to change in some external tool / service?

[shivammathur]

No, I added support for installing various tools globally via tools input. Please see, so it made sense to refactor pecl installation in that instead of a separate input for it.

I find it strange that you are forcing users to update their config before a deadline. Since github actions are versioned wouldn't it more prudent to simply release a new major version if your script has a breaking change? That way using using v1 wouldn't need to make any change.

[shivammathur]

The change currently is not a breaking one, it is just a warning that some inputs have been deprecated and at this point old inputs will function just like they used to. I added this warning because many projects use master and changing inputs suddenly without warning will be abrupt.

The date mentioned in the warning is around the time I plan to release v2 and remove support for old inputs in that, which will be a breaking change.

[ADmad]

Okay, in that cause a message like The 'pecl' property will be removed in v2 would have made more sense rather than specifying a date IMHO.

[shivammathur]

ok. I will make these more clear in the next release.

Thank you.
