Unable to simple install dependencies as before

Here is what I trying:

      - name: Install vcpkg packages
        uses: lukka/run-vcpkg@v10
        with:
          runVcpkgInstall: true
          runVcpkgFormatString: '[`install`, `--clean-after-build`, `--x-install-root`, `$[env.VCPKG_INSTALLED_DIR]`, `--triplet`, `$[env.VCPKG_DEFAULT_TRIPLET]`, `tesseract[cpu-independed]`, `ecm`, `qt5-svg`, `qt5-multimedia`, `qt5-winextras`, `qt5-tools`]'
          vcpkgGitCommitId: 5568f110b509a9fd90711978a7cb76bae75bb092

Here is the error I get:

run-vcpkg action execution failed: Cannot run 'install,--clean-after-build,--x-install-root,D:/a/crow-translate/b/vcpkg_installed,--triplet,x64-windows,tesseract[cpu-independed],ecm,qt5-svg,qt5-multimedia,qt5-winextras,qt5-tools' because no valid directory has been provided.

I would expect to have a workflow as with v7.

It looks less meaningful when used to describe the dependencies of an application (i.e. the final consumer).

Even worse, the cache becomes invalid on every version bump. I really don’t understand why name and version exists. I started using latest for the version.

My suggestion is to move the dependencies from the workflow file into a newly created vcpkg.json under source control.

Thanks, will try to migrate. I have a question. Why does my application name and version have to be duplicated in vcpkg.json? I have already specified this in CMakeLists.txt. How does vcpkg use it?

This is indeed something I have not a good answer nor a strong opinion. The name and version fields should be required when the vcpkg.json is describing the dependencies of a package, i.e. it is describing the attributes of a package. It looks less meaningful when used to describe the dependencies of an application (i.e. the final consumer).
