Error: description doesn't accept 4-byte Unicode (e.g: a emoji like 🐛)

[LeipeLeon]

When a commit has a emoji the push fails: description doesn't accept 4-byte Unicode

My guess would be that octokit does not handle emoji in the description e.g: await octokit.rest.repos.createCommitStatus({})

Configuration:

      - if: always()
        uses: ouzi-dev/commit-status-updater@v2
        with:
          name: CI Rails
          status: "${{ job.status }}"
          url: "${{ github.server_url }}/${{ github.repository }}/actions/runs/${{ github.run_id }}"
          description: "${{ env.COMMIT_SHORT_SHA }} - ${{ env.COMMIT_MESSAGE }}"

Error transcript:

Workaround

Doesn't actually fix it but it won't hold up the action: add continue-on-error: true to the script:

      - if: always()
        uses: ouzi-dev/commit-status-updater@v2
        continue-on-error: true
