docker container action and it couldn't find java
Hi! I've got an issue with a running a local action. I've got a local Dockerfile, so in my workflow I've got uses: ./, which causes act to generate an invalid tag for Docker build command (i.e. act-:latest):
docker build -t act-:latest --platform /Users/...Is there any workaround for this?

Turns out that the ~/.actrc / ./.actrc needs to be one parameter per line.
-P self-hosted=ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:act-20.04
-P dev=ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:act-20.04Maybe I'm confusing the issues I had with the container: param?
So here's a summary of the issues I've encountered.
- Using the
containerparameter will override whatever is in theruns-on - Docker-based actions aren't working - eg
java not foundon JVM image.
Error: Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:380: starting container process caused: exec: "java": executable file not found in $PATH: unknownIs there some way to enable these features on Act?

Is it possible to run node14 in act? I can only see node12 images. When running some yarn cli ive got following error

act and so far I've tried a few things. I got to the point where RUNNER_WORKSPACE is raised as an undefined variable since my action includes it in an entrypoint.sh, and I was searching for the meaning of that variable and came up somewhat empty on understanding.
-b for bind mode instead of copy, else I get Permission Denied creating the "bin" dir. I tried changing the script entrypoint.sh to just don't call RUNNER_WORKSPACE anymore, and it didn't seem to have any effect.

unbound variable error as well. If in my action.yml file I've got an input defined with a default value (e.g. called min_score), should there be an environment variable INPUT_MIN_SCORE that is set to this default value available in entrypoint.sh file? Because I'm getting unbound variable errors in this case. I'm not sure if it's how GH actions work or if it's a bug in act itself.

I'm using act 0.2.24 and it appears not to copy the repo. Here is a simple workflow that reproduces this:
name: "Test that local file exists"
on:
push:
jobs:
setup_state_calibration:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Make sure requirements.txt exists
run: ls requirements.txtThis gives an error ls: cannot access 'requirements.txt': No such file or directory. I found a similar thread that suggested using act -P ubuntu-latest=shivammathur/node:latest but this produced the same result. I can add a with statement to the check to get the full repo and then this works. However, I'm making local changes so I really want to use my local repo. Any suggestions or workarounds?

Hi!
I can't get azure/login@v1 using service principal (https://github.com/Azure/login#configure-a-service-principal-with-a-secret)
to work locally. When I create the secret in GitHub it works fine:
{ "clientId": "6e...","clientSecret": "TC...", "subscriptionId": "bc...", "tenantId": "a3..." }
When running locally I tested to set the environment variable, both in shell and in file:
SP_CREDS={ "clientId": "6e...","clientSecret": "TC...", "subscriptionId": "bc...", "tenantId": "a3..." }
Then referencing it:
- name: Login to Azure
uses: azure/login@v1
with:
creds: ${{ secrets.SP_CREDS }}
I've tried escaping the quotes, and even trying to put the entire JSON blob directly in the action, but it doesn't work:
[Test/Test] 🐳 docker exec cmd=[node /var/run/act/actions/azure-login@v1/lib/main.js] user=
[Test/Test] Exec command '[node /var/run/act/actions/azure-login@v1/lib/main.js]'

Hi!
First of all, thanks for the tool. It is very significant and helpful!
I'm working on trying to create a "local test environment" for Github actions.
These actions invoke a nodejs script that makes some API requests to Github. Is there the possibility to mock this interaction? If yes, how can I reach this goal? Thanks for the help!

Hi! Thanks for this extremely useful tool. I'm currently trying to work out how to locally simulate a deployment step - my Actions file creates several folders of documentation and then uploads them to GitHub Pages. When testing locally I'd like to have these in a local folder so I can look through them, but I can't work out how to get act to do this. In particular, at the end of a successful job, act removes the docker container and volume (see issue here: nektos/act#921).
Does anyone have any idea how I can either 1) get act to keep the docker container alive or 2) mount an external volume into the act job that I can copy files into as part of the run itself?

Hi,
How to simulate the event ${{ github.event.workflow_run.conclusion == 'success' }} ?
I have a workflow like this:
name: build stuff
on:
workflow_run:
workflows: ["construct-build-container"]
types: [completed]
jobs:
on-success:
if: ${{ github.event.workflow_run.conclusion == 'success' }}
runs-on: [self-hosted, kubernetes, docker]
container: ubuntu:20.04
steps:
- run: echo ${{ github.event.workflow_run.conclusion }}
- run: |
echo yo!I'm running it with act workflow_run -e workflow_scripts/build_completed.json
json:
{
"check_run": {
"conclusion": "success",
"check_suite": {
"conclusion": "success"
}
}
}But still get an error:ERRO[0000] Unable to interpolate string 'echo ${{ github.event.workflow_run.conclusion }}' - [TypeError: Cannot access member 'conclusion' of undefined]
