I have a situation where I have several workflows in my repository using the same event workflow_call: and I would like to have the capability to select the workflow I want to execute. Is ACT capable of that? from what I saw of the help menu it is only possible to select he job

Hello,

How can I pass a ECDSA key to act so that I can use it?
It keeps returning invalid format even if I put a ECDSA in my secrets file in a single line

@ChristopherHX I wonder if this is another bug, related to passing secrets down multiple nested levels somehow? https://gist.github.com/alexharv074/72f0b9ceb657430cfd3cd95fd63aa350

Hi all 👋

My name is Jorge Martínez. I'm an Ansys employee working on a Python library generator named ansys-templates.

This tool generates Python projects which include a Python library, configuration for code style tools and a GitHub Actions YML file. For testing this last file, we are using act. This means, we are executing act in our main CI tomake sure that baked actions file works properly.

However, I see the following output from GH logs:

Error: Unable to process command '[GitHub CI/Code style          ]   ❓  ##[add-matcher]/run/act/actions/actions-setup-python@v2/.github/python.json' successfully.
Error: Could not find a part of the path '/run/act/actions/actions-setup-python@v2/.github/python.json'.
time="2022-04-11T09:29:14Z" level=warning msg="unable to get git repo: section \"remote \\\"origin\\\"\" does not exist"
[GitHub CI/Code style          ]   ✅  Success - Set up Python

Even though those errors are being raise, the "Success - Set up Pyhton" is shown and act works as expected. However, the errors are captured by GitHub which labels the job as failed one.

More information from the logs: https://github.com/pyansys/ansys-templates/actions/runs/2147571852

I am installing act using brew and imposing the following config:

echo "-P ubuntu-latest=ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest" >> ~/.actrc

I've tried with other images but the same error appears on the logs. May you please provide me with some insight about this error?

Thanks for developing and maintaining act! It is really useful and simple to use 🚀

Hi there ! I was trying to make a job "not execute on my local" but also "execute always on github". I tried ${{ !env.ACT }} && always() however it seems to be not working. I guess it has something to do with how always() works.

Hi, I've been trying to use secrets from my.secrets file but it is giving me the following issue:
here is a GitHub actions snippet:

  - name: deploy

          port: ${{ secrets.PORT }}

my.secret file format:

secrets.HOST=test@test.com
secrets.USERNAME=test
secrets.PASSWORD=test@test
secrets.PORT=111

Error i am getting:

Hey all, new to the channel. Im sure it's been asked before so if you have resources to direct me to I would appreciate it. Any idea if reusable workloads is a thing in ACT. If it's not is anyone familiar on some workarounds to be able to test reusable workloads locally? Thanks.

Hey all, I installed act in my ubuntu 18.04 using following command:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nektos/act/master/install.sh | sudo bash

and then stored it in /usr/bin/act file by following command

sudo ln -sfv ./bin/act /usr/bin/act

and then i run following command:

act -C drc-setup/ --secret-file drc-setup/my.secrets

but it gives me following error:

Hello! I'm using DockerInDocker and facing the same issue described nektos/act#410. In my case it would suffice to mount the host's /tmp into act's container /tmp and then use this directory to exchange files between containers. The issue above suggests using --bind and then the workspace dir to exchange files, but I wonder if there is a way to pass an "extra" mount binding list to act's container.

I'm using Github Enterprise and it's having issues downloading actions.

act   push --github-instance github.threatfoo.com --actor sandcastle-build --secret-file ~/.actions-secrets -W .github/workflows/sandcastle-go-focal.yml

I have a PAT in the secrets file for the sandcastle-build account.

jobs:
  prep:
    runs-on: [ubuntu-20.04]
    env:
      GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SANDCASTLE_TOKEN }}

That sets the PAT to be the token. (Also tried GT defined as the PAT in the secrets file as well, same behavior).

Access to our repo, installing Go modules all work. But downloading actions from our GHE server fails auth.

      - name: Install go
        uses: actions/setup-go@v2
        with:
          go-version: 1.12.8

Running with debugging turned own didn't present any more info.

Using the PAT, I'm able to check out all the Actions from the GHE repo on the command line (even tried it inside the docker container and it worked).

hi Everyone :)
I'm using act to execute a GHA job locally, everything goes well the first time, I detected a syntax error, but when I try to change the .yml file and execute the job again, my changes aren't reflected

anyone knows if act has cache or something similar?

NOTE: act sees the changes after I reboot the machine :/

So, https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/1112#issuecomment-1090399267 works as a workaround, does someone offhand understand why the workaround is needed?

Is it specifically limited to actions/checkout because of special handling act has for it?

Hi. Is there a known issue with testcontainers-java running in act?
I keep getting

The project is a Kotlin-Ktor application using Gradle. It works fine on github proper...

Hi everybody, pretty new in using act, and most likely what I am experiencing is a docker/macos issue more than act itself, but asking here in case anybody has experienced the same. In a github action running locally I have a go install ./... command and when downloading the various golang modules it throws an error about missing certificates, here is an example, but a lot more modules throw the same:

cmd/validator/main.go:16:2: github.com/xeipuuv/gojsonschema@v1.2.0: Get "https://proxy.golang.org/github.com/xeipuuv/gojsonschema/@v/v1.2.0.zip": x509: certificate signed by unknown authority

Hi, there, i am trying to use act with my custom docker.sock path, how to config that in .actrc? i tried all the combination i can think of, but none worked. the documentation is not clear to me how to config it and googling does not give answer either
things i tried:
--container-daemon-socket /mnt/wsl/shared-docker/docker.sock
-b --container-daemon-socket /mnt/wsl/shared-docker/docker.sock
-b --container-daemon-socket=/mnt/wsl/shared-docker/docker.sock
-b socket=/mnt/wsl/shared-docker/docker.sock
socket=/mnt/wsl/shared-docker/docker.sock

Hi. My act -l isn't working.. Actually none of the commands are.
It finds the workflows (as per verbose debug info) But then just goes to 'planning event' and then does nothing.

❯ act -l -v
