Command used with act

act -W '.github/workflows/build.yml'

Describe issue

The matrix configuration appears to be inconsistent with the documentation provided by Github here. Expected only 6 configurations, yet Act runs 7. The matrix configuration '{color: green}' should not exist according to the Github documentation.

@jaraco commented on GitHub (May 10, 2024):

I believe I've also encountered a related issue when working on pypa/setuptools#4310, whose config has a distutils factor in the matrix config that is only set on one include. However, when I run this configuration with act --job test --matrix python:3.10 --matrix platform:ubuntu-latest --matrix distutils:stdlib, I get two jobs, one for distutils:stdlib and another for distutils being unset:

[tests/test-1] 🧪  Matrix: map[platform:ubuntu-latest python:3.10]
[tests/test-2] 🧪  Matrix: map[distutils:stdlib platform:ubuntu-latest python:3.10]

Best I can tell, it's not possible to run just the job for distutils:stdlib due to this bug.

I was able to temporarily work around the issue by making the distutils factor explicit in the matrix for the matching value:

<!-- gh-comment-id:2105011307 --> @jaraco commented on GitHub (May 10, 2024): I believe I've also encountered a related issue when working on pypa/setuptools#4310, whose config has a `distutils` factor in the matrix config that is [only set on one include](https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/blob/bfb117a8c86dd95f3c237863ed7ac6cd330116fe/.github/workflows/main.yml#L61-L63). However, when I run this configuration with `act --job test --matrix python:3.10 --matrix platform:ubuntu-latest --matrix distutils:stdlib`, I get two jobs, one for `distutils:stdlib` and another for `distutils` being unset: ``` [tests/test-1] 🧪 Matrix: map[platform:ubuntu-latest python:3.10] [tests/test-2] 🧪 Matrix: map[distutils:stdlib platform:ubuntu-latest python:3.10] ``` Best I can tell, it's not possible to run just the job for `distutils:stdlib` due to this bug. `act version 0.2.62` <details> ``` act version: 0.2.62 GOOS: darwin GOARCH: arm64 NumCPU: 12 Docker host: DOCKER_HOST environment variable is not set Sockets found: /var/run/docker.sock $HOME/.docker/run/docker.sock Config files: /Users/jaraco/Library/Application Support/act/actrc: -P ubuntu-latest=catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest -P ubuntu-22.04=catthehacker/ubuntu:act-22.04 -P ubuntu-20.04=catthehacker/ubuntu:act-20.04 -P ubuntu-18.04=catthehacker/ubuntu:act-18.04 Build info: Go version: go1.22.2 Module path: command-line-arguments Main version: Main path: Main checksum: Build settings: -buildmode: exe -compiler: gc -ldflags: -X main.version=0.2.62 DefaultGODEBUG: httplaxcontentlength=1,httpmuxgo121=1,tls10server=1,tlsrsakex=1,tlsunsafeekm=1 CGO_ENABLED: 1 CGO_CFLAGS: CGO_CPPFLAGS: CGO_CXXFLAGS: CGO_LDFLAGS: GOARCH: arm64 GOOS: darwin Docker Engine: Engine version: 26.0.0 Engine runtime: runc Cgroup version: 2 Cgroup driver: cgroupfs Storage driver: overlay2 Registry URI: https://index.docker.io/v1/ OS: Docker Desktop OS type: linux OS version: OS arch: aarch64 OS kernel: 6.6.22-linuxkit OS CPU: 12 OS memory: 7840 MB Security options: name=seccomp,profile=unconfined name=cgroupns ``` </details> I was able to temporarily work around the issue by making the `distutils` factor explicit in the matrix for the matching value: ```diff setuptools feature/pep-621 @ git diff diff --git a/.github/workflows/main.yml b/.github/workflows/main.yml index ec2e567a1..903c7060c 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/main.yml +++ b/.github/workflows/main.yml @@ -53,6 +53,7 @@ jobs: platform: ubuntu-latest - python: "3.10" platform: ubuntu-latest + distutils: local - python: "3.11" platform: ubuntu-latest - python: pypy3.10 ```

Please re-open, the issue presumably still exists.
