Seeing the same problem with Java 17. @just-dev-creator Have you found a solution?

Hi @tholu,
no, sadly not. In my case, I went ahead and debugged my GitHub actions in a seperate branch on GitHub (the way I did it before using act).
I'm sorry that I don't have better news for you at this point.

Hi, I had a similar issue with Python. Check the permissions on the /opt/hostedtoolcache/Java_Adopt_jdk/ directory (in my case, the /opt/hostedtoolcache/Python/ directory), for me, owner:group was root:root. The workaround I applied was to chown this folder to runner:runneradmin. This served as a workaround as this directory and it's permissions are retained between container instances (/opt/hostedtoolcache/ mounts to a directory in docker-desktop-data.)

I ran into this issue too, trying to upgrade from Java 17 to Java 21. The issue is related to the use of the Docker volume named act-toolcache, which act used to store download tools. My cache had Java 11 and Java 17, and had been around for several months. You can inspect what is in it via:

docker run -v act-toolcache:/opt/hostedtoolcache -it --rm catthehacker/ubuntu:runner-latest bash

$ ls -l /opt/hostedtoolcache/

I resolved this issue by deleting the act-toolcache volume (to allow it to be recreated fresh using latest images):

docker volume rm act-toolcache

This will fail if any act containers are hanging around, so you will need to delete those first.

As to the root cause? My guess is something changed in one of the tool dependencies for downloading and having an old volume was confusing it.
