Command used with act

act -s GITHUB_TOKEN="$(gh auth token)" --secret-file ./github_action_test.secrets -j lint -P self-hosted=catthehacker/ubuntu:act-20.04

Describe issue

I'm using act version 0.2.67, I have a workflow that uses a private Github Enterprise server to host my custom GHA actions, e.g. https://git.my-org.com/myteam/gha-setup-node. The problem is when I run the command it looks at the public https://github.com instead of my private Github enterprise server https://git.my-org.com. Why does that happen? And how can we fix it? I'm also not sure why it says the "Job succeeded" then subsequently reports the error due to the repo not being found. Help is appreciated

@kingrichard2005 commented on GitHub (Sep 18, 2024):

For anyone else with the same issue, I tested out some more and turns out I had to update my .actrc file to add --github-instance git.my-org.com.

What threw me off was that this was not an issue with older versions of act and was the first time I'd encountered this specific issue so I didn't consider that missing config in my .actrc to be the issue, but hopefully this helps anyone else who runs into this same configuration issue. Here is a snippet of the output from rerunning after making this update
