Describe issue

GitHub generates this reasonably helpful error:

/home/runner/work/shiny-octo-couscous/shiny-octo-couscous/./action.yml (Line: 4, Col: 5): There's not enough info to determine what you meant. Add one of these properties: run, shell, uses, with, working-directory

I'm not at all certain why it thinks working-directory is a particularly reasonable suggestion (it really needs to suggest run+shell or uses, but...)
(Along with a very unhelpful technical error.)

Act generates this message:

Error: Error occurred running finally: missing steps in composite action (original error: )

the word finally here is unhelpful (I believe it's an implementation detail from go or act), but for this action, the correct thing to say is that the step is missing fields (not that the action is missing steps), and preferably which kinds of fields (which the GitHub error more or less does).

Add one of these properties: run, shell, uses, with, working-directory I'm not at all certain why it thinks `working-directory` is a particularly reasonable suggestion (it really needs to suggest `run`+`shell` or `uses`, but...) (Along with a very unhelpful technical error.) Act generates this message: > Error: Error occurred running finally: missing steps in composite action (original error: <nil>) the word `finally` here is unhelpful (I believe it's an implementation detail from go or act), but for this action, the correct thing to say is that the step is missing fields (not that the action is missing steps), and preferably which kinds of fields (which the GitHub error more or less does). ### Link to GitHub repository https://github.com/check-spelling-sandbox/shiny-octo-couscous ### Workflow content ```yml on: push: jobs: test: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v4 - uses: ./ ``` ### Relevant log output ```sh ...

@ChristopherHX commented on GitHub (Nov 4, 2024):

Thank you for your bug report, I really messed it up and this accidentally passes the schema validation

github.com/nektos/act@9bd99e5d7c/pkg/schema/schema.go (L72)

I have no code that checks for required properties of a mapping.

This case is detected, because that is no valid subset of a step

- run:
  uses:

Your case is part of a valid set of properties.
