@thatdoogieguy commented on GitHub (May 1, 2020):

I was having a similar problem, especially when i was trying to combine rails caching with postgresql and redis. In the end i created a seperate workflow file called ci-local.yml based off of the production Github Actions file i had created and manually defined the services by calling apt-get then service %service_name% start.

Massive PITA but for localised testing this was the only way i could thoroughly test the functional parts of GitHub Actions where multiple parts are as yet unsupported.

Not a fix, just a hacky workaround to get myself out of trouble!

@jadhavmanoj workaround is to use docker-compose

Hello, any update on this?

My code:

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    services:
      mongodb:
        image: mongo:4.0
        ports:
          - 27017/tcp
# ...etc

In the env section of my job I have: MONGO_URI_TESTS: localhost:${{ job.services.mongodb.ports[27017] }}/dbtest

The error: ERRO[0082] Unable to interpolate string 'localhost:${{ job.services.mongodb.ports[27017] }}/dbtest' - [TypeError: Cannot access member 'ports' of undefined]

Thank you!

@thatdoogieguy Could you provide a snippet of the step you wrote tha install & start postgresql ?
I have a feeling that is a simple one but since you have experience about it let's ensure there is no nasty corner case :)

Edit: I thought this was a bug, but in fact support for services aren't implemented yet in act, so for those shouting BUMP please consider contributing instead if you can! 🙌

@Systho A small reproduction is:

Create .github/workflows/repro.yml

name: "Reproduction"

on:
  push:

jobs:
  repro:
    name: Reproduction of failing Services interpolation
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    services:
      postgres:
        image: postgres:12
        env:
          POSTGRES_USER: runner
          POSTGRES_PASSWORD: mysecretdbpass
          POSTGRES_DB: mydb
        options: >-
          --health-cmd pg_isready
          --health-interval 10s
          --health-timeout 5s
          --health-retries 5
        ports:
          - 5432:5432
    steps:
      - name: Echo the Postgres service ID / Network / Ports
        run: |
          echo "id: ${{ job.services.postgres.id }}"
          echo "network: ${{ job.services.postgres.network }}"
          echo "ports: ${{ job.services.postgres.ports }}"

Run act "push" --job "repro"

The bot closing issues after 14 days is pretty aggressive. :/

Services were drafted in https://github.com/nektos/act/pull/638 but author stopped responding, it works but it also breaks easily thus it wasn't merged

I added the following steps to my workflow in order to get the actions for my Rails app running locally:

# Install local deps if this action is being run locally

  if: ${{ env.ACT }}

    npm i -g yarn

It would be great if the readme mentioned that services isn't supported.

thanks for providing this workaround. but installing everything every time is quite annoying, is any way to make act connect host service? e.g make act connect PostgreSQL that runs in the host.

You can probably use host.docker.internal on osx.

Getting this working would be AMAZING - our company heavily uses GitHub actions and act (mostly for debugging - makes it a breeze), but getting services running locally would dramatically cut our build times (as they could be done locally) and make debugging complex actions possible.

Yea it is annoying, but connecting to host will likely restrict you to only 1 runner. Probably makes more sense to have database as part of the image, but I'm still researching how that can be done, i.e. where are they pulling unbuntu-latest from
