Thanks for the awesome tool!

I'm running into issues while using actions/setup-python. I did test it with the recommended image nektos/act-environments-ubuntu:18.04.

My workflow:

name: CI

on: [push]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - uses: actions/setup-python
      with:
        python-version: '3.7'
    - name: Install dependencies
      run: pip install -r requirements/test.txt
    - name: Style check
      run: make lint
    - name: Run tests
      run: make test

Error log:

Never mind that. using actions/setup-python@v1 instead, did resolve it.

For others running into this and still having trouble with v1, I found this comment fixed it for me (using v2):

      - run: |
          # Hack to get setup-python to work on act
          if [ ! -f "/etc/lsb-release" ] ; then
            echo "DISTRIB_RELEASE=18.04" > /etc/lsb-release
          fi
