Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/298

When trying to use basic implementation of super-linter, action fails due to missing command. I tried various workarounds and I did try the solution mentioned in the pinned issue.

[lint/LINT TESTING]   🐳  docker pull github/super-linter:v2.2.0
DEBU[0002] Image exists? true
[lint/LINT TESTING]   🐳  docker create image=github/super-linter:v2.2.0 entrypoint=[] cmd=[]
DEBU[0002] Error response from daemon: No command specified

To repoduce

#lint.yml
name: superlinter
on: [push]
jobs:
  lint:
    name: Lint Code Base
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout Code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Lint Code Base
        uses: docker://github/super-linter:v2.2.0
        env:
          VALIDATE_ALL_CODEBASE: true

act -j lint -P ubuntu-latest=nektos/act-environments-ubuntu:18.04

All my implementations have a lint job using super-linter that is a prerequisite [needs: lint] to jobs such as test and so this is a huge blocker for local testing of actions.

A workaround that I found to help is specifying entrypoint explicitly in the workflow file (same as in super-linter's Docker image):

      - name: Lint Code Base
        uses: docker://github/super-linter:v3
        with:
          entrypoint: /action/lib/linter.sh
        env:
          # VALIDATE_ALL_CODEBASE: false
          DEFAULT_BRANCH: master
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
