@catthehacker commented on GitHub (Mar 11, 2021):

Is that the correct workflow you are using?

This works fine for me

name: 'Test Platform GH Actions'
on: [push]
jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: set up python
        uses: actions/setup-python@v2

You could also try removing act cache, rm -rf ~/.cache/act/

This is the workflow, I just retested it:

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: checkout
      uses: actions/checkout@v2

It looks like it is fine, but it fails my workflow :( I'll try clearing the cache, but I'm running it on a Github runner during CI so it is re-downloading act before every run, so I wouldn't imagine that would be the issue

I cannot remember. What else I can recommend is to prune docker volumes. docker volume prune to remove unused volumes or docker system prune to remove everything what is not used (volumes,containers,images)
I'm also trying out to add tests for MacOS so hopefully I can have some basic testing on that OS.

act version: 0.2.33

<!-- gh-comment-id:1308747475 --> @GabriFedi97 commented on GitHub (Nov 9, 2022): I'm facing the same issue with the action `actions/setup-go@v3`: ``` Error: Unable to process command '[Reusable / DAD_CLI-Build & Push Image/dad cli build & push ] ❓ ##[add-matcher]/run/act/actions/actions-setup-go@v3/matchers.json' successfully. [214](https://github.com/EnterpriseDB/poc/actions/runs/3427890793/jobs/5711443611#step:6:215) Error: Could not find a part of the path '/run/act/actions/actions-setup-go@v3/matchers.json'.`` ``` Has anyone found a workaround to this? `act version: 0.2.33`

@GabriFedi97 commented on GitHub (Nov 10, 2022):

I finally found the reason and a workaround to the issue. I was running act inside a GitHub workflow in order to test another workflow, having a step using actions/setup-go@v3. The action, just like the other setup-* actions, performs a statement to add a problem matcher in its main.ts. In my case, the execution's output of that line was:

##[add-matcher]/run/act/actions/actions-setup-go@v3/matchers.json.

That was interpreted by the GitHub runners as a legit add-matcher instruction, so it proceeded trying to add the problem matcher, relying on the file /run/act/actions/actions-setup-go@v3/matchers.json. However, that file was present only in the container created by act and not on the Host runner, so it ended up throwing the following error:

Error: Could not find a part of the path '/run/act/actions/actions-setup-go@v3/matchers.json'.

Workaround:

According to the Echoing of Command Input documentation of Github runners, the output keywords that could affect the execution of act, inside a workflow, are:

  • remove-matcher
  • add-matcher
  • add-path

So filtering away the lines containing those keywords, from the act output, worked for me:

act [event name to run] [flags] | grep -v "remove-matcher\|add-matcher\|add-path"
