System information

  • Operating System: Windows 10
  • Architecture: x64 (64-bit)
  • Apple M1: no
  • Docker version: 20.10.6
  • act version: 0.2.23

Expected behavior

Running act, with no parameters, should run all tasks without accessing a non-existent file path that results from the truncation of a path that contains spaces.

Actual behavior

act fails to quote file paths when sending commands to docker. This results in a file path that contains spaces (which is common on Windows computers) being truncated by the command line. Docker then attempts to use the truncated path, resulting in an error that causes workflows to fail.

Workflow and/or repository

I made a test repository that replicates the problem.

Steps to reproduce

From scratch:

  1. Create a directory that contains a space in the name, such as "Hello World". 
    $ # Linux or MacOS
$ mkdir "Hello World"

    > # Windows Powershell or CMD
> md "Hello World"
  2. Under that directory, create a .github/workflows directory. 
    $ # Linux or MacOS
$ cd "Hello World"
$ mkdir -p .github/workflows

    > # Windows Powershell or CMD
> cd "Hello World"
> md .github\workflows
  3. In .github\workflows, create a workflow file that contains the following: 
    name: Test
on: push

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - run: sudo apt-get update
  4. Run act with no arguments.

From repo:

  1. Clone the reproduction repository.
  2. Move into the Hello World directory and run act with no arguments.

act output
