System information

  • Operating System:
  • Architecture:
  • Apple M1: yes
  • Docker version: 20.10.8
  • act version: 0.2.24

Expected behaviour

act runs my test and doesn't fail

Actual behaviour

Act fails because the image used doesn't have pip installed (when it's available in the one used by GitHub workflows)

Workflow and/or repository

on: push
name: project

jobs:
  project-tests:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: Check out repository
      uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - name: Install system requirements
      run: |
        sudo apt-get update -y
        sudo apt-get -y -qq install --no-install-recommends build-essential
    - name: Copy test config
      run: cp .github/workflows/config.json.sample config.json
    - name: Setup dependencies
      run: pip install --no-cache-dir -e .
    - name: Run tests
      run: |
        mkdir -p test-results
        pip install '.[testing]'
        python -m pytest

act output
