Command used with act

act -j BuildPackage

Describe issue

I'm trying to run a github action to build a package in my repo. This process requests some Rust tools, so I'm using the actions-rs/toolchain@v1 with Github Actions.

This works on Github, but when I run this locally, I get this error:
error: rustup is not installed at '/root/.cargo'

I'll paste full logs in the log output section. Not too sure what is going on here.

It just worked, sorry. I remember I tried everything on ubuntu like installing the toolchain manualy in the docker container with exec (which was stupid), but I just couldn't get it to work
I just found this idk if that can help you:

I have the same issue, I tried to use the rust image but the rust used by the actions after actions-rs/toolchain@v1 do not use the one installed via this action but rather the one from the image. For example crate-ci/typos@master requires rust at least 1.60.0 but complain of only finding 1.58.0 even though I explicitly ask the toolchain action to use 1.60.0 (same with stable).

@Elendol commented on GitHub (Sep 10, 2022): I have the same issue, I tried to use the rust image but the rust used by the actions after `actions-rs/toolchain@v1` do not use the one installed via this action but rather the one from the image. For example `crate-ci/typos@master` requires rust at least 1.60.0 but complain of only finding 1.58.0 even though I explicitly ask the toolchain action to use 1.60.0 (same with stable). ``` [Spelling/Spell Check with Typos] 💬 ::debug::using toolchain from input: 1.60.0 | [command]/usr/share/rust/.cargo/bin/rustup show | Default host: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu | rustup home: /usr/share/rust/.rustup | | stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (default) | rustc 1.53.0 (53cb7b09b 2021-06-17) | [command]/usr/share/rust/.cargo/bin/rustup toolchain install 1.60.0 | info: syncing channel updates for '1.60.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu' | info: latest update on 2022-04-07, rust version 1.60.0 (7737e0b5c 2022-04-04) | info: downloading component 'cargo' | info: downloading component 'rust-std' | info: downloading component 'rustc' | info: installing component 'cargo' | info: installing component 'rust-std' | info: installing component 'rustc' | | 1.60.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu installed - rustc 1.60.0 (7737e0b5c 2022-04-04) | | info: checking for self-updates | info: downloading self-update [Spelling/Spell Check with Typos] ❓ ::group::Gathering installed versions | [command]/usr/share/rust/.cargo/bin/rustc -V | rustc 1.53.0 (53cb7b09b 2021-06-17) [Spelling/Spell Check with Typos] ⚙ ::set-output:: rustc=1.53.0 (53cb7b09b 2021-06-17) [Spelling/Spell Check with Typos] ⚙ ::set-output:: rustc_hash=53cb7b09b | [command]/usr/share/rust/.cargo/bin/cargo -V | cargo 1.53.0 (4369396ce 2021-04-27) [Spelling/Spell Check with Typos] ⚙ ::set-output:: cargo=1.53.0 (4369396ce 2021-04-27) | [command]/usr/share/rust/.cargo/bin/rustup -V | rustup 1.25.1 (bb60b1e89 2022-07-12) | info: This is the version for the rustup toolchain manager, not the rustc compiler. | info: The currently active `rustc` version is `rustc 1.53.0 (53cb7b09b 2021-06-17)` (...)

I saw rust-bitcoin having an act setup but didn't have time to look at it yet (in case somebody wants to investigate how they do it)

I think the issue here is basically that ubuntu-latest has rustup installed in Github, but not available when running in act

So if you have something like run: rustup toolchain install stable --profile minimal (or any action that's basically doing that under the hood) it errors in act but works in Github.
