Command used with act

act workflow_dispatch -j get-micropython-doc-stubs

Describe issue

act reports errors getting the git ref and git revision,
and hangs on the associated cleanup tasks at the end of the job(s)

the used git module appears to be assuming thet the gist refs are in a simple format , and do not process the '.git/packed-refs'

When repository histories start getting really long, having hundreds of tags starts to slow things down, so git pack-refs will put them all in the packed-refs file.

@Josverl commented on GitHub (Oct 1, 2022):

it may be better to use it show-ref refs/heads/<branch> ,
or to enhance the algorithm in func FindGitRevision to

  • read and parse '.git/packed-refs'
  • before looking for individual .git/refs/heads/<branch>/HEAD files

Facing the same problem here.

@Josverl were you able to find a solution?

No, not really
The only dirty workaround is to create a copy of the repo without packed refs and then trying to keep that up to date
