Command used with act

act -W .github/workflows/call-workflow.yaml --rm -P self-hosted=localhost:9283/runner:latest -P ubuntu:22.04=localhost:9283/runner:latest -P ubuntu:20.04=localhost:9283/runner:latest -P ubuntu:18.04=localhost:9283/runner:latest -P ubuntu-latest=localhost:9283/runner:latest --artifact-server-path ./uploads

Describe issue

What I'm trying to do in the reusable workflow is call-workflow-2-in-local-repo. It seems that nektos wrongly tries to find the reusable workflow's subworkflow yaml at the wrong path, resulting in a Error: stat /home/user/src/TestCallingReusableWorkflow/.github/workflows/do-more-stuff.yaml: no such file or directory

I created 2 repositories with simple workflows to replicate this issue, refer to or checkout the following 2 repositories to reproduce the issue:

Originally created by @wildsheepz on GitHub (Jun 21, 2023). Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/1875 ### Bug report info ```plain text act version: 0.2.46 GOOS: linux GOARCH: amd64 NumCPU: 8 Docker host: DOCKER_HOST environment variable is not set Sockets found: /var/run/docker.sock Config files: Build info: Go version: go1.18.10 Module path: github.com/nektos/act Main version: (devel) Main path: github.com/nektos/act Main checksum: Build settings: -compiler: gc -ldflags: -s -w -X main.version=0.2.46 -X main.commit=b0d0cec71f2240fc629dcaa1889ed8c4ad52beb9 -X main.date=2023-06-01T02:39:24Z -X main.builtBy=goreleaser CGO_ENABLED: 0 GOARCH: amd64 GOOS: linux GOAMD64: v1 vcs: git vcs.revision: b0d0cec71f2240fc629dcaa1889ed8c4ad52beb9 vcs.time: 2023-06-01T02:39:05Z vcs.modified: false Docker Engine: Engine version: 24.0.2 Engine runtime: runc Cgroup version: 2 Cgroup driver: systemd Storage driver: overlay2 Registry URI: https://index.docker.io/v1/ OS: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS OS type: linux OS version: 20.04 OS arch: x86_64 OS kernel: 5.15.89+ OS CPU: 8 OS memory: 31138 MB Security options: name=apparmor name=seccomp,profile=builtin name=cgroupns ``` ### Command used with act ```sh act -W .github/workflows/call-workflow.yaml --rm -P self-hosted=localhost:9283/runner:latest -P ubuntu:22.04=localhost:9283/runner:latest -P ubuntu:20.04=localhost:9283/runner:latest -P ubuntu:18.04=localhost:9283/runner:latest -P ubuntu-latest=localhost:9283/runner:latest --artifact-server-path ./uploads ``` ### Describe issue What I'm trying to do in the reusable workflow is [call-workflow-2-in-local-repo](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/reusing-workflows#calling-a-reusable-workflow). It seems that nektos wrongly tries to find the reusable workflow's subworkflow yaml at the wrong path, resulting in a `Error: stat /home/user/src/TestCallingReusableWorkflow/.github/workflows/do-more-stuff.yaml: no such file or directory` I created 2 repositories with simple workflows to replicate this issue, refer to or checkout the following 2 repositories to reproduce the issue: - https://github.com/wildsheepz/TestReusableWorkflow - https://github.com/wildsheepz/TestCallingReusableWorkflow ### Link to GitHub repository https://github.com/wildsheepz/TestCallingReusableWorkflow ### Workflow content ```yml name: Call Reusable Workflow on: workflow_dispatch: jobs: call-reusable-workflow: uses:

@daniel-habib commented on GitHub (Oct 1, 2023):

@wildsheepz : the workaround i found was to keep the reusable workflow locally and the point to that e.g.
replace your

    uses: wildsheepz/TestReusableWorkflow/.github/workflows/main.yaml@main

with

    uses: ./../TestReusableWorkflow/.github/workflows/main.yaml

did you find any thing more elegant than that?

Same issue: It's looking for the reusable workflows in the calling repo, instead of in the local-repository.

# .actrc content
--local-repository repo/of/workflows@branchname=/Users/casconem/github/repo/of/workflows

# calling repo's workflow
uses: calling/repo/.github/workflows/master-pipeline.yml@branchname

# cli command in calling/repo
act -W .github/workflows/calling-workflow.yml 

# act output
[job] LocalRepositoryCache matched https://github.com/repo/of/workflows with ref branchname to /Users/casconem/github/repo/of/workflows

My existing backlog has hard times to get merged, I am going to reopen this issue. No promise for anything.

BTW the stale bot has been chased away, not that I ever added one any of my own projects.

I took a shot at resolving this issue in https://github.com/nektos/act/pull/5888. It worked both in the project I was encountering the issue in and in the original posts example.
