Compatibility with Gitea Act Runner

[alex3305]

Hi Frenck 👋,

I've been trying to get this action working with Gitea Act Runner but it seems like something is off when running it on Act runner. I suspect it is the volume mount based on pwd here:

action-home-assistant/action.yaml

Line 114 in 7ef7214

-v $(pwd):/github/workspace \

which seems to work on GitHub Actions, but not on Gitea. As I get the following error (snippet):

[...]

However as you can see, Act Runner checks out in /workspace/homeassistant/config which is the same as $GITHUB_WORKSPACE. However on GitHub Actions this just works™ 🤷 . I've looked into setting the path on the Action itself, but that's only a relative path to $GITHUB_WORKSPACE. So I guess this is useless.

So in general I was wondering what your stance is on compatibility with Gitea runner? I assume that it isn't a part of your stack and you don't want to invest any time in it. But would you be open for PR's regarding this?

Thanks ❤️

I am also experiencing this issue. I was going crazy until I found your issue, so thank you for that.

Have you had any luck with a workaround?

@liquidthex I had the same thing until I opened this issue 😜. I've created my personal, private fork on my Gitea Forgejo instance which has been chugging away for about half a year now 🙂. The main issue is that volume mounting doesn't work as expected in act compatible runners. This is outlined in gitea/act_runner#189 and can easily be fixed with:
