I have set up two organizations: one for actual repositories and one called “actions” for mirroring and hosting actions. Every repo in both organizations is private by default.
The following workflow is throwing a authentication required for an action that is also mirrored:
name: Run Formatting Checks
on: [push]
jobs:
test:
runs-on: docker
container:
image: tld.com...devimage:latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
with:
submodules: true
- uses: cpp-linter/cpp-linter-action@v2
id: linter
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
with:
version: 18
style: 'file' # Use .clang-format config file
tidy-checks: '' # Use .clang-tidy config file
# only 'update' a single comment in a pull request's thread.
thread-comments: ${{ github.event_name == 'pull_request' && 'update' }}
- name: Fail fast?!
if: steps.linter.outputs.checks-failed > 0
run: exit 1
The checkout step runs fine:
Cloned https://tld.com/actions/checkout to /data/.cache/act/actions-checkout@v4
Checked out v4
The cpp-linter seems to run into an authentication error by calling setup-python action that is also mirrored on the local gitea instance:
run pre step for 'cpp-linter/cpp-linter-action@v2'
☁ git clone 'https://tld.com/actions/setup-python' # ref=v5
cloning https://tld.com/actions/setup-python to /data/.cache/act/actions-setup-python@v5
Unable to clone https://tld.com/actions/setup-python refs/heads/v5: authentication required
authentication required
I don’t really know what to pass so the nested action is cloned successfully. Do you have any hints for me?
