Error while downloading action from github

Actions
1

I’m trying to use the action gradle/actions/setup-gradle@v4 in my workflow. The “Set up job” phase clones the actions, but timeouts after ~10 minutes on the gradle action. The other 3 actions are fine. Nothing relevant in the firewall logs.

The action is used exactly like in the GH docs: actions/setup-gradle/README.md at main · gradle/actions · GitHub

Some runs end in a timeout after ~10min, other result in a quick error:

Checked out v4
  ☁  git clone 'https://github.com/gradle/actions' # ref=v4
  cloning https://github.com/gradle/actions to /root/.cache/act/824f6acaca7cd5e83324994e0faf8dd3030eeb2d610ef0f5c93a95c93a535f04
Unable to resolve v4: unsupported object type
Unable to resolve v4: unsupported object type
unsupported object type

Accessing the URLs manually works flawlessly.

Any tips on how to debug that? Regards

To answer my own question: There seems to be a problem with the v4 version tag. Using v3 works. I created an issue for act to ask for help. Cloning of gradle/actions/setup-gradle@v4 fails · Issue #5862 · nektos/act · GitHub

btw being able to run workflows locally is a huge timesaver while debugging. Much appreciated.
