v1.6.0 Creates warnings when doing azure/login from a composite action.

[JasonRSeequent]

When calling azure/login@v1.6.0 from a composite action, the following warning is generated:

Warning: `pre` execution is not supported for local action from './.github/actions/deploy-infrastructure '

Example workflow block:

      - name: Deploy Infrastructure
        uses: ./.github/actions/deploy-infrastructure
        with:
          azure_credentials: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CREDENTIALS }}

Example action.yaml file:

name: "Deploy Infrastructure"

inputs:
  azure_credentials:
    description: "Azure service principle credentials"
    required: true

runs:
  using: "composite"
  steps:
    - name: Azure login
      uses: azure/login@v1
      with:
        creds: ${{ inputs.azure_credentials}}

Hi @JasonRSeequent, pre and post steps have not been supported in composite actions yet. This is a highly requested feature, let's track it in https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/1478.

Hi @MoChilia, You are correct that pre and post steps are not currently supported in composite actions, based on the issue you linked, it doesn't look like they will be any time soon. If azure/login@v1 is supported in composite actions, then surely there should be a workaround to avoid having these warnings appear? The other workaround is to pin version v1.5.1, which isn't ideal.

@JasonRSeequent, it's a warning message and won't disrupt break your workflow, right? We'll explore ways to enhance this process, but it may not be of high priority. Thank you for your understanding.

FYI - I end up moving this task to my workflow.
