Detected Git repository, but failed because of dubious ownership

[jeriox]

Starting recently, the action (v1.17) fails with the above error message.

[JRubics]

Can you please try to run your pipeline with specifying the version of the action to v1.16 so I can be sure it's introduced in the latest version?

[jacobtomlinson]

I ran into this same problem. Downgrading to v1.16 fixed it.

• 1.17 https://github.com/kr8s-org/kr8s/actions/runs/5237395737/jobs/9455547632
• 1.16 https://github.com/kr8s-org/kr8s/actions/runs/5237417885/jobs/9455581686

Hi, please check this issue: https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/6775 and it's solution.

It can be that either underlying image of the Docker container I use or ubuntu-latest runner image are updated to the problematic version. Though, I manage to run the version 1.17 on the github runner ubuntu-latest today without any issue: https://github.com/JRubics/test-poetry-publish/actions/runs/5266622455/jobs/9520782502

Please try to rerun your workflow, and send me the results. If it doesn't solve the ubuntu-latest issue, I'll try upgrading/downgrading Docker image I use. It's just strange that I can't reproduce the issue, that's why I think it depends on the ubuntu version.

Thanks for looking into this! I just reran the workflow (that uses ubuntu-latest) and it failed again: https://github.com/ephios-dev/ephios/actions/runs/5112100572/jobs/9522533965

Hi, I still can't reproduce the issue, so I assume it's not up to the image used in the action, but up to the image used for the GitHub runner you are using. Most likely we are in the different geographic locations so we are assigned to the different runners with different version installed. I'd suggest to try using a container for running your actions: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-jobs/running-jobs-in-a-container

Please share the results if you try it :slightly_smiling_face:

I ran it inside a python:3.11 container and it fails with the same error message. (https://github.com/ephios-dev/ephios/actions/runs/5580150899/jobs/10196670200)

Ran into the same issue as @jeriox here: https://github.com/iiasa/ixmp4/actions/runs/5819950650/job/15779337504. Reverting to v1.16 fixed it.

[BjornFJohansson]

Same problem for me, Reverting to v1.16 fixed it.

Got the same error today with v1.17: https://github.com/DurgNomis-drol/mytoyota/actions/runs/7430456596/job/20220172358

Re-run with debug enabled: https://github.com/DurgNomis-drol/mytoyota/actions/runs/7430456596/job/20220373402

Probably it is caused by this?

I just downgraded the GitHub Action to 1.16 and it also works again.

Guys, when you have time, please try with version 2.0. I still can't reproduce the issue, so your help on testing this will be appreciated :pray:

[jeriox]

Still fails with 2.0 https://github.com/ephios-dev/ephios/actions/runs/7802018763/job/21278474436

I tried v2.0. I could upload my package, but the error message is still there:
