Started failing on existing project: could not find supported VCS #17

Closed rpavlik closed 1 year ago

rpavlik commented 1 year ago

I've been using this for a while, but recently I've started seeing "reuse.project - WARNING - could not find supported VCS" at the top of my results, then it completely fails to use the gitignore (as you'd expect). Sample is here: https://github.com/rpavlik/PrettyRegistryXml/runs/7679546043?check_suite_focus=true with commit https://github.com/rpavlik/PrettyRegistryXml/pull/14/commits/142e98771320544f599e2ccd7e0bc23c30399181 (trying to fix it)

if I put the REUSE check before I make any gitignored artifacts, it works once again, but this definitely used to work in the past.

Indeed, the environment does not seem to be a valid Git repo. I cannot access older action logs to compare, but will investigate.

This has been fixed. It was caused by the Git directory being detected as unsafe. The updated action marks it as safe again.
