Terraform init does not respect its working directory

[JamesWoolfenden]

I'm trying to set up a basic work flow for a module and so i'm using terraform init and validate. (Following the example for working dir in your subdir).

  examples:
    name: 'Terraform (examples)'
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: 'Checkout'
        uses: actions/checkout@master
      - name: 'Terraform Init'
        uses: hashicorp/terraform-github-actions@master
        with:
          tf_actions_version: 0.12.13
          tf_actions_subcommand: 'init'
          tf_actions_working_dir: 'example'
      - name: 'Terraform Validate'
        uses: hashicorp/terraform-github-actions@master
        with:
          tf_actions_version: 0.12.13
          tf_actions_subcommand: 'validate'
          tf_actions_working_dir: 'example'

I need to target the template example folder in the root, where i have a provider and module. The init does nto repsect the working dir

Terraform initialized in an empty directory!

The directory has no Terraform configuration files. You may begin working
with Terraform immediately by creating Terraform configuration files.

So the directory isn't empty, i know this because the validate step fails because it does find the module and provider

Error: Module not installed

  on module.action.tf line 1:
   1: module action {

This module is not yet installed. Run "terraform init" to install all modules
required by this configuration.

Any ideas what happening?

Should be fixed in #111 which is released as v0.6.1.

Confirmed it now does as it says on the tin. Thanks
