Doesn't seem to work anymore since github is not showling live logs

CloseChoice commented 12 months ago

This was a fantastic resource, but github somehow changed the way they log stuff and since I cannot see any logs of the currently running step I cannot access the server.

Is there a workaround for this?

Okay, one can use the detached mode in combination with a long sleep command as a kind of a replacement for the previous behaviour. This is how I use it currently:

jobs:
  run-e2e-tests-prod:
    timeout-minutes: 60
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - <some_steps>
      - name: Setup tmate session
        uses: mxschmitt/action-tmate@v3
        with:
          detached: true
      - name: sleep forever
        run: |
          sleep 3600

Of course this is a poor replacement, since previously I could exit the session and immediatly check if my changes achieved the desired result, here I have to wait for the sleep command to finish (but one could probably build a loop where an environment variable is checked that we could set in the tmate session, but I leave this to somebody else)
