Any updates on this? Act looks kinda cool but it seems it is not working :/

[ennioVisco]

Thanks to https://github.com/nektos/act/discussions/1165#discussioncomment-2772110 , we have a workaround:

docker login --username your_username_here
docker pull node:16-buster-slim

Then act should work :)

[NavidBecause]

any updates on this?

I tried this but sadly it didn't work for me

[Omarabdul3ziz]

what i noticed is it is not hanging it is just taking some time to download the image, the image size is about image=catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest is about 1.2GB

i noticed this when i tried to pull the image will docker cli

docker pull image=catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest

and after it finished, act worked fine

[RS185734]

@codeninja How does the workload_identity_provider work in act locally?

i got below

[GCP Deploy Infrastructure/infra-deploy]   
❗  ::error::google-github-actions/auth failed with: retry function failed after 4 attempts: 
gitHub Actions did not inject $ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_TOKEN or $ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_URL into this job. 
This most likely means the GitHub Actions workflow permissions are incorrect, or this job is being run from a fork. For more information,

I am still facing the same issues.

If I run act -P ubuntu-latest=nektos/act-environments-ubuntu:18.04 -W .github/workflows/ It is stuck at docker pull image=nektos/act-environments-ubuntu:18.04 platform= username= forcePull=false

If I run act -W .github/workflows/ It is stuck at docker pull image=catthehacker/ubuntu:full-latest platform= username= forcePull=true

[varun-hopstack]

Any updates or fixes to this?

[ChristopherHX]

Using act -v has a bit too much docker pull progress logging and that is older than this issue.

e.g. the current issue template suggests an act cli command with -v as well, while this issue doesn't mentioned verbose mode anywhere.

Not on my backlog, I'm labeling as confirmed not planned

[varun-hopstack]

@ChristopherHX - yeah, noticed the same. Any workaround to this?
