.actrc ignores command substitution #2161

Open phoolish opened 9 months ago

phoolish commented 9 months ago

Act version

0.2.57

Feature description

The README.md documentation recommends using act -s GITHUB_TOKEN="$(gh auth token)" for setting your github token during runs, but adding the argument to your .actrc ignores the command substitution and results in $GITHUB_TOKEN being set to "$(gh auth token)".

It would be helpful if .actrc properly evaluated the commands, but I understand if that is a large undertaking and is better left to a wrapper script.

This would also allow for other commands like using Bitwarden-cli or something similar to fetch secrets.

I ran into the same issue and was confused until I found out that I basically have to create an alias for act which includes the act -s GITHUB_TOKEN="$(gh auth token)" stuff.

That makes it at least a bit easier to work with and not have to include it every time I use act.

I hope the .actrc can be improved like that? Or maybe some command we can set in .actrc that automatically does the gh auth token in the background?
