Config file and output file are not found

[beeb]

Trying to use the action with self-hosted runners running in docker. I am not sure if this issue is related to having to use "docker in docker". I know for instance that when using cross-rs in my self-hosted runners I need to enable a flag for docker in docker.

Note that the only step before this one is using actions/checkout@v3 with defaults.

I also tried to configure the checkout action to checkout the main branch (to get the latest commit that triggered the workflow) and fetch-depth: 0 like in the readme but it didn't make a difference.

[beeb]

Please also note that building from source in CI (with cargo install) and running the command without docker works fine. It's only the container version that fails like above.

[orhun]

Weird, how can I reproduce this? Also, did you get this error for the recently released version (2.0.6) or was it always there?

[beeb]

The reproduce, you can try the following. Spin up a self-hosted runner with this docker command:

docker run -it --name my-runner \
    -e RUNNER_NAME=my-runner \
    -e GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_PAT_token \
    -e RUNNER_REPOSITORY_URL=https://github.com/... \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    tcardonne/github-runner:ubuntu-20.04

More info at https://github.com/tcardonne/docker-github-runner

Then you can start a workflow in that repository you linked in the command above, using the git-cliff action. You should see the error like me. To use the self-hosted runner, make sure you put runs-on: [self-hosted, linux]

I just started using git-cliff so I have no prior experience with older versions.

[beeb]

Later today or tomorrow I will try to switch to https://github.com/myoung34/docker-github-actions-runner to see if it makes a difference.

[beeb]

Same story with the other self-hosted runner, I think it should be reproducible if you try running either of those containers and run the action on them.

[orhun]

Hey again, sorry for the late reply. I recently released the new version of git-cliff and updated this action accordingly. Is this still an issue?

[beeb]

Hey @orhun thanks for getting back to this issue. I don't have access to a self-hosted runner anymore since I switched jobs. If I get the chance I'll try to spin up one and set up one of my repos to use it, but it might be a while until I can

[orhun]

Okay, just let me know!

[dark0dave]

@orhun I updated to v2.2.0 from v2.0.0 and that fixed the issue. It looks like v2.0.0 is gone or something:

Thank you for git-cliff btw. Its great.

[orhun]

Hmm interesting. I'm glad it is fixed though 🐻
