cd into directory prior to Docker step #25877

Coming from GitLab CI/CD, I’m used to having a “before_script” step that CDs into my project’s “WebApplication1Core” folder (the Dockerfile is simply set up that way and I’d prefer not changing it/was having issues when I changed it). How can this be achieved in GitHub Actions? Simply adding a “run” step that did this didn’t work. The progress wasn’t retained and the Docker step was still run from the repository’s root directory. By the time I run into the “pwd” step, the directory is already reset to the root folder. The Docker build step fails because it cannot find the Dockerfile. If I add the full path to the Docker file instead, something else breaks further down the line. |
