Hi, I have two projects with pretty much the same action and workflow configurations but their workflow is not the same.

One of them works as expected. It checks out master, and then runs the workflow. The container is built inside “Test” and the entrypoint is run there too:

In the other one, the docker container is first built, then it performs a checkout that overwrites some changes that were made in the dockerfile and then tries to run the containter entrypoint. The container is built previous to the checkout, and not in “Test”. The entrypoint is run in “Test” but fails because it expects some changes in files that were done in the dockerfile but are overwritten by the checkout:

As you can see, the workflows are not the same. However, the config files are the following:

The correct one:

# .github/actions/automatic-tests/action.yml
name: 'Hello World'
description: 'Run tests'
runs:
  using: 'docker'
  image: '../../../Dockerfile'

# .github/workflows/main.yml
name: CI
on:

push:

branches:

- master
jobs:

build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@master
  name: Checkout
- uses: ./.github/actions/automatic-tests
  name: Test

The problematic one:

# .github/actions/test_on_master_push/action.yml
name: 'Run tests'
description: 'Run tests for rails app in a docker container'
runs:
  using: 'docker'
  image: '../../../Dockerfile'

#.github/workflows/main.yml
name: CI
on:

push:

branches:

- master
jobs:

build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@master
    name: Checkout
  - uses: some_user_name/app/.github/actions/test_on_master_push@master
    name: Test

I really can’t figure out what is making it behave differently and haven’t found any other post mentioning this…
