I am relying on modules in my project for which I would like to set append a PYTHONPATH.

Working locally I would do it like this and it works.

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/home/<user>/<code>

However, the same approach for Github Actions throws the error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'xxxx'

my_workflow.yml

name: my_workflow
on:

push:

branches:

master

pull_request:

branches:
master

jobs:

build:

runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:


uses: actions/checkout@v2


name: Set up Python 3.8

uses: actions/setup-python@v1

with:

python-version: 3.8


name: Install dependencies

run: |

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

pip install -r requirements.txt


name: set pythonpath

run: |


this does not work.
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/home/runner/work/<repo_name>

name: Test with pytest

run: |

pip install pytest

pytest

pwd returns

/home/runner/work/<repo_name>/<repo_name>

I have tried to to set the PYTHONPATH to both 

.../work/<repo_name>

and the above, with no luck.

Please help!
