I want to run a docker action that I created in my own repository (the same as the workflow), its path, relative to the repository root would be /.github/actions/automatic-tests. I also have a Dockerfile in the root of the repository, which I use to create a docker image that runs the tests in my rails app.
In the documentation it is said that "To reference a Dockerfile local to your repository, use a path relative to the root of the repository" and the example would be:
image: 'Dockerfile'
However, it seems that, when running the action, the Dockerfile is searched in the actions folder, not in the root of the repository. The error is as follows:
/home/runner/work/_actions/raquelhortab/hello_world_github_actions/master/.github/actions/automatic-tests/Dockerfile: no such file or directory
I cannot put the Dockerfile inside the actions folder as I need to COPY the whole app. The workaround would be to use git to clone the repo but I think this should not be the solution when working in the exact same repository...
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong or what I should do to make it work?
Thanks!
