Description
Description:
The python-version-file parameter currently only functions correctly with relative paths.
Action version:
v4.0.0
Platform:
- Ubuntu
- macOS
- Windows
Runner type:
- Hosted
- Self-hosted
Tools version:
All
Repro steps:
See ScribeMD/slack-templates@e653014 and its accompanying workflow run for a reproduction.
-
Create a composite action.
-
Create a
.python-versionfile containing3.10.4. -
Call the setup-python action using an absolute path for the
python-version-file:- name: Set up Python based on .python-version file. uses: actions/[email protected] with: python-version-file: "${{ github.action_path }}/.python-version"
Expected behavior:
I expected Python 3.10.4 to be set up.
Actual behavior:
The setup-python action crashes with:
Error: The specified python version file at: /home/runner/work/<action_name>/<action_name>/home/runner/work/<action_name>/<action_name>/.python-version does not exist

Hi @Kurt-von-Laven we will take a look at this.

@Kurt-von-Laven, as I see you have a typo:
"{{ github.action_path }}/.python-version"->"${{ github.action_path }}/.python-version"It works as expected:

Thank you for pointing this out, but the typo was only in my filing of the issue, not the reproduction itself. The particular path I am using is only defined for composite actions, so maybe it’s the empty string otherwise?
