• Last known period: 60 days

For example, if GitHub repository has workflow scripts and was inactive a period of time, then all workflow scripts does disable. You have to either make a commit to update the period and reenable the workflow scripts manually.

What does Composite Run Steps Not Support

We don't support setting conditionals, continue-on-error, timeout-minutes, "uses", and secrets on individual steps within a composite action right now.

(Note: we do support these attributes being set in workflows for a step that uses a composite run steps action)

Variants:

• You have had try to run not Cygwin executable from the Cygwin shell. The Cygwin does not convert a posix path into the Windows path automatically.

  To workaround the error do use the TEMP_DIR variable to declare explicit temporary directory out of Cygwin /tmp directory.

Variants:

• You have had try to run yq from https://github.com/mikefarah/yq.

  Related issue:

  • yq fails to process files in /tmp : mikefarah/yq#1299

  To workaround the error do use the TEMP_DIR variable to declare explicit temporary directory out of Cygwin /tmp directory.

Only a single annotation gets created in composite actions. Every single annotation (error, warning, notice) with the exception of the last one gets ignored

• add conditional execution of action steps: actions/runner#834

  • https://github.blog/changelog/2021-11-09-github-actions-conditional-execution-of-steps-in-actions/

    Actions written in YAML, also known as composite actions, now support if conditionals.

• Add ability to use continue-on-error from composite Action steps: actions/runner#1457

• unable to inject shell to composite action: actions/runner#835

• Boolean inputs are not actually booleans : actions/runner#1483

• Annotations from composite actions are not correctly created : actions/runner#1742
