there is a space after ruby. we ideally should ignore those imo

If that is exactly the syntax you used, then It might be a syntax error. The following works:

      - uses: msys2/setup-msys2@v2
        with:
          update: true
          install: >-
              mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
              base-devel
              git
              p7zip
              ruby
              mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5
              mingw-w64-i686-qt5
              mingw-w64-i686-toolchain
              mingw-w64-i686-qwt-qt5
              mingw-w64-x86_64-zlib
              mingw-w64-i686-zlib
              zlib-devel
              mingw-w64-x86_64-openssl
              mingw-w64-i686-openssl
              openssl-devel

Which produces:

not really it's after copy/paste (that's why I don't like languages with indentations :) )

Exactly, that's it, thank you! I screwed up with this one space after ruby
