What happened

Ran the actions-ecosystem/action-push-tag@v1 Github Action unsuccessfully:

...
"/var/run/docker.sock":"/var/run/docker.sock" -v "/home/runner/work/_temp/_github_home":"/github/home" -v "/home/runner/work/_temp/_github_workflow":"/github/workflow" -v "/home/runner/work/_temp/_runner_file_commands":"/github/file_commands" -v "/home/runner/work/.../...":"/github/workspace" ...

What you expected to happen

Successfully pushed tags.

How to reproduce it

I think if you run a workflow with the action-push-tag action this will happen.

Yeah it was working before the linked issue. There is some chance it's unrelated, or indirectly related. Not exactly sure what the solution should be.

A workaround is to directly use the code in https://github.com/actions-ecosystem/action-push-tag/blob/main/entrypoint.sh using run (instead of using uses).

Something like:

      - name: Tag
        run: |
          tag=${{ steps.bump-semver.outputs.new_version }}
          message='${{ steps.bump-semver.outputs.new_version }}: PR #${{ github.event.pull_request.number }} ${{ github.event.pull_request.title }}'
          git config user.name "${GITHUB_ACTOR}"
          git config user.email "${GITHUB_ACTOR}@users.noreply.github.com"
          git tag -a "${tag}" -m "${message}"
          git push origin "${tag}"

Could you please put a not on top of the docs that this action is currently broken? There are now quite a few people that seems to have spent time trying this out even though it's broken. Thanks!

I run into this right after I moved this action call to separate composite action.

I tried running pwd and ls -la in entrypoint.sh to try to find out which directory it ends up in, and I don't see that output in the GH action. Any ideas on how to debug what dir this action ends up in after checkout?

@micnncim - any help here would be great! Seems this has been broken since April of last year.

Since it seems that they're not maintaining actions ecosystem actions -- I published a working fork of this with added features.
