Multiple steps in a job

Hello,
I was wondering if it was possible to use the same containers across multiple steps in the same jobs?
Something along the line of:

    - name : Build system (qemu)
      uses: uraimo/run-on-arch-action@v2.5.0
      with:
        arch: ${{ matrix.qemu_arch }}
        distro: ubuntu20.04
        install: |
          echo "Install packages"
          apt-get update && apt-get install -y pkg1 pkg2
        run: |
          echo "System successfully built"

    - name : Build project (qemu)
      uses: uraimo/run-on-arch-action@v2.5.0
      with:
        arch: ${{ matrix.qemu_arch }}
        distro: ubuntu20.04
        run: |
          ... build project...

    - name: functional-tests (qemu)
      uses: uraimo/run-on-arch-action@v2.5.0
      with:
        arch: ${{ matrix.qemu_arch }}
        distro: ubuntu20.04
        run: |
          ...do some tests
      continue-on-error: false
...

The idea is to split the building chain into multiple steps so it's easier to monitor.
It seems that at the moment, each steps is recreating the container at each run...

felfert commented

This should be possible right now, provided the steps exist in the same workflow.
If it does not happen and the images get rebuilt on every run, perhaps your github.token does not have the necessary permission to push the image. After running your workflow, simply look at your project's published "packages". There should be at least one containing the string run-on-arch-action like here. If there are none, then your token does not have these permissions. In that case, in the github GUI, go the Project settings, select Actions->General in the left pane, then scroll down to Workflow permissions and select Read and write permissions there, and hit the Save button.

For possible future releases:

  • With PR #100 applied (perhaps in the future) , the steps need to be in the same job too.
  • With my PR #122 you are completely free when choosing the image tag.

Oh, and looking at your example, you also should have the install: parameter present exactly the same in all invocations. After all, the install step gets saved to the image and if the 2nd and 3rd invocation do not have exactly the same install parameters, this would result in different images.

Krakinou commented

I do have the package in my repo, so this is not the issue

Oh, and looking at your example, you also should have the install: parameter present exactly the same in all invocations. After all, the install step gets saved to the image and if the 2nd and 3rd invocation do not have exactly the same install parameters, this would result in different images.

I will try to add the exact same install parameter and check if it works, thanks for the tip!

uraimo commented

Hi, thanks @felfert, duplicating the install is not necessary and until the workflow, arch and distro are still the same the next steps should pickup the original image created with the install step, if you set and configured correctly the token.

Krakinou commented

Hi,
So I ran a bunch of test and I confirm what @felfert said : install parameter have to be the same accross multiple steps so that the docker image is not reinstalled again.
If I skip the install parameter, the image is rebuilt at each step (which obviously does not work).

felfert commented

Well, I guess that @uraimo is right. Problem is, that you did just post an example and not the real script that you actually use. I believe you use this one. In there, ALL invocations include the parameter githubToken which enables the docker push in every step. This is wrong. If you use that parameter in the Build system step ONLY, then it should work without the duplicated install as well.

Krakinou commented

Yep, you're correct this is the action I'm working on. Sorry for not giving the full script (as it was quite long with a lot of stuff, I did not want to put too many unrelated info).
However, I tried removing the github token parameter and it does not seems to work: I have 2 versions of the same script, one with token+install parameter, and the second one without:
The first script is running correctly, with each step re-using the container as installed (.
The second one is failling on the first step using run-on-arch without install parameter as it does not find git (which was installed in the container).

Or am I missing something obvious?

Krakinou commented

So, I made a lighter script to test. Both github token and install part are required so that the steps reused the cached package:

  • With only the install, the script will rerun the install (as expected)
  • With only the token, it will not reuse the cached packages.

Here is the script:

name: Check run on arch
