"Committer identity unknown" error on v1.6.0

[alyssaruth]

The v1.6.0 release of this action has broken for us with an error about user config. We've pinned to v1.5.1 for the time being as a workaround. It's a private repo, but happy to share any other details that would be useful.

We're using self-hosted runners for our pipeline - not sure if that's relevant but the auto-detected email address ('runner@ks-1cpu-1gi-v56-bxd79-bh2nj.(none)) is the user and name of the pod running the job.

Our config is:

- name: Create tag
  uses: EndBug/latest-tag@v1.5.1
  with:
    ref: '${{ needs.prepare.outputs.VERSION }}'
    description: '${{ needs.prepare.outputs.VERSION }}'

v1.5.1 output (working):

Committer identity unknown

*** Please tell me who you are.

Run

  git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
  git config --global user.name "Your Name"

to set your account's default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.

fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got 'runner@ks-1cpu-1gi-v56-bxd79-bh2nj.(none)')

Hi, thanks for reporting this
I actually encountered this as well the first time i tested the action (on GitHub-hosted runners!), but wasn't able to reproduce it :/

I'm going to release a patch that adds some debug logs, since as of now there's much debug info to work with. I'm gonna get back to you soon with this ✌🏻

[EndBug]

Alright, it should be fixed now 🚀 (v1.6.1, v1, latest)
Thanks for the report 💖
