Summary export permission denied

[edno]

When passing the flag --summary-export results.json then an error is raised:

level=error msg="failed to create summary export file" error="open results.json: permission denied"

The result is that no summary file is created.

Example of step:

uses: k6io/action@v0.1
with:
  filename: scenarios/${{ github.event.inputs.scenario }}.js
  flags: --summary-export ${{ github.event.inputs.scenario }}.results.json

The expected result is that the flag works like on a local environment, and the result.json file is created and can further be exported using actions/download-artifact@v2

uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
with:
  name: ${{ github.event.inputs.scenario }}.results.json
  path: ${{ github.event.inputs.scenario }}.results.json

A possible root cause is that the k6 docker image set the USER in the Dockerfile, what is not recommended as per Github Action documentation.

Hey,

Thank you for your report! I'll have a look at this. Contrary to GitHub's own recommendation, it's generally a bad practice to run anything in docker as root. I'll get back to you once I have more details.

Best,

Happy New Year @simskij

Any update on this issue?

If you have any suggestion for a workaround, I'll be happy to give it a try.

Hi @edno,

This should be fixed as of v0.2.0, which I just released.

Best,

Confirmed. It works as expected 😃
