is there any way to run tmate using the standard MSYS2 environment set by msys2/setup-msys2@v2?

[hradec]

I running into a difficult situation where my action runs on windows using msys2/setup-msys2@v2, but tmate runs it's own mingw enviroment.

I'm using msys2/setup-msys2@v2 pip to install pywin32, but it's failing during the build. In tmate, when I run pip install pywin32, it finds it and installs correctly.

Is there any way to run tmate using msys2/setup-msys2@v2 environment instead?

Not currently.

You could of course introduce support for a new input, say, msys2-root-directory, which would then be handled at the beginning of the run() function, for example like this:

if (process.platform === "win32") {
  process.env.MSYS2_ROOT = core.getInput("msys2-root-directory") || "C:\\msys64"
}

Then, in the call to the MSYS2 Bash, you would use that environment variable, something like this:

      spawn(`${process.env.MSYS2_ROOT}\\usr\\bin\\bash.exe", ["-lc", cmd], [...]

@hradec do you feel up to the task?

What about the WSL? :)
