"fatal: not in a git directory" after several successful runs

[jmlemetayer]

The actions were working correctly, and during the last run the error "fatal : not in a git directory" appeared.

The faulty run:
https://github.com/jmlemetayer/project-release/actions/runs/3699984553/jobs/6267948063

The last modification of the workflow was the update of the "actions/checkout" to v3.2.0 (done by the github-actions-version-updater):
jmlemetayer/project-release@a0a4dfd

We are also facing same issue. @saadmk11 Can you please help us?

@GopikaV24 Can you please share your workflow file content?

[GopikaV24]

Please refer this,

name: GitHub Actions Version Updater

# Controls when the action will run.
on: workflow_dispatch

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
        with:
          # [Required] Access token with `workflow` scope.
          token: ${{ secrets.WORKFLOW_SECRET }}

      - name: Run GitHub Actions Version Updater
        uses: saadmk11/github-actions-version-updater@v0.7.0
        with:
          # [Required] Access token with `workflow` scope.
          token: ${{ secrets.WORKFLOW_SECRET }}
          extra_workflow_locations: "./workflows"

[saadmk11]

Please check if running this command before running GitHub Actions Version Updater works for you

git config --global --add safe.directory "$GITHUB_WORKSPACE"

- uses: actions/checkout@v3
  with:
    # [Required] Access token with `workflow` scope.
    token: ${{ secrets.WORKFLOW_SECRET }}

- run: git config --global --add safe.directory "$GITHUB_WORKSPACE"

- name: Run GitHub Actions Version Updater
  uses: saadmk11/github-actions-version-updater@v0.7.0
  with:
    # [Required] Access token with `workflow` scope.
    token: ${{ secrets.WORKFLOW_SECRET }}
    extra_workflow_locations: "./workflows"

Same issue again.

[jmlemetayer]

Failed for me too:
https://github.com/jmlemetayer/project-release/actions/runs/3712216512/jobs/6293507743#step:5:33

[jmlemetayer]

I have tried to revert the "actions/checkout" to v3.1.0: jmlemetayer/project-release@350fddd

But it still failing: https://github.com/jmlemetayer/project-release/actions/runs/3713459678/jobs/6296129467

[saadmk11]

I have added a PR for this here: #50

@jmlemetayer @GopikaV24 Please check if this solves the issue for you.

Use:

uses: saadmk11/github-actions-version-updater@safe-dir

Now its working fine using uses: saadmk11/github-actions-version-updater@safe-dir @saadmk11. Thanks

[jmlemetayer]

@saadmk11 Can you make a branch with both #50 and #40 as a final test ?
