[BUG] Fails in Self-Hosted Runner

[martindevnow]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Does this issue exist in the latest version?

• I'm using the latest release

Describe the bug?

A simple job, on a self-hosted runner (Linux) fails, with the following error:

Run tj-actions/changed-files@v19
Run # "Set base sha..."
Run # "Calculating the previous and current SHA..."
changed-files-diff-sha
  Resolving repository path...
  Setting up 'temp_changed_files' remote...
  No 'temp_changed_files' remote found
  Creating 'temp_changed_files' remote...
  fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

To Reproduce

Create a simple job:

name: 'Test Check Files Changed Action'

on:
  push:
    branches: [my-feature-branch]

jobs:
  check_base_image_changed:
    name: Check Files Changed
    runs-on: [self-hosted]
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0 # OR "2" -> To retrieve the preceding commit.

      - name: Get Changed Files
        id: changed-files
        uses: tj-actions/changed-files@v19
        with:
          files: |
            Dockerfile
            package*.json

Use a self-hosted runner

Push a change to the branch

See the error

What OS are you seeing the problem on?

ubuntu-latest or ubuntu-20.04, ubuntu-18.04

Expected behavior?

I expect the job to be successful, and for me to be able to inspect the outputs of this step

@martindevnow Can you also include the logs from the checkout action as this seems like there was an error cloning the repository.

Here are the logs from the Checkout step:

@martindevnow From the error it’s clear the the repository isn’t located in the working directory.

I’ll suggest you create a test repository using a minimal setup to reproduce this error since the line where the error occurs simply sets up a custom remote name.

Giving that this error is more of an implementation discrepancy as opposed to a real bug. I’ll close this issue with the intent of reopening it if there’s a public repository that can reproduce the error.

Also note that the fetch-depth in the checkout action should be an integer as opposed to a URL.
