I have already tried going into root mode before. But it is still not working.

Please see the config from /etc/sudoers file.

I was able to bypass the issue.
I am a novice in Ubuntu. So I have no idea what you want me to do with
"Please see the config from /etc/sudoers file." instruction.
I saw the file. And then???

Up on this matter, I have the same issue when I connect as a service account (aboten) on which all is configured (sudo + ssh - deploy keys) and then try to switch to another account :

======CMD======
echo "Switch user"
whoami
sudo su moutini
whoami
pwd
echo "Activate env"
conda activate ciara_venv

And get this as output:

======END======
out: aboten
err: bash: line 10: conda: command not found
out: aboten
out: /home/aboten
2024/01/05 14:17:22 Process exited with status 127

I stay as the current user aboten instead of switching to user moutini

Solution founds: launch command as sudo and pipe your instructions on the fly

 sudo su - -c "whoami && echo 'hello world' && touch toto.txt

Returns as planned:

out: root
out: hello world

Open your /etc/sudoers config and add the following config

deploy ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/whoami

update script

- name: executing ubuntu instance using ssh
  uses: appleboy/ssh-action@v1.0.3
  with:
    host: ${{secrets.HOST_IP}}
    username: ubuntu
    key: ${{secrets.SSH_KEY}}
    port: 22
    request_pty: true
    script:  |
      sudo whoami

see the example:

ssh-action/.github/workflows/ci.yml

Lines 274 to 284 in 9b978f0

with:
host: ${{ secrets.HOST }}
username: ${{ secrets.USERNAME }}
key: ${{ secrets.KEY }}
port: ${{ secrets.PORT }}
script_stop: true
request_pty: true
command_timeout: 30s
script: |
whoami && echo 'hello world' && touch todo.txt
sudo whoami
