Doesn't work on custom containers ubuntu18:04

Does this work on another configuration? Also, can you try with an older release?

Thank you for your reply.
What do you mean by "other configuration"? I'll try with an older release.

I've tried with 1.0.1 but same issue.

Can you share your workflow file and the full log as well? Also, can you tell me more about this custom container setup?

Thank you for the reply.

Unfortunately I can't disclose the rest of the workflow file, but I made a test repository here: https://github.com/emiliencartesoft/test-apt-cache/actions

As you can see the full logs are here: https://github.com/emiliencartesoft/test-apt-cache/actions/runs/3581373128/jobs/6024358104

Found the issue, in https://github.com/awalsh128/cache-apt-pkgs-action/blob/master/action.yml ${{ github.action_path }} doesn't point to the correct path in a custom container. See actions/runner#716

Changing from ${{ github.action_path }} to ${GITHUB_ACTION_PATH} solves the issue.

Nice find. I updated the dev branch with the workaround so you can use that as @dev. From the history I am not confident they will commit the fix soon (although it looks close to resolution). I may just issue a patch for this. Thoughts?

Well it works with the example packages (ca-certificates build-essential) and when sudo curl wget are installed too.

I did test with other packages like python3-pip awscli but that didn't work for some unknown reasons: https://github.com/emiliencartesoft/test-apt-cache/actions/runs/3581841036/jobs/6025366907

Anyway with the commit 343fbfd it works in custom containers, at least when sudo curl wget packages are installed.

Sorry for the lag here.

RE: Action path - Looks like this was mentioned before.
RE: Container specific - There was a mention where the container needed to be run as priveleged

Let me know if the situation changes make the container option modification.

Well for me the changes in the commit 343fbfd should be merged into the master branch because it fixes the issue with custom containers.

[awalsh128]

I agree. I am going to put in that change as well and issue a patch tonight. I meant the container specific one but I think I misunderstood and this solved it completely for you.

[awalsh128]

Issued a patch update in v1.2.1. Let me know how it works and I will rev up the tag aliases for general use (i.e. latest).

[awalsh128]

Going to assume this worked and close out this issue since it has been awhile.
