DOCKER_HOST environment variable is unset/empty.

You need to install docker on your machine

Many thanks for the response @KnisterPeter.
But the docker was installed, see my docker info bellow

Also, I am able to run the latexmk command (used in the step) directly from "docker run"

$ docker run ghcr.io/xu-cheng/texlive-full latexmk

Also, You can see in the log below that act-cli start normally and even runs the immediately previous step uses: actions/checkout@v3.

Do you have another suggestion?

[KnisterPeter]

I don't know the action. Could have plenty of reasons. Sorry.
But I'll reopen the issue, maybe someone else has a suggestion

[KnisterPeter]

M assumption is, that latexmk is not in the PATH inside the docker container.

[alanlivio]

Many thanks again @KnisterPeter.

M assumption is, that latexmk is not in the PATH inside the docker container.

I think this is not the case because the following command works.
$ docker run ghcr.io/xu-cheng/texlive-full latexmk

Is there a way to me better debug the error with act-cli?

[KnisterPeter]

This docker run ghcr.io/xu-cheng/texlive-full latexmk is different from what is happening in your action I think.

[gh-pages.yml/gh-pages] 🐳 docker run image=ghcr.io/xu-cheng/texlive-full:latest platform= entrypoint=["/bin/bash"] cmd=["-eo" "pipefail" "-c" "latexmk -shell-escape -cd -pdf ./latex/cv.tex"]
| /bin/bash: line 1: latexmk: command not found

Looks like it should be more like docker run --entrypoint /bin/bash ghcr.io/xu-cheng/texlive-full:latest -eo pipefail -c 'latexmk -shell-escape -cd -pdf ./latex/cv.tex'

[alanlivio]

Thanks again @KnisterPeter.
Your suggestion run the latexmk indeed, but, although being in the right folder, latexmk said that the subdir does not exist. For me, It seems docker does not mount the current folder/repo as act-cli does.

docker run --entrypoint /bin/bash ghcr.io/xu-cheng/texlive-full:latest -eo pipefail -c 'latexmk -shell-escape -cd -pdf ./latex/cv.tex'
Rc files read:
  NONE
Latexmk: This is Latexmk, John Collins, 17 Mar. 2022. Version 4.77, version: 4.77.
Latexmk: Changing directory to './latex/'
Latexmk: Error in changing directory to './latex'.  I must stop
latexmk: Can't change directory to './latex'
   A directory of the same name does not exist.

I also open the bash in the container and it has the latexmk in the PATH

$ docker run -it ghcr.io/xu-cheng/texlive-full:latest bash
bash-5.1# latexmk
Rc files read:
  NONE
Latexmk: This is Latexmk, John Collins, 17 Mar. 2022. Version 4.77, version: 4.77.

/opt/texlive/texdir/bin/x86_64-linuxmusl:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

Issue is stale and will be closed in 14 days unless there is new activity

[alanlivio]

Hi, again @KnisterPeter. Did you say that My assumption is, that latexmk is not in the PATH inside the docker container.
But I checked above that the container, and it has the latexmk in the PATH.
Can I set the path during the docker run --entrypoint /bin/bash call?

[KnisterPeter]

@alanlivio I think thats not possible. But you can for sure change the docker container and update it to your needs.

[alanlivio]

Many thanks, @KnisterPeter.

But you can for sure change the docker container and update it to your needs.

I think is not the case to change it. Because, as I show up, the docker already has the latexmk in the PATH. My may point in trying docker run is to enable work in your nektos tool.
Do you have another suggestion on how to enable nektos work with this ghcr.io/xu-cheng/texlive-full docker

Debug act, then find and fix the bug. I believe something in act's path handling is different compared to actions/runner, act reads /etc/environment while it shouldn't do that.

I might pick this up, once my PR queue is empty

[ChristopherHX]

I think act doesn't respect this line:
ENV PATH="/opt/texlive/texdir/bin/x86_64-linuxmusl:${PATH}"
I'm not shure if act once did it correctly, if so there was no test case.

[ChristopherHX]

Something in act still defines the PATH variable..., if this is also fixed this action should work.

[ChristopherHX]

I made a patch with a test, the new linked PR should fix the problem you were facing. You can try an artifact of it under checks / workflow summary

I tried enter in the image and tried to find the latexmk but it is not at /opt as mentioned by ChristopherHX here. See below.

$ docker exec -it act-gh-pages-yml-gh-pages bash
root@docker-desktop:/mnt/c/Users/alan/src/alanlivio.github.io# latexmk
bash: latexmk: command not found

hostedtoolcache

Any other suggestions? Thank you in advance.

Also thanks @Moelf for indicate the similar issue.

[ChristopherHX]

@alanlivio The change is not released yet.

It has a test case, which fails with the current 0.2.42 release.

[ChristopherHX]

I tried enter in the image and tried to find the latexmk but it is not at /opt as mentioned by ChristopherHX here. See below.

The /opt folder of docker actions is obviously not the same as /opt of the job container.

Therefore my change uses the PATH defined by the docker action and not by the job container, as long you don't override it in your workflow file.

[alanlivio]

Many thanks for you reply @ChristopherHX. I will wait for the next release to try again. 😊

[alanlivio]

Thanks @ChristopherHX, I checked 0.2.44 and it worked.

[virzak]

I'm having an issue with xu-cheng/latex-action@v3. It calls docker internally and there seems to be an issue with a entrypoint.sh mapping. Does anyone else has the same issue?
