Error when building from source

[pjmartorell]

I have the following error when building from source:

> make build
?   	github.com/nektos/act	[no test files]
?   	github.com/nektos/act/cmd	[no test files]
ok  	github.com/nektos/act/pkg/common	(cached)	coverage: 44.6% of statements

go run -mod=vendor main.go -ra build
Error: unknown shorthand flag: 'a' in -a
exit status 1
make: *** [Makefile:24: build] Error 1

Am I missing something?

Just ran in the same issue.
I ran go build and installed locally (I have ~/bin in my path).
seems to work.

Hope it helps.

Thanks, I finally did the same.

What finally worked for me was

alias act='/path/to/act/binary -P ubuntu-latest=nektos/act-environments-ubuntu:18.04

in my .zshrc.

in my case I compiled main.go, renamed it to act, chown root:root and moved it to /usr/local/bin, which is in my PATH
