Actions in this workflow must be: within a repository owned by #26609
-
|
I’ve tried changing the Actions settings in one of my repositories, to “Allow local actions only”. However, an action I have on it, which is scheduled to run daily, failed with the error: “actions/checkout@master, actions/setup-python@master, actions/checkout@master, actions/setup-python@master, and docker/login-action@v1 are not allowed to be used in David-Lor/Docker-Python-Git-App. Actions in this workflow must be: within a repository owned by David-Lor” (links to workflow file and failed run). From what I understand reading the description of the setting (“Only actions defined in a repository within David-Lor can be used.”), the action should still be running, since it’s in my own repository. |

Only the workflow is defined in your repository. The actions listed in the error messages are owned by the actions and docker organizations. You can see that by the part in front of the first slash, e.g. |

Oh I see! it makes sense. The naming can be confusing sometimes 😅 |

What then is the remedy? If the repository is owned by me, but docker and actions aren't? Does it mean I cannot use checkout, setup, and cache? |

The reasonable thing would be to allow those actions in the repository settings (under Actions), instead of allowing only actions that belong to your account. Alternatively you can fork the actions' repositories into your account and use them from there, but then you'll have to maintain the forks forever – and most likely by just pulling upstream changes. 😁 |

I am not sure I understand - this is my repository created by me in my account.
Also, it worked fine up until last month. If it's disabled somewhere at the account level - could you please point me at the location of that setting? Here's the Plan summary - I'm staying on the Free Tier:
I only see "Prebuilt storage" as red-lining. How do I find and clear or eliminate it?
Again, I don't understand - it's my repository. There is no upstream. |

Could you please guide me? How can I allow them? What do I need to do? |

Check the repository settings, and select "Actions > General" in the menu. There you can choose which (if any) actions to allow. The documentation is here: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/enabling-features-for-your-repository/managing-github-actions-settings-for-a-repository#managing-github-actions-permissions-for-your-repository |

Thank you! Much better! From three, now the problem is reduced to one action: Do you see any problem with this configuration? |

Yes, you're still not allowing actions from the
Check if you have any browser setting, add-on, or similar that might hide the text field, and if not you might want to send a bug report to GitHub support. |

Yeah - your screenshot has it, and none of my browsers seems to... Tried on Chrome and Safari - neither one shows that "Allow specified actions" text field.
Checked - can't see anything that could possibly interfere.
Yeah... But they did not make it easy at all. Here are the options: It seems to force me to "GitHub Community". I may be dense today, but I don't see how to get the bug report to GitHub support. :-( |

That's odd, I do have a "report a bug" option on that page. I wonder if the direct link works for you? 😅 https://support.github.com/contact/bug-report Meanwhile you can use the "allow all actions and reusable workflows" option to disable limits on what you can call with |

Thank you - opened ticket https://support.github.com/ticket/personal/0/2077502 In the meanwhile, as a workaround I had to relax to "Allow all actions and reusable workflows". Not sure what the security consequences are... Also, an unrelated question: it looks like I've exhausted "Actions and Packages Storage" - how do I (a) find out what actions or packages consumed it, and (b) clear it all out? Thanks! |

For a personal repository, probably none at all. That setting simply restricts what you can call with
My first suspicion would be artifacts. Also in the billing section of your settings you can get a usage report, maybe that helps, not sure how detailed it is. |

I think you're correct. It says the space is taken by prebuilt's. Only question - there are four pages of prebuilt in one project only (the one we're talking about). I don't think I have prebuilt in other projects, but did not check them all. What would be a good way to delete all of the old prebuilt's? There's no way provided in the billing section, and I saw no way on the repo page. After I've deleted several prebuilt's manually, there was no increase of free space - still shows as 100% used up... |

actions/checkoutrefers to a repository that’s definitely not owned by you. 😉
