Describe issue
I'm facing an issue with act when running any job that tries to clone a repository with actions/checkout while specifying the ref parameter.
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
with:
ref: act/checkout_ref_error

Additional information
When the ref parameter is removed, act works fine and actions/checkout manages to clone the repo. Link the failed workflow run for reproducibility: https://github.com/Wenzel/bug_report/actions/runs/8645464938/job/23702674057
Thanks for act !

Actually no, actions/checkout is just replaced by docker cp in that case.
act -s GITHUB_TOKEN should make it possible to run it with a user supplied token, created a invalid token causes more errors than an empty one
@Wenzel Because of your bug and ChrstopherHX's comment, I searched the usage guide and found a section dealing with this. On the Usage page https://nektosact.com/usage/index.html search for GITHUB_TOKEN.
It's a bit counter-intuitive to me that this case needs an auth token, but if you have the gh cli installed then the solution's this simple act -s GITHUB_TOKEN="$(gh auth token)"
Issue is stale and will be closed in 14 days unless there is new activity
