Cannot read file from repository about unity-test-runner

[litefeel]

Fix it #112

Thank you for your help and patience, I'm 99% sure it's something incorrectly configured, but I'm struggling to debug. I will ask more in discord if I still can't figure it out.

This literally means that the file is not there in the docker container. Note that only some paths are mounted in the container.

If not what litefeel proposed, @webbertakken , what's the correct solution to this problem? This is preventing my team from using game-ci, unfortunately. Thanks for your help and for maintaining this awesome project.

Is there a different path we should be storing the file to to make sure the container has access?

[webbertakken]

The recommended and documented way is to copy the contents of your license file into the UNITY_LICENSE variable.

Note that since we've started GameCI, I've not heard any remotely convincing arguments as to why users would need to push around licenses as files. But that doesn't mean it doesn't work. So if you must use a file, then the path obviously has to be one of the paths that is mounted into the container.

We're open for merge requests if you feel test-runner is lacking in a way. However it should not break existing workflows, like the one above does.

Now, github action can store multiline strings to GITHUB_ENV, So you can use the UNITY_LICENSE variable.
like this.

# Set env
- name: Set env UNITY_LICENSE
  run: |
     echo 'UNITY_LICENSE<<EOF' >> $GITHUB_ENV
     cat UnityLicense/${{ matrix.unityVersion }}.ulf >> $GITHUB_ENV
     echo '' >> $GITHUB_ENV
     echo 'EOF' >> $GITHUB_ENV

While that would work, this is a workaround that makes setting up your workflow much harder.

We might also be able to help others if one or both of you could explain why the regular way doesn't work for you, and maybe also what didn't work about passing the file and providing a path to that.

Ah, thank you for your help, both of you! I agree it would it would be preferred to use string file contents froma github secret. Unfortunately when I try to use github secrets they come out as empty strings.

Your point is a good one; I can't come up with a good reason for spending anyone's energy supporting files except for github secrets misbehaving. Even this is resolvable by just putting the file contents in as a multiline string just as well.

When I've worked with secrets before they usually show up as **** if present

[webbertakken]

Note that hundreds of people were successful getting it to work following our documentation at game.ci.
Also note that it's intended behaviour that your secrets don't show up in your logs, they're supposed to show up as ***.

If you have found an actual bug in GitHub secrets, it would be very important to report this to GitHub.
That said, in my experience secrets have been working perfectly fine all the time.

@pixelpax did you find out what was wrong?

[pixelpax]

I was using an .alf where a .ulf was supposed to go, I believe. Still not sure why gh secrets weren't populating.

Ok, closing this issue since this doesn't seem to be an issue with Unity Test Runner.
