Describe issue

When using a reusable workflow that defines the same input parameter in both its workflow_call and workflow_dispatch events, the workflow incorrectly uses the default value from the workflow_dispatch event instead of the value passed from the calling workflow.
Steps to reproduce:

  • Create a main workflow that calls a reusable workflow, passing a specific value for an input parameter.
  • In the reusable workflow, define the same input parameter in both workflow_call and workflow_dispatch events, with different default values.
  • Run the main workflow.

See the Dockerfile for repro

Do you have already a plan when or how this could be tackled?

Hello, if the issue is not taken then I am interested to contribute. I would greatly appreciate any guidance or direction from a regular contributor to help me get started effectively.

act/pkg/runner/reusable_workflow.go

Lines 116 to 144 in 03a4480

func newReusableWorkflowExecutor(rc *RunContext, directory string, workflow string) common.Executor {
return func(ctx context.Context) error {
planner, err := model.NewWorkflowPlanner(path.Join(directory, workflow), true)
if err != nil {
return err
}
plan, err := planner.PlanEvent("workflow_call")
if err != nil {
return err
}
runner, err := NewReusableWorkflowRunner(rc)
if err != nil {
return err
}
return runner.NewPlanExecutor(plan)(ctx)
}
}
func NewReusableWorkflowRunner(rc *RunContext) (Runner, error) {
runner := &runnerImpl{
config: rc.Config,
eventJSON: rc.EventJSON,
caller: &caller{
runContext: rc,
},
}

From initial investigation I found out, for reusable workflow PlanEvent is being called with workflow_call but NewReusableWorkflowRunner is being initialized using the passed down rc with workflow_dispatch.

Before initializing the ReusableWorkflowRunner the rc -> config -> EventName needs to be overwritten with workflow_call.

This fix still doesn't resolve the issue. Now the event is correct workflow_call but the values are incorrect as it's using the default values of workflow_call.

I am still figuring out where the values from main workflow is passed to the reuse workflow.

Yes you can take this issue, this doesn't fit into my capacity for act to work on this year

Now the event is correct workflow_call

workflow_call is not an event that ever appears in github.event_name

workflow_dispatch is correct in reusable workflows triggered by a workflow that used event workflow_dispatch.

Reusable workflows in act are unfinished and unmaintained, after those working on them left

I am still figuring out where the values from main workflow is passed to the reuse workflow

Yes this is confusing, especially if someone uses the act workflow_call to bypass some logic as well.

I assume act push works? if your parent workflow uses anything different from workflow_dispatch.
