Problem
When a local workflow calls a reusable workflow from an external repository, and that external workflow calls another reusable workflow from the same external repo using a local reference (
./.github/workflows/...),actfails with a "file not found" error.Error:
stat /path/to/local/repo/.github/workflows/setup.yml: no such file or directoryThe nested workflow reference resolves relative to the local repository instead of the external repository.
Solution
Track the parent workflow's origin through the runner chain. When executing a reusable workflow from an external repo, store a reference to that workflow in the
callerstruct. When a nested workflow uses a local reference, check if we're inside a remote workflow and resolve the path accordingly.
