How to build file path for a JS import from within a reusable workflow

[jasongitmail]

I have 2 workflows:

1. an initiating workflow in my application repo ("repo A")
2. a reusable workflow within a different repo

This works well, except when using github-script within the reusable workflow, because I'm unable to build a correct file path:

       - name: Call my JS file
         uses: actions/github-script@v6
         with:
           script: |
             const fs = require('fs');
             const { foo } = await import(`${ process.cwd() }/lib/foo.js`)

I've tried:

• github.action_path but this is the path for repo A. /home/runner/work/myproj/myproj (like suggested here for "composite actions", which are different)
• github.workspace same path, as above, for repo A. /home/runner/work/myproj/myproj
• github.path gives /home/runner/work/_temp/_runner_file_commands/add_path_1d4d143f-7e45-4181-a863-88f16a7740fc", which won't help me build the file import path.
• ${ process.cwd() }/lib/foo.js

I have no luck getting the import to work.

Any suggestions?

The solution was stop using github-script, checkout the repo containing the reusable workflows (using a Personal Access Token) from the callee workflow because the reusable workflow is actually executed in the callee's workflow context. Then use a regular node script.js command to run the JS file.

I'd like to know how to do it as well :( seems like a real showstopper
