Services not working

[fgimenez]

Hello! I have this workflow:

on: [push]

jobs:
  tests:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    container: node:12.16.1-stretch
    services:
      mongodb:
        image: "mongo:4.0.17"
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - run: yarn
      - run: yarn test

The yarn test command expects to find a mongodb service listening on 27017, but running act the command fails with MongooseServerSelectionError: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND mongodb. The same workflow succeeds on GitHub.

I've also tried -P ubuntu-latest=nektos/act-environments-ubuntu:18.04, any help is very appreciated :)

I was having a similar problem, especially when i was trying to combine rails caching with postgresql and redis. In the end i created a seperate workflow file called ci-local.yml based off of the production Github Actions file i had created and manually defined the services by calling apt-get then service %service_name% start.

Massive PITA but for localised testing this was the only way i could thoroughly test the functional parts of GitHub Actions where multiple parts are as yet unsupported.

Not a fix, just a hacky workaround to get myself out of trouble!

Same here. Services not working. Any workaround for the same?

@jadhavmanoj workaround is to use docker-compose
