@FrancisChuh

@FrancisChuh can you please share more details how to reproduce?

right now I have no idea what happened and just see a error python3: command not found

Actually I only reuse the sample yml directly on my private gitea server which is a windows server not Linux. And then got the below errors.
if [[ "$RUNNER_OS" == "Linux" ]]; then

pypa/setuptools#3269

export DEB_PYTHON_INSTALL_LAYOUT=deb
fi

Set up virtual environment

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Download artifact

python3 -m pip download -r "$GITHUB_ACTION_PATH/requirements.txt"

Verify artifact attestations

if ! gh attestation verify commit_check-*.whl -R commit-check/commit-check; then
echo "Artifact verification failed. Aborting installation."
exit 1
fi

Install artifact

python3 -m pip install commit_check-.whl pygithub-.whl
python3 "$GITHUB_ACTION_PATH/main.py"
shell: bash --noprofile --norc -e -o pipefail {0}
env:

For the error: python3: command not found

So you should use the following command on windows

python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate

@FrancisChuh

@FrancisChuh if you provide the same error log to the LLM, it should point to the same root cause: the workflow is using Linux-specific commands on a Windows runner.

Yeah. I also think that using the Linux -specific cmd on a windows runner. So is there a workaround to run on a windows runner?

Please try #218 (comment)

And I am not sure if GitHub action commit-check/commit-check-action@v2 can work or not on Gitea. Maybe you should use commit-check CLI directly.

I fork this and try to add the below but still could not run successfully

I finally get your point. You want this GitHub Action to support Windows runners?

Exactly correct. Will you consider to support that?

Actually if I am using pip, I will get the below errors.

@FrancisChuh

@FrancisChuh can you try to use the following

uses: commit-check/commit-check-action@feature/support-windows-runner

intead of

uses: commit-check/commit-check-action@v2

on your gitea server to see if it support Windows runner now?

@FrancisChuh it looks like act or Gitea issue. you can try to add RUNNER_OS: Windows. for example:
