Trying to use Flutter Github Action in CodeCatalyst doesnt work

Question

Hi all,

I am trying to use this Github Action called "[flutter](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/flutter-action)"

The action errors out even if I just use "flutter version" :
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: subosito/flutter-action@v2
  with:
    flutter-version: '3.0.5'
    channel: 'stable'
- run: flutter --version

I am not able to find the logfiles for the error - the CodeCatalyst console shows an error but no logfiles.

![Error in Flutter](/media/postImages/original/IMwB_mL8G6RH-d3hEwFlcYcQ)

Kind regards
Johannes

I'm not familiar with the Flutter action to give proper guidance. But you can run multiple shell commands using the GitHub `run: ` syntax for each command or use ";" to separate the commands.  Did the YAML that you pasted work for you?

Here's what I did and the workflow succeeded
```
    Configuration:
      Steps:
        - name: Flutter action
          uses: subosito/flutter-action@v2
          with:
            flutter-version: '3.0.5'
            channel: 'stable'
        - run: flutter --version
        - run: echo "hello"; echo "world"
```

Can you also share that issue you ran into initially when your workflow failed and what fixed it?

Answer

Hi Johannes, 
Thanks for sharing your initial YAML. I'm glad the YAML I shared worked for you, but just for your information

2. 1. You don't need to use the `checkout` action in CodeCatalyst.
2. Not sure if this is because of pasting the YAML in the post, but there is an extra space before the `uses` section.

Here's the YAML with the flutter action that worked for me. FYI, you don't need to use the `checkout` action. If you configure the GitHub Actions action with `Inputs` -> `Sources`, that instructs the action to checkout the code in the repository where the workflow is stored aka WorkflowSource.

```
Name: TestGH
SchemaVersion: "1.0"

Actions:
  FlutterGH:
    Identifier: aws/github-actions-runner@v1
    Inputs:
      Sources:
        - WorkflowSource

Configuration:
      Steps:
        - name: Flutter action
          uses: subosito/flutter-action@v2
          with:
            flutter-version: '3.0.5'
            channel: 'stable'
        - run: flutter --version

Hey

The original error was "no error visibile" ;)
I have fixed that with two things...
My initial YAML was

```
Name: TestGH
SchemaVersion: "1.0"

Actions:
  FlutterGH:
    Identifier: aws/github-actions-runner@v1
    Inputs:
      Sources:
        - WorkflowSource

Configuration:
      Steps:
        - name: Flutter action
        - uses: actions/checkout@v3
        -  uses: subosito/flutter-action@v2
          with:
            flutter-version: '3.0.5'
            channel: 'stable'
        - run: flutter --version
```
(had too much - in it and one action too much) - as I had copy/pasted from here: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/flutter-action

Answer

Is the `Type` attribute of `Compute` configuration set to `Lambda` either in the action or at the workflow scope? Can you share the YAML configuration of the workflow and the action?
