In a self-host-Runner environment, error retrieving approvers: error parsing exclude-workflow-initiator-as-approver flag: strconv.ParseBool: parsing "": invalid syntax An error will occur

[jieey1140]

The following error occurs.

error retrieving approvers: error parsing exclude-workflow-initiator-as-approver flag: strconv.ParseBool: parsing "": invalid syntax

my workflow step:

          - uses: trstringer/manual-approval@v1
             with:
                 secret: ${{ github.TOKEN }}
                 approvers: jieey1140
                 minimum-approvals: 1
                 issue-title: 'Deploying Production'

self-host-runner ENV:

OS: Ubuntu 22.04 Docker: Installed.

I need your help!

Thank you for opening this issue! Is this an open source repo? If so, could you share the link with me? I'm not able to reproduce this issue with your example:

      - name: Wait for approval
        uses: trstringer/manual-approval@v1
        with:
          secret: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          approvers: trstringer
          minimum-approvals: 1
          issue-title: 'Deploying Production'

This works as intended. But if I add the empty option, then I can get this error:

      - name: Wait for approval
        uses: trstringer/manual-approval@v1
        with:
          secret: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          approvers: trstringer
          minimum-approvals: 1
          issue-title: 'Deploying Production'
          exclude-workflow-initiator-as-approver:

error retrieving approvers: error parsing exclude-workflow-initiator-as-approver flag: strconv.ParseBool: parsing "": invalid syntax

Can you make sure that you're not specifying an empty exclude-workflow-initiator-as-approver parameter?

@trstringer

The same error occurs when you add these parameters. Problem only occurs with self-host-runner! I have attached a picture. :)

(The mention repository above is a private repository.)

Thank you.

Same for me, but different issue on a self-hosted runner (amd64). Private repo. Using GitHub runners works fine: Get "https://api.github.com/orgs/XXX/teams/gaspo53/members": dial tcp: i/o timeout Creating issue in repo XXX/XXX with the following content: Title: Manual approval required for workflow run 3565266281: Deploying INF-40-eks-cluster-should-have-git-hub-runners-deployed to xxx-xxx by gaspo53 Approvers: [gaspo53] Body: Workflow is pending manual review.

Hi @gaspo53

Your issue seems to be an issue caused due Docker's daemon socket connecting with the NAT GW of your virtual network.

This issue seems to be about 3 years old, so could you please confirm if you are still facing the issue @jieey1140 @gaspo53 . Apologies for so late replies.

[gaspo53]

Hi! Not facing the issue anymore. Thanks!
