Unable to see tmate.io link/connection string

To get the connection string, just open the Checks tab in your Pull Request and scroll to the bottom. There you can connect either directly per SSH or via a web based terminal.

YML

I have a simple YML action workflow to try this action out

name: CI

on: [push]

jobs:
  build:

    runs-on:  ubuntu-latest
    
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v1
    
    - name: Setup tmate session
      uses: mxschmitt/action-tmate@v1

Screenshots

I have looked on the PR itself and can not find it and the streaming logs is not listing anything out for me to see the URL, only when I cancel/stop the run can I see the log output and what the tmate.io URL was.

@andymckay I think this whole Action should just basically be part of Github Actions itself. The ability is to live debug a worker is invaluable.

👋🏽 Hi there from GitHub. Sorry that you are getting this issue.

It sounds like there’s a possible intermittent race condition going on here. The log is being written before the connection is being opened to the view the logs. If that happens the log isn’t going to be written back to the GitHub UI. I’ll talk to the engineering team and see what we can find out.
