Error trying to run a workflow in VS Code

[benojong]

Getting the error below

Error: there is no registered task type 'GitHub Local Actions'. Did you miss installing an extension that provides a corresponding task provider?

Hello @benojong. I have not seen this error before. Could you share the exact steps you followed to get this error message? Please include a screenshot if possible.

I am trying a run a github workflow in the highlighted step in the screenshots in VS Code. You can see the logs in the OUTPUT and the Terminal screens

@benojong I tested this on my end and looks like this indeed is a bug where when act prompts for the default image, the VS Code task ends. As a work around for now, I suggest copying the act command it is trying to use and then running it once manually in a terminal. Follow the prompts to then select a default image size. For example, in selecting Medium, my global actrc gets updated with the following content:

Check out this docs link if you need more info about what this configuration is about. Once this default is set, you can go back to using the extension and everything should work.

I will create an issue to track looking into fixing the original issue with the task ending.

I had this error in the Output>Tasks Panel as well, does not seem to be a fatal error.

First line is my own extension, that never logs such message and uses tasks as well
