Help using it on github action?

[apostasie]

Hey there,

I would like to use the project to install containerd+wincni+builkditd as part of a github action workflow.

The script I wrote is here:
https://github.com/farcloser/lepton/blob/a2f322d701460cc02d78bff2f9a7433f58649f22/hack/provisioning/windows/installer.ps1

And it is called from here: https://github.com/farcloser/lepton/blob/a2f322d701460cc02d78bff2f9a7433f58649f22/.github/workflows/integration-windows.yml#L67

Now, what I get is a bunch of errors:

Exception calling "ShouldProcess" with "2" argument(s): "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
At C:\Program Files\containers-toolkit\containers-toolkit\Public\ContainerdTools.psm1:62 char:13

I am sure I am missing something obvious here.
But yeah, I am new to windows, do not have a windows machine to test locally, and definitely not in my natural element here :-).

Any pointer about what I am doing wrong?

@apostasie Sorry for the late response.

The commands are correct. Seem to be a PS version issue or that it is running PowerShell on an Linux image. Need to test this and get back to you.

Just a few question:

1. The test-integration will only run Windows tests?
2. Why not use a Windows image since we can run the Bash file with git bash?

Hey @TinaMor - no problem! And thanks for this.

1. yes, this should only run windows tests
2. not sure what you mean - the github action runners are indeed windows (2022 and 2025) - am I missing something here?

And thanks for the info in your other comment.

I will give it a shot.

In the meantime, found this o365 error: Windows PowerShell is in NonInteractive mode

To run as Admin try this Powershell on GitHub Actions - run Script as Admin on self-hosted Windows Runner

Have you tried running the commands with -Confirm:$false -Force? The $PSCmdlet.ShouldProcess is waiting for you to confirm if to proceed with installation, i.e, interactive. -Confirm:$false -Force? skips the interactive confirmation.

eg: Install-Containerd -Confirm:$false -Force

Note: -force will uninstall existing version but not purge program data.

Will try in a minute. Thanks!
