Description

bug

Problem

The atomic-release-validate-contribution.yml reusable workflow has a lint_setup_steps input parameter that is defined but never used. The lint job runs lint_command directly without any setup, causing failures when the command requires tools that aren't pre-installed.

Current Implementation

inputs:
  lint_setup_steps:
    description: 'JSON array of setup steps to run before linting'
    required: false
    type: string
    default: '[]'

But the lint job never references this input:

lint:
  steps:
    - name: Checkout
      uses: actions/checkout@v4
    - name: Run lint command  # No setup steps\!
      run: |
        eval "${{ inputs.lint_command }}"

Impact

When lint_command is ct lint --config ct.yaml, the job fails with:

##[error]Process completed with exit code 127.

(command not found)

Workaround

Consumers must implement their own local lint job with proper setup:

azure/setup-helm@v4
actions/setup-python@v6
helm/chart-testing-action@v2.7.0

Proposed Fix

Either:

Implement lint_setup_steps: Parse the JSON array and run setup actions before lint
Remove the input: If setup can't be dynamic, remove the misleading parameter
Document the limitation: Clearly state that lint_command must use pre-installed tools
