Description:
Problem
setup-python fails on self-hosted macOS EC2 runners with:
Error: ln: python314: Permission denied
The setup.sh installer script uses sudo to install the Python framework into /Library/Frameworks/ (line 50), but the subsequent symlink creation inside that root-owned directory runs without sudo, causing a permission error on runners where the CI user is not an admin.
Action version:
v6
Platform:
Runner type:
Tools version:
Any
Repro steps:
Make a deployment on a MacOS instance where the runner is running as a standard user with sudo permission.
Expected behavior:
The installation process creates symbolic links without failures.
Actual behavior:
Fix:
Can be addressed by this PR: actions/python-versions#384
