Hello. Sorry for the late response. I finally have some free time to check this issue. Thanks for your patience.

Confirming this is still an issue I am getting the error on the following builds.

Run Ilshidur/action-discord@cc38eb40798e4aafd43ae51e8dd3e507dc57234e
##[error]Container action is only supported on Linux

Hello. Sorry, I totally forgot about this issue.

Apparently, containerized Actions can only runs on Linux environments according to this doc : https://help.github.com/en/actions/building-actions/about-actions#types-of-actions

I can't find any proper way to make it compatible, except to migrate it to a pure Javascript Action, which would make it a breaking change.

For now, if you use a GitHub-hosted runner, I recommend to use the ubuntu-18.04 environment :

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-18.04
    steps:
      - name: Discord notification
      env:
        DISCORD_WEBHOOK: ${{ secrets.DISCORD_WEBHOOK }}
      uses: Ilshidur/action-discord@master
      with:
        args: 'The project {{ EVENT_PAYLOAD.repository.full_name }} has been deployed.'

Sorry to answer this issue after so long ... only to provide so little help.

If someone has a workaround for this, I would be glad to document this or apply a fix. I admit that this can be a pain. Let's hope that GitHub has planned some solutions in the near future 🤞 .

I'm commenting here because someone surely, someday, will come back again and wonder how to do it on windows.

      - name: notify
        env:
          DISCORD_WEBHOOK: ${{ secrets.DISCORD_WEBHOOK }}
        run: |
          $MESSAGE=@"
          {\"content\": \"Cool message"}
          "@
          C:\msys64\usr\bin\curl.exe -i -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type:application/json" -X POST $env:DISCORD_WEBHOOK --data $MESSAGE

There you go, no dependencies needed, not even this action. just a simple curl request.
Have fun!
