Hi @KiranReddy230!

Thank you so much for flagging this—it seems that this issue was caused by a change in the upstream container. I'll take a look and update this thread as soon as I have more information. Thank you!!

Thank you @ShahradR. Will wait for your update.

Hi @KiranReddy230

I just pushed an updated Dockerfile to the repository for both the v1 and v2 releases of the project, which should resolve your issue!

If you are referencing the GitHub Action using the latest or major version (@v1 or @v2), you should be able to re-run your job and hopefully it should work! If you're referencing a specific commit or tag, you'll need to update your GitHub workflow to reference the latest version—the diff below shows the update you would need to make if you're referencing a specific release.

I also opened aws-ia/taskcat#731 with the taskcat team, and they've already pushed a fix to update the base container!

Let me know if this resolves your issue, or if you have any other questions/comments/concerns, and thanks again for flagging this!

GitHub workflow update when referencing a specific commit

Update your workflow as shown below if you're referencing a specific commit. If you're only referencing the main branch or a major version (@v1 or @v2), no changes are required.
