github action cannot use action from private repo

Question

I have a paid github org.

We have a series of private repos - and along with that we need to use actions which are also held in private repos.

here is a simple example:

name: FE Main - Commit received
on:
  - push

jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: org-com/ghaction-slack-notification@v1
        with:
          slack_webhook_url: ${{ secrets.SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL }}
        if: always()

The action is using the action from within the org, however unless i make:

org-com/ghaction-slack-notification

public.. then the actions fail as the tar cannot be loaded due to permissions.

The error is something like:


An action could not be found at the URI 'https://api.github.com/repos/org-com/ghaction-slack-notification/tarball/a5e91154adf6c4b628576352f8788ae4c203c02b'

How can i run an action that uses an action in private repo?

See this issue about it. It is already planned and there is a third-party-action for this. — dan1st

The documentation seems to suggest this is possible for internal repositories of GitHub Enterprise Cloud for organizations, Allowing access to components in an internal repository. Though I continue to receive the same error. Also, the issue, Use actions from internal repositories, is planned for Q4 of 2021.

It looks like GitHub actions for private repo's isn't made available yet :'(

Hopefully it will be sometime this year!

P.S. I've also tried to run GitHub actions in my private repo, but I"m getting this error: Workflows can't be executed on this repository. Please check your payment method or billing status.
