Question

A developer's workflow uses a composite action named 'setup-tooling' that bundles four internal steps (checkout helper, install dependencies, configure cache, and verify install). A run fails and the job log shows the composite action step marked with a red X, but the top-level step summary only lists the composite action's name, not which internal step broke. Where in the UI should the developer look to identify exactly which of the four inner steps failed?

Accepted Answer

Expand the composite action's step group in the job log, where each internal step is nested and rendered with its own collapsible section and status

Answer

Open the composite action's source repository, since inner step statuses are never surfaced in the calling workflow's logs

Answer

Check the workflow run's Artifacts section, because composite action step details are uploaded there automatically

Answer

Re-run the job with debug logging enabled, as internal composite steps are hidden unless ACTIONS_STEP_DEBUG is set
