# Known Issues
## GitHub Actions does automatically disable all workflow scripts after a period of time of inactivity
* Last known period: 60 days
For example, if GitHub repository has workflow scripts and was inactive a period of time, then all workflow scripts does disable.
You have to either make a commit to update the period and reenable the workflow scripts manually.

## `git fetch` error: `could not read Username for 'https://github.com': terminal prompts disabled`
```
Fetching the repository
/usr/bin/git -c protocol.version=2 fetch --no-tags --prune --progress --no-recurse-submodules --depth=1 origin +refs/heads/master*:refs/remotes/origin/master* +refs/tags/master*:refs/tags/master*
Error: fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': terminal prompts disabled
The process '/usr/bin/git' failed with exit code 128
Waiting 14 seconds before trying again
```

## `git fetch` error: `The process '/usr/bin/git' failed with exit code 1`
```
Fetching the repository

## The GitHub composite action has supported not all features of a generic GitHub action: https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/646
> **What does Composite Run Steps Not Support**
>
> We don't support setting conditionals, continue-on-error, timeout-minutes, "uses", and secrets on individual steps within a composite action right now.
>
> (Note: we do support these attributes being set in workflows for a step that uses a composite run steps action)
## Cygwin error: `Error: open /tmp/tmp.XXXXXXXXXX/...: The system cannot find the path specified.`
Variants:
* You have had try to run not Cygwin executable from the Cygwin shell. The Cygwin does not convert a posix path into the Windows path automatically.
To workaround the error do use the `TEMP_DIR` variable to declare explicit temporary directory out of Cygwin `/tmp` directory.
## Linux error: `Error: open /tmp/...: no such file or directory`
Variants:
* You have had try to run `yq` from https://github.com/mikefarah/yq.
Related issue:
* `yq fails to process files in /tmp` : https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/discussions/1299
To workaround the error do use the `TEMP_DIR` variable to declare explicit temporary directory out of Cygwin `/tmp` directory.

Only a single annotation gets created in composite actions. Every single annotation (error, warning, notice) with the exception of the last one gets ignored
