Introduction
I’m currently contributing to a GitHub project.
For this, I’m writing a GitHub workflow inside a GitHub Action that tests the creation of JavaDoc files.
This workflow should be run with act.
The project of the GitHub Action when I want to add this GitHub Workflow: https://github.com/MathieuSoysal/Javadoc-publisher.yml
Problem
The problem, when I execute my GitHub workflow with act I obtain this error.

GitHub Action
The GitHub Action of the project : https://github.com/MathieuSoysal/Javadoc-publisher.yml/blob/main/action.yml
Command
The executed command to run nektos/act : act
Question
Does someone know how we can fix this problem mvn: command not found issue with nektos/act?
>Solution :
Explanation
Your problem is caused by the fact that the image you use with nektos/act does not has mvn.
How to fix it
You have several possibilities to fix it.
First solution
The first solution: if you want to keep your image.
You can add these lines inside your GitHub workflow to add mvn :
#### This step is only needed for GHA local runner, act:
# https://github.com/nektos/act
- name: Install curl (for nektos/act local CI testing)
run: apt-get update && apt-get install build-essential curl pkg-config openssl -y
- name: Download Maven
run: |
curl -sL https://www-eu.apache.org/dist/maven/maven-3/3.6.3/binaries/apache-maven-3.6.3-bin.zip -o maven.zip
apt-get update
apt-get -y install unzip
unzip -d /usr/share maven.zip
rm maven.zip
ln -s /usr/share/apache-maven-3.6.3/bin/mvn /usr/bin/mvn
echo "M2_HOME=/usr/share/apache-maven-3.6.3" | tee -a /etc/environment
####
Second solution
The second solution: if you agree to change your used image.
Instead of your act command, you can execute this:
act -P ubuntu-latest=quay.io/jamezp/act-maven
