  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout repository

        shell: bash
        run: |
          source $(poetry env info --path)/bin/activate

          echo "PYTHONHOME=" >> $GITHUB_ENV

Thanks @IvanildoBarauna for the suggestion, that is a great trick.

I partially remember that the crucial pieces of my previous Gist were about sourcing to GITHUB_PATH and GITHUB_ENV because without that I had issues when trying to directly call scripts, python packages, and even the poetry binary. I have no system right now to test your script against that, but future readers might.

Hi @blu3r4y

I'm happy that I can contribute with others readers using your Gist, thanks.

I have a project that uses exactly this script structure, if you are interested in seeing how this works in the real world, here it is...

The following project below also has similar needs, but uses another method with python's "venv"
