I have a reusable workflow which I use to build and push images. I’m trying to create a certificate file in the first relevant step (which works), however the file isn’t accessible in the next step for some reason.

      - name: Create temp certificate file
        working-directory: ${{ inputs.working-directory }}
        if: ${{ inputs.temp-ca-cert }}
        run: |
          mkdir -p ./certs
          cat > $GITHUB_WORKSPACE/certs/temp-ca.crt <<< "${{ vars.temp_CA }}"
          pwd
          ls ./certs

      - name: Build image
        id: build-image
        working-directory: ${{ inputs.working-directory }}
        env:
          DOCKER_IMAGE: ${{ inputs.image-repository }}
          IMAGE_TAG: ${{ inputs.image-tag || steps.generate-image-tag.outputs.image-tag }}
        run: |
          pwd
          ls
          ls certs/
          ${{ inputs.build-command }}

          echo "image-tag=$IMAGE_TAG" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT

Output in first step:

/home/runner/work/repo/repo # pwd
temp-ca.crt # ls ./certs

Output in second step:

/home/runner/work/repo/repo # pwd
Makefile # ls
README.md
docker
pyproject.toml
requirements-dev.lock
requirements.lock
repo
ls: cannot access 'certs/': No such file or directory

Any inputs would be much appreciated! Thank you.

I’ve tried viewing the files in the relevant directories in an attempt to debug, but wasn’t successful.
