workflow_dispach with inputs does not work properly

[jarbelix]

Description

I have a workflow as described in the official documentation (https://docs.github.com/en/actions/how-tos/write-workflows/choose-where-workflows-run/choose-the-runner-for-a-job) to choose which runner via workflow_dispatch inputs

My workflow deploy-select.yml

name: Workflow Deploy (select the docker-server)

on: 
workflow_dispatch: 
  inputs: 
    docker-server: 
      description: Select the docker server 
      required: true 
      type: choice 
      options: 
      - dev 
      - man 
      - prd

jobs: 

  pull-from-registry-and-deploy: 

  runs-on: [ "${{ inputs.docker-server }}" ] 

  steps: 

    - name: Repository checkout 
      uses: actions/checkout@v4

....

The workflow doesn't start.

It remains in the Waiting status.

@jarbelix have you setup an act runner to run your actions? per https://docs.gitea.com/usage/actions/act-runner

[jarbelix]

Yes. I installed the Runner with docker( (https://docs.gitea.com/usage/actions/act-runner#install-with-the-docker-image) ), but unfortunately the runner waits indefinitely.

I tested it on GitHub and it worked fine.

See the workflow - https://github.com/Tiozao-do-Linux/github-actions/actions/workflows/workflow-select.yml
