TypeError: Converting circular structure to JSON

[remidebette]

TL;DR

Hi,

In the context of using github action runners in kubernetes sith scalesets, on our premisses, we recently saw this error happening at checkout.
It is happening randomly, with most runners working fine

What is the meaning of the error?

Expected behavior

All workflows should properly complete

Observed behavior

No response

Action YAML

I don't think the workflows are relevant, since most times it simply works.
But i can provide them if needed

Log output

Error: TypeError: Converting circular structure to JSON
    --> starting at object with constructor 'ClientRequest'
    |     property 'socket' -> object with constructor 'TLSSocket'
    --- property '_httpMessage' closes the circle
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.
Error: Executing the custom container implementation failed. Please contact your self hosted runner administrator.

Additional information

We are using github scaleset runners in kubernetes mode with version 0.10.1

Are these self-hosted runners? Line 12 is not part of google-github-actions/auth (/home/runner/k8s/index.js). As per the error message, you need to talk to your administrator:

Executing the custom container implementation failed. Please contact your self hosted runner administrator.

We cannot debug configuration issues with GitHub Actions self-hosted runners (sorry)!
