Description

Using gitea 1.24.6, I have the below workflow file.

name: Scheduled Assets Journal

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '0 9 * * *'
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  trigger:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    strategy:
      max-parallel: 1
      fail-fast: false 
      matrix:
        config:
          - { stock_code: '00291', market: 'HK', investingdotcom_index_symbols: '[]' }
          - { stock_code: '09922', market: 'HK', investingdotcom_index_symbols: '[]' }
    steps:
      - name: Checkout repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          ref: develop

      - name: Run Single Assets Journal Action
        uses: ./.gitea/actions/run_single_assets_journal
        with:
          stock_code: ${{ matrix.config.stock_code }}
          market: ${{ matrix.config.market }}
          investingdotcom_index_symbols: ${{ matrix.config.investingdotcom_index_symbols }}

I want the the steps to run sequentially while using matrix syntax.

However, they are running in parallel. So it looks like that the trigger.strategy.max-parallel configuration is not working.

I do not think max-parallel is implemented right now

Gitea Actions currently duplicates the jobs when triggering the workflow, then they are all queued in parallel.

There are more things not (correctly) implemented.
