binaries-location not working as expected

[danhngo-lx]

I use this to install promtool:

      - name: Install promtool
        uses: jaxxstorm/action-install-gh-release@v1.10.0
        with:
          repo: prometheus/prometheus
          tag: 'v2.37.9'
          platform: linux
          arch: amd64
          cache: enable
          binaries-location: prometheus-2.37.9.linux-amd64

However when using promtool, the command is not found. I tried to echo $PATH and could see:

/opt/hostedtoolcache/prometheus/prometheus/v2.37.9/linux-amd64:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/home/runner/.local/bin

I think the path for prometheus should be /opt/hostedtoolcache/prometheus/prometheus/v2.37.9/linux-amd64/prometheus-2.37.9.linux-amd64 instead of /opt/hostedtoolcache/prometheus/prometheus/v2.37.9/linux-amd64? 🤔

I'm using github runner self-hosted by the way.

When you extract the archive, how does the result directory structure look?

The directory looks like this:

I was unable to reproduce this on a github hosted runner, so i suspect the issue is related to your self-hosted runner. Considering this closed, as unable to reproduce with a test
