github actions mount file as volume in container

I have following repo structure.

├── .cosmos
│   └── .config
├── .github
│   └── workflows
│       ├── plan.yml
│       └── update.yml
├── .gitignore
├── README.md
├── assets
│   ├── 1.png
│   ├── 2.png
│   └── 3.png
└── us-west-2
    ├── applications
    │   └── test.json
    └── cluster-config.json

And following GH Action yaml file.

plan.yml

name: Cosmos Plan

on:
  pull_request:
    paths:
      - "**/applications/*.json"
      - "**/cluster-config.json"

jobs:
  find:
    name: Find edited clusters
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    outputs:
      new: ${{ steps.find.outputs.new }}
      modified: ${{ steps.find.outputs.modified }}
      anyNew: ${{ steps.find.outputs.anyNew }}
      anyModified: ${{ steps.find.outputs.anyModified }}
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Checkout cosmos-find action
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
        with:
          repository: this/cosmos-find
          ref: refs/tags/v3
          path: ./.github/actions/cosmos-find
          token: ${{ secrets.COSMOS_PAT }}

      - name: Cosmos find
        id: find
        uses: ./.github/actions/cosmos-find

  create:
    needs: find
    if: ${{ needs.find.outputs.anyNew == 'true' }}
    name: Create ${{ matrix.cluster }} cluster (plan)
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    container:
      image: ghcr.io/this/cosmos:v2.3.0-prerelease
      credentials:
        username: ${{ github.actor }}
        password: ${{ secrets.COSMOS_PAT }}
      volumes:
        - ${{ github.workspace }}/.cosmos/.config:/github/home/.cosmos/.config
    strategy:
      fail-fast: false
      matrix: ${{fromJson(needs.find.outputs.new)}}
    steps:
      - name: Check cosmos config file
        run: |
          ls -al /github/home/.cosmos/.config 
          cat  /github/home/.cosmos/.config

I want to mount .cosmos/.config file from my current repository to the container that I am running the action on.

According to this Github Workflow Syntax https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idcontainervolumes , I should be able to do that.

I have specified volumes with following code block in my github action yml file.

container:
  image: ghcr.io/this/cosmos:v2.3.0-prerelease
  credentials:
    username: ${{ github.actor }}
    password: ${{ secrets.COSMOS_PAT }}
  volumes:
    - ${{ github.workspace }}/.cosmos/.config:/github/home/.cosmos/.config

I can see that during the Initialize Containers phase, GH Action is able to mount the file successfully. ( below logs )

    /usr/bin/docker create --name
 ee297063e4994cb488db28bfeadb1b8e_ghcriothiscosmosv230prerelease_487bad
 --label 8a33c1 --workdir /__w/virtualization-ci/virtualization-ci --network github_network_492eeddeb3ec4aca8594cb85567cea02  -e "HOME=/github/home" -e GITHUB_ACTIONS=true -e CI=true -v

 "/home/runner/work/_temp/_github_workflow":"/github/workflow"
 --entrypoint "tail" ghcr.io/this/cosmos:v2.3.0-prerelease "-f" "/dev/null"

But when I try to list and cat that file through GH Step Check cosmos config file, its telling me that its a directory. ( Error and Failure )

Run ls -al /github/home/.cosmos/.config 
  ls -al /github/home/.cosmos/.config 
  cat  /github/home/.cosmos/.config
  shell: sh -e {0}
cat: /github/home/.cosmos/.config: Is a directory

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 21 16:50 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 21 16:50 ..
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

I have tried to mount the file on my local docker container by giving the full path and it does so without any issues.

Thanks.
