Unable to initialise Solr in Github workflow

Question

This is the GitHub action file that I  have used in the workflows.

.github/workflows/go.yml 

name: Go

on:
  push:
    branches: [ master development ]
    tags:
      - '*'
  pull_request:
    branches:
      - '*'
jobs:
  test:
    name: Test
    runs-on: [self-hosted, linux]
    services:
      solr:
        image: solr
        ports:
          - 2010:8983
        options: solr:8.3.1 - cloud
    steps:
    - name: Set up Go 1.x
      uses: actions/setup-go@v2
      with:
        go-version: ^1.14
      id: go

    - name: Check out code into the Go module directory
      uses: actions/checkout@v2
     
    - name: Get dependencies
      run: |
        go get -v -t -d ./...
       
    - name: Test
      run: |
        mkdir build
           go test ./... -v -coverprofile build/coverage.txt -coverpkg=./...
        cat build/coverage.txt | grep -v '.pb.go' > build/coverage.out
        go tool cover -func build/coverage.out
       
    - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
      with:
        name: build artifacts
        path: build

In the result of the workflow I am getting connection refused, Workflow is able to pull the Solr container but, in my test, I am getting the following  error:

Get "http://localhost:2010/solr/customer/select?q=id%3A2+\u0026wt=json": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2010: connect: connection refused"

Since the  Solr container has been pulled, I am expecting my test to successfully hit the Solr API.

I believe your "options" setting is actually passing args to the container that make the service error out. At least, when I try them locally that's what seems to be happening. Try your service setup this way to get the explicit version you want:

  services:
    solr:
      image: solr:8.3.1
      ports:
        - 2010:8983

It can be a bit difficult to debug service container startup. But if you dig around in the action logs you should find some clues.
