I don't understand how tox-gh-actions picks the correct environment

Question

Hello there,

I have this tox.ini https://github.com/pylint-dev/pylint-pytest/blob/300774b/tox.ini and this action https://github.com/pylint-dev/pylint-pytest/blob/300774bc6e7e1612f9753ed97d781f4c42e3d680/.github/workflows/run-tests.yaml#L44.

I am wondering why every other environment is picked up automatically, but the py36 cannot be picked up.

The tox -vv logging between 3.6 and e.g. 3.7 is "much different" from me, and I don't understand what would be blocking understanding that Python3.6 === py36 environment.

Hello @stdedo . tox-gh-actions always require users to configure [gh-actions] in tox.ini. For example, if you add something like the following, tox and tox-gh-actions may work as expected.

[gh-actions]
python =
    3.7: py37
    3.8: py38
    3.9: py39
    3.10: py310
    3.11: py311
    3.12: py312

I see - I guess I didn't even "really activate it" 😅
But somehow it looked like it affected results.

In any case - thank you for your response!
