Ephemeral runners unable to run workflows, only a single job

[dv01d]

Describe the bug
The first job executed on an ephemeral runner always triggers ACTIONS_RUNNER_HOOK_JOB_COMPLETED when this should be reserved for the end of a workflow.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create an ephemeral runner
2. have two jobs in a workflow depend on it
3. First job triggers ACTIONS_RUNNER_HOOK_JOB_COMPLETED, which deletes the runner
4. Second, or subsequent jobs either wait forever or die part way through as the ephemeral runner is deleted

Expected behavior
ACTIONS_RUNNER_HOOK_JOB_COMPLETED should be only triggered at the end of a designated workflow, not each job.

Runner Version and Platform

Latest, self hosted ephemeral

OS of the machine running the runner? OSX/Windows/Linux/...
Linux, nothing to do with OS

What's not working?

Jobs hang, don't finish, or error out in a workflow in the UI.

More importantly ACTIONS_RUNNER_HOOK_JOB_COMPLETED seems to only run AFTER the first job, but fails to be executed after subsequent jobs. Conversely ACTIONS_RUNNER_HOOK_JOB_STARTED always runs at the beginning of a job, but the JOB_COMPLETED doesn't.

Hello @dv01d,

With ephemeral runners, they execute only a single job—not the entire workflow.

The hooks ACTIONS_RUNNER_HOOK_JOB_STARTED and ACTIONS_RUNNER_HOOK_JOB_COMPLETED are triggered before a job starts and after it ends, respectively.

Do you see any workflow logs that ACTIONS_RUNNER_HOOK_JOB_COMPLETED hook is executed/run ? Are there some errors ?

In my setup, the hooks are working as expected.
The ACTIONS_RUNNER_HOOK_JOB_COMPLETED hook is triggered after every end of job

No errors, it just doesn’t get executed. Perhaps as it was intended to only run for a single job. Seems strange that it could or would pick up any subsequent jobs if it was intended to only run a single job. Although even stranger that it runs the job started when it is running additional jobs, but never the job completed.
