MS Teams Not Working As Expected With and Github Action - microsoft-teams

Question

I am facing issue while sending notification to microsoft teams using below github action workflow YAML. As you can see in first job i am using right "ls -lrt" command and when this job1 succeeded then i got success notification in teams but to get failed notification, i purposefully removed hypen (-) from "ls lrt" command so that second job can fail and i can get fail notification. Overall idea is any job fail or success, i must get notification. But this is not happening for me actually. Any guidance and help would be appreciated.
name: msteams
on: push
jobs:
job1:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout#v2
- name: test run
run: ls -lrt
- name: "testing_ms"
if: always()
uses: ./.github/actions
job2:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
needs: job1
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout#v2
- name: test run
run: ls lrt
- name: "testing ms"
if: always()
uses: ./.github/actions
As in above YAML you can see i am using uses: ./.github/actions so i kept below mentioned code in another YAML file and kept in .github/actions folder parallel to my above main github action workflow YAML.

I don't know the entire answer for you, but right off I see the composite action trying to read secrets, which composite actions don't support. Try setting input params to the composite actions to pass in what you need.
