trying to fix github actions build

[mdietze]

@robkooper looks like tests are failing. Should we force merge this PR and have @tezansahu address the issues with the tests in his open PR, or do you want to try and fix the tests here?

need to add default account and xml package for tests.

Looks like the problem is that GH Actions is running this with --workdir /github/workspace, which is messing with the BETY image entrypoint (which uses a relative file path). Not sure the best way to fix it. BETY should probably use absolute paths in its entrypoint.sh, but I feel like there must be a way to change the working directory of GH Actions docker runs.

Might be able to get away with something hacky like using entrypoint: /bin/bash with args: /path/to/betyuser.sh carya illinois ....

FWIW, I'm currently testing this out on a personal branch of this -- https://github.com/ashiklom/rpecanapi/runs/1386059263?check_suite_focus=true

UPDATE: This made it past this line, but failed on the actual R CMD check step.

Suggested change

	# entrypoint: /home/bety/script/betyuser.sh
	args: user carya illinois "Carya Demo User" [email protected] 1 1
	entrypoint: /bin/bash
	args: /home/bety/script/betyuser.sh carya illinois "Carya Demo User" [email protected] 1 1

Though, I guess setting entrypoint: /home/bety/script/betyuser.sh might be a more straightforward version of the same thing.
