Generic action has `api` nil in context when called from `code_interface`

I have a generic action in my resource: 
    action :blibs, :any do
      run fn _, context ->
        __MODULE__
        |> Ash.Query.filter(...)
        context.api.read() 
      end
    end
    action :blibs, :any do
      run fn _, context ->
        __MODULE__
        |> Ash.Query.filter(...)
        context.api.read() 
      end
    end
and I have it set in that resource code_interface: 
  code_interface do
    define_for FeedbackCupcake.Accounts

    define :blibs
  end
  code_interface do
    define_for FeedbackCupcake.Accounts

    define :blibs
  end
Since I have the define_for in the code_interface I was expecting that the generic action context will have the api key filled with FeedbackCupcake.Accounts so I can fetch it and use in to call read function. Is this a bug? If not, how can I figure out what is the API I should call that function in this case?

Hmm…I’d have to look. Does it have the api in the context when you call it outside of the code interface? Might just be a missing feature 🙂 And one that shouldn’t be too difficult to add

I will check that ASAP and return with an update I belive that is the correct way to run a generic action right? 
FeedbackCupcake.Accounts.User |> Ash.ActionInput.for_action(:blibs, %{}) |> FeedbackCupcake.Accounts.run_action()
FeedbackCupcake.Accounts.User |> Ash.ActionInput.for_action(:blibs, %{}) |> FeedbackCupcake.Accounts.run_action()
If so, the api field in the context is still nil

Gotcha. I think what we should do is add an api field to ActionInput And set that field when you call run_action Should be a pretty small change. You want to take a stab at it?

Sure, I will try it out today in the evening Hey @Zach Daniel , took me some time to go back to this, but FYI I just created a small PR which fills the api field from ActionInput when running an action. https://github.com/ash-project/ash/pull/676
