Hi. 👋

I was trying to use this action on our project, but the action fails with the following log:

Do you know what might be happening?

Hi,

The error is weird 🤔

The main field is supported but it seems to make the action fail.

Maybe the YAML I wrote is not fully compatible with Github's YAML parser?

But I don't really see what's wrong with it:

https://github.com/Embraser01/update-git-branch-action/blob/36713b64f99cf4f4752e4b7ede74be8f81eb7788/action.yml#L1-L21

If I had to guess, perhaps it's something to do with the env variable? Looking at the docs, it seems that it isn't supported, which leads me to believe it may be conflicting with the main variable. (I'd try to require that .pnp.js file not through the command line, it seems like an odd way to go about it.)

FWIW, I was not able to fix this action either, the .pnp.js would fail to execute for me. I ended up with a few simple lines of bash:

https://github.com/LinqLover/create-image/blob/3477aca9d3fa681e896cc8a4e964fa36f40555f5/.github/workflows/release.yml#L8-L17

  update-branch:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@master
    - shell: bash
      run: |
        git config --global user.name "GitHub Actions"
        git config --global user.email "github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com"
        git branch -f latest
        git push -f origin latest

Maybe we really don't need a separate action for a task of that complexity?
