ERROR: Could not open requirements file: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '.GITHUB_ACTION_PATH\\..\\python\\requirements.txt'

[marcelom2s]

I have the following error: ERROR: Could not open requirements file: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '.GITHUB_ACTION_PATH\\..\\python\\requirements.txt'

When I try the following job:

  - name: Publish Test Results
    uses: EnricoMi/publish-unit-test-result-action/windows@v2
    if: always()
    with:
      files: |
        TestResults/*.trx        

Any idea why? Here is the log from the GitHub Actions:

I think it's the same issue reported here: https://github.com/EnricoMi/publish-unit-test-result-action/issues/580

[EnricoMi]

Yes, looks like a duplicate.

[EnricoMi]

Fix has been released. Thanks for reporting!

[marcelom2s]

Yes, it's working now, thanks!
