Hi, @varndellwagglebee 👋 Thank you for your issue, but unfortunately, this problem seems unrelated to our action, as the Error states there is a lack of .csproj file in your project, and it is the root cause of your issue. Probably while committing you unintentionally deleted it.

Now I'm going to close this issue, If you have any additional questions feel free to ping me.

[varndellwagglebee]

The project file is there. But not seeing it.

[IvanZosimov]

@varndellwagglebee, could you provide me with a public repo to be able to reproduce your error?

@varndellwagglebee, sorry, but I don't have access to this repository.

[varndellwagglebee]

I invited you to repository.

[IvanZosimov]

Hi, @varndellwagglebee 👋 I investigated your repository and found that you made a mistake in the build command: 1) you should consider changing name of the solution in the build command from hyperbee.sln to Hyperbee.sln After that change dotnet build will start work normally.

This is not the issue of the action, just a typo in your code.

[varndellwagglebee]

Thank you for all your help.

Thank you for all your help.

Sorry to do this here, but may I please look at your repo too? I'm having a similar problem with my CI/CD action and was hoping I could look at one that is working.
