Github Action for deploying Angular App to Firebase - No files were found with the provided path: project_name/dist/

[sujat-jeebly]

We are trying to auto-deploy our angular app using GitHub actions on firebase hosting but we are facing an error on the build step for our app showing that An unhandled exception occurred: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/home/runner/work/...../dist'

on GitHub actions, Getting the below error:

Run npm run build

> ngx-admin@0.1.0 build
> ng build

Warning: Support was requested for IE 11 in the project's browserslist configuration. IE 11 support is deprecated since Angular v12.
For more information, see https://angular.io/guide/browser-support
- Generating browser application bundles (phase: setup)...
An unhandled exception occurred: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/home/runner/work/project_name/project_name/dist'
See "/tmp/ng-gy4uE4/angular-errors.log" for further details.
Error: Process completed with exit code 127.

Please find our GitHub actions .yml file code below:

name: Auto Release

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - test_release_branch

jobs:
  build:
    name: Build and Deploy
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@master
      - name: Initialize Node
        uses: actions/setup-node@master
      - name: Install Dependencies
        run: npm install
      - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
        with:
          name: dist
          path: dist/
      - name: Build
        run: npm run build
      - name: Deploy
        uses: w9jds/firebase-action@master
        with:
          args: deploy --only hosting:site-name
        env:
          FIREBASE_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.FIREBASE_TOKEN }}

I can install, build, and deploy manually from my console just fine. I thought this error might have something to do with my dist directory's location on git, Any thoughts on what this might be?

@sujat-jeebly Please send your angular.json, firebase,json file here. Solution : Not always it goes to dist folder, it may be public or www folder Before running firebsae deploy you need to run ng build. During configuration of Firebase it asks which folder you want to use as your deployment directory. if the directory for ng build and Firebase deploy doesn't match it will throw error. Please check that and if this issue still remains reply back with the above mentioned files.
