continuous-deploy-fingerprint error: The process '/usr/local/bin/npx' failed with exit code 1

[yannikreiter-maxworx]

Description of the bug

Using the continous-deploy-fingerprint sub action as described in the sample workflow causes the following error: Error: Could not get fingerprint for project: Error: The process '/usr/local/bin/npx' failed with exit code 1

To Reproduce

1. Create GitHub Actions workflow based on the sample
2. Create pull request

Expected behavior

Based on the fingerprint, either an update is published or new build is started.

Actual behavior

The "Continuously Deploy" step fails.

Additional context

This is my YAML file, slightly altered from the sample:

• Use staging branch instead of main
• Remove test job
• Use npm instead of yarn
• Use development-preview as profile and branch

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - staging
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, synchronize]

env:
  EXPO_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.EXPO_TOKEN }}

jobs:
  continuously-deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    concurrency: continuous-deploy-fingerprint-${{ github.event_name != 'pull_request' && 'staging' || github.run_id }}
    permissions:
      contents: read # Allow checkout
      pull-requests: write # Allow comments on PRs

@yannikreiter-maxworx - can you provide a set of commands/instructions to create an expo project that this occurs in?

[wschurman]

Tried to repro with a basic project and couldn't find the repro. If you have a project repro that this occurs on, definitely open a new issue with the instructions. Thanks for the report!
