npx command fails when executed via Github Actions

[FritzerMcQ]

Hi, I set up a github action that will trigger a build process and publishes the build on my meli installation. Whoever using the npx command: npx @getmeli/cli upload ./build --branch [branch] --site [site] --url [url] "--token=***"

Will result in an npm error: Cannot open assembly 'upload': No such file or directory. npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE npm ERR! errno 2

I wrapped that command as a npm script and tested the whole process on my computer. It went through without a problem. But fails when executed in github actions. How the runner calls the command up above:

     - name: Run build & deploy
       working-directory: ./landingpage
       run: |
         npm ci
         npm run build
         npm run meli -- --token=${{secrets.MELI_TOKEN}}

I neither found any hint solving the problem on the web nor in an old issue here. Thanks for helping

Hi @FritzerMcQ,

I suspect it might be the same issue as encountered by some people with the @angular/cli.

Could you please try the following command?

npx -p @getmeli/cli meli upload ...

And if it's still not enough:

npx -p "@getmeli/cli" meli upload ...

I'll investigate further if this doesn't solve your problem.

Edit: (fixed the commands above and:) Could you also try to force npx to use the latest version of the cli (just in case)?

npx @getmeli/cli@latest upload ...

[FritzerMcQ]

Yes!

npx -p "@getmeli/cli" meli upload ...

this one worked fine.

Thank you!
