Can you share a link to your workflow? There's nothing in particular we do to manage your working directories. I believe the configuration option you mentioned simply switches the working directory before running the action rather than providing the job steps' working-directory
input
here is an excerpt, hope this helps:
jobs:
build_and_deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
defaults:
run:
working-directory: ./frontend
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: pnpm/action-setup@v4
with:
version: latest
run_install: false
- shell: bash
run: |
echo "STORE_PATH=$(pnpm store path --silent)" >> $GITHUB_ENV
- uses: actions/cache@v4
with:
path: ${{ env.STORE_PATH }}
key: ${{ runner.os }}-pnpm-store-${{ hashFiles('**/pnpm-lock.yaml') }}
restore-keys: |
${{ runner.os }}-pnpm-store-
- run: pnpm i
- name: Build
run: pnpm run dist
- name: Deploy to GitHub release
uses: softprops/action-gh-release@v2
with:
files: frontend/dist/*.zip
tag_name: zipped_dist
where pnpm run dist
command packages everything into a zip file.
If this workflow looks good to you, I can try to provide a minimal reproducible repo.
I think I see the issue
the following settings the working directory for each step. think of it like the PWD path when executing a step
defaults:
run:
working-directory: ./frontend
In your files declaration you provide the patternfrontend/dist/*.zip
which will be resolved while you are in the frontend
directory which would assume a path more like frontend/frontend/dist/*.zip
because its relative to the working-directory for the step.
- name: Deploy to GitHub release
uses: softprops/action-gh-release@v2
with:
files: frontend/dist/*.zip
Could you try and remove the frontend prefix from that step? Since the working-directory is frontend that would then resolve to something like frontend/dist/*.zip
- name: Deploy to GitHub release
uses: softprops/action-gh-release@v2
with:
files: dist/*.zip
afaik,
with:
files: frontend/dist/*.zip
is working (current working version of my workflow), but
with:
files: dist/*.zip
does not work (cannot find anything matching *.zip
) (my initial not-working version)
What happens when you remove the frontend part of the path after setting the working directory to frontend?
files
option does not seem to respectjobs.<job_name>.defaults.run.working-directory
from github. I have to prepend working directory path to every file underfiles
for gh actions to find the correct file.
