Spawn Error while cloning powerplatform repo to internal organization

amenaafreenn opened this issue · comments

Hi Everyone,

We are trying to use the power-platform action by cloning it internally to our organization.

While doing so we are facing issues while using the action.

Below is the error log that we are encountering.

Can anyone help us here on this?

Run albertsons/esgh-powerplatform/export-solution@v0

@amenaafreenn please check the yaml of your workflow: does its checkout step specify to enable git LFS?

Ensure the checkout step does have lfs: true

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      with:
        lfs: true

@amenaafreenn also, it appears you've cloned/forked our microsoft/powerplatform-actions repo into your own GH org, but are most likely missing the /dist folder.
Note we STRONGLY advise against cloning of our Power Platform GH Actions repo into your own GH org, as you'll miss out future updates, unless you regularly update your fork.
If you want or need to stick with a particular release of our GH Actions, we recommend you author your GH workflow to not use the floating @v0 or @latest tags after our tasks' names, but instead to pin to a particular version, e.g.:

    - name: create ephemeral test environment
      uses: microsoft/powerplatform-actions/create-environment@v0.7.1   # pin to the May/June refresh

check the version tags under Releases: https://github.com/microsoft/powerplatform-actions/releases
On each monthly release we make, we do tag that release first with a unique version tag, e.g. v0.7.1 as above. That specific tag is never moved; even if we had to do a hot fix, we'd increase it to e.g. v0.7.2

The v0 and latest tags, OTOH, we always do move it to the latest released monthly refresh, e.g. right now v0 points at v0.8.1
