`project` not working about github-action HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks for your clarification. I don't know how I missed the big working-directory section in the README...

from github-action.

In which directory is your lockfile package-lock.json located?

from github-action.

Its in a subfolder under the root.

root
| - app1
| - app2
     | - package-lock.json
     | - cypress (...)

I solved it by setting working-directory: app2/, though I don't really know why this works. As far as I know working-directory does nothing for actions that use uses:, only for run: commands. Somewhere deep in your example files I found this syntax. I don't use project: at all with this as it messes with the path.

For your repo structure, with the lockfile in a sub-directory, the Cypress GitHub Action option working-directory is the correct option to use. The README documentation section working-directory describes how this works.

The Cypress GitHub Action option project expects to find a lockfile in the root of the repository. This is the reason for your original error message. The Cypress CLI documenation provides an example structure under cypress-io/cypress-test-nested-projects to demonstrate this.

Please let us know if you think that there are any errors in the documentation, otherwise I suggest to close this issue since you say that you have solved your issue by changing the workflow parameters.

You're welcome! 🙂

The documentation for the project option could be improved to make it clearer. I will put that on my to-do list.
